COVID 19 Statement

These are exceptional times. With Coronavirus – COVID-19 - we all face an unprecedented global challenge. The Stiltz Group continue to review activities on a daily basis to ensure we comply with safety directives at all times. At the same time, we look to balance this with providing the expected levels of service and support to our customers while being mindful of minimising risk for all concerned.

We are acutely aware that our customers tend to fall into higher risk categories, whether due to age, or as a result of pre-existing medical conditions. Therefore it is all the more important for our current and future customers to maintain their safety and independence at home with the help of their homelifts; this contributes towards the current policy of social distancing, especially important for seniors and those with compromised immune systems. Reduction of accidents within the home at this time will also help minimize the burden on the increasingly stressed healthcare system.

We are keen to ensure those who need new homelifts installed and those who require their lifts to be serviced, can expect these activities to take place without fear of risk to their health. There are multiple online resources that will guide you to assist in providing a safe workplace for your employees and help protect the customers whose home you visit. Two we would recommend are:

OSHA - click here to visit

We are in this together and are standing by to offer you as much support as possible during this challenging time. If you have any questions, concerns or doubts about anything, please contact your territory manager or the technical services team and we will do our best to assist.

Sincerely

Mark Blomfield

President

Why a Stiltz Home Elevator Can Tick All the Boxes

Jan 8, 2016

It might be the day you felt some pain in your knee after a hard day’s work in the yard.  It could have been the day the vacuum cleaner felt heavier and more cumbersome than it usually did.  Or maybe it was the day you had a close call and almost slipped while coming down the stairs.

Perhaps you are just planning for the future.  There are many reasons that people decide they need a safer and more convenient way of getting up the stairs in their home and everyone has their own story regarding their motives and decision to find a solution.

Traditionally there have been two main solutions for access between floors in the home environment.  The simplest solution has been a stairlift.  They fix to the stairs and usually do a good job of moving you safely from one floor to the other.

If you care about nothing else but that one factor, a stairlift may well be the right product for you.  But there are a number of drawbacks to a stairlift on emotional, practical and financial levels.  Many of us at Stiltz used to work for stairlift companies and we have experienced these first-hand.

Alternatively, a hydraulic home elevator can be installed.  Unlike a stairlift they can usually move more than one person between floors and are certainly a more upscale option.  But with this type of residential elevator come other challenges and barriers to ownership. Hydraulic elevator lifts can be noisy and may only be able to be installed in a few places in the home because of the need for a lift shaft. They are also usually quite expensive.

Occasionally a wheelchair or platform lift will be used inside the home but these are primarily used for outdoor use due to their very industrial appearance and noise.

Now there is a third option.  Stiltz offer a range of uniquely designed totally electric home elevators that are not only quick and easy to install but also overcome the many disadvantages of both stairlifts and hydraulic elevator lifts.

The Stiltz selection of non-hydraulic residential elevators check a significant number of boxes in terms of what to look for in a elevator lift and we are confident that most home owners will find our products a great fit for their home, lifestyle and personality.
