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 the Stiltz Wheelchair Lift is Practical and Stylish

Dec 12, 2016

When you are looking to adapt your home to suit your specific wheelchair access needs, a home elevator is a practical, discreet and stylish solution.

During the research process of the purchase of a home elevator there are obviously many factors to consider, such as the location of the elevator, the space inside that you may need, the weight you might need to accommodate, whether you will be using the lift on foot or in a wheelchair and how it will blend with the surroundings within your home.

For example, the Stiltz Trio wheelchair lift, looks great, fits in well with its compact footprint and is designed to comfortably accommodate a standard-sized wheelchair. It also offers a larger weight capacity and has a good amount of internal space for those who want to take a walker into the lift with them, rather than a wheelchair.

As a wheelchair elevator, the Stiltz Trio not only allows you to live independently at home but also has some useful features such as soft start/soft stop, almost silent travel – as it is powered by a quiet self-contained motor as opposed to noisy hydraulics and convenient LED lighting programmed to come on upon entry to the lift and remain on for the entire journey.

All Stiltz residential elevators travel on self-supporting twin rails so no supporting walls are required which means any approved Stiltz installer can install the lift almost anywhere in an American home.

The Stiltz Trio wheelchair lift also has the option of being a thru car, allowing you to enter at one side and leave at the other which avoids reversing your wheelchair backwards out of the lift each time.

A wheelchair lift takes one to two days to install and all Stiltz home elevators include safety options such as top and bottom safety pans, weight, speed and out of balance sensors. There is also an optional interior seat which allows users to sit when travelling and two remote control units to call the lift when required.
