Features & Benefits

  • Small Footprint:  The Duo Alta footprint = 8.5 square feet. The larger Trio Alta footprint =  15.5 square feet and can accommodate a full-sized wheelchair.
  • Full Safety Features:  Far safer than stair lifts. The lift will not operate when the door is open. Proximity sensors stop the lift if there is something in the path of travel. A battery backup lowers the lift in the event of a power outage. The floor lid is safe to stand on. And a key lock will prevent unauthorized use.
  • Quiet Operation: Powered by a self-contained, electric drive motor that is hidden away in the lift car roofspace. No noisy oil hydraulics or vacuum systems.
  • Fast Installation:  Standard installation can take as little as one day, once the ceiling aperture (if needed) has been created by one of our licensed technicians.
  • Low Power Consumption:  Plugs into a single, standard electrical outlet — just like any other appliance — and uses very little power when running.
  • No Supporting Walls Required:  Stiltz home elevators are self-supported by a structure of two parallel, vertical rails — or “stilts” — that bear the entire load of the elevator. No additional burden is placed on the structure of a home.
  • Self-Contained Drive System:  Unique, self-contained drive system is cleverly concealed in a single space within the roof area of the lift car. There’s no need for a machine room or separate oil pump.
  • Wide Entry:  Wheelchair users will find the wide entry and exit points of the Trio Alta particularly useful when maneuvering their chair in confined spaces.
  • Easy Access:  For safety and comfort, the Trio Alta comes with a gently-angled ramp to enable more convenient entry for wheelchair users, and those unable to manage steps.
