PROFILE OF A LEADING SOUTH AFRICAN COMPANY IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT
European design and style meets practical design with the unique range of Stiltz Home Lifts , available exclusively from Lifta SA .
Lifta SA is the exclusive distributor of the Stiltz Home Lift in Southern Africa . Stiltz is an award winning , UK-based lift company that offers a wide variety of innovative and unique Home Lifts specifically for use in double-storey homes .
Stiltz started selling lifts in the UK in 2010 and since then has grown rapidly to become a key player in the Home Lift industry with markets in the USA , Germany , Australia , China , the Middle East and of course South Africa .
How They Work Stiltz Home Lifts are a stylish and modern alternative to stairlifts or commercial , hydraulic lifts . They operate by way of a steel roped drum braked gear motor drive system , which is compact and neatly self-contained within the roof space of the lift car itself . The lift ’ s unique dual rail system creates a completely self-supporting structure so the lift doesn ’ t add any burden on a home thanks to this innovative technology .
Two Options Lifta SA offers two varieties of Home Lift – the Duo and Trio Home Lift . The Duo , capable of taking two passengers between floors , has the smallest footprint on the residential market – just 0.8m 2 . The wheelchair-friendly Trio ’ s footprint , capable of carrying an additional person as well , is only 1.3m 2 .
Unique benefits of Home Lifts include :
• Home Lifts operate by way of a normal residential 220V plug – no three-phase power required ;
• No lift shaft is required – this will result in substantial construction cost saving and far less construction work therefore less mess , dust and discomfort to clients ;
• No need for pit room and motor room ;
• The lifts can be installed retrospectively – ie after the house has been built and can be installed within 2 days . This allows the client the opportunity to find the best possible location for their lift to ensure that it complements the home ’ s look and feel ;
• Alternatively , the lift can be part of the plans of a new build ;
• The Home Lifts do not make use of noisy hydraulics or any other external mechanisms and due to its unique drive system , the lifts are very quiet and makes less noise than most stairlifts . In operation the lifts have an audible noise level of less than 48db which is comparable to the sound of light rainfall .
Installation and Operation Home Lifts can be installed almost anywhere in the home thanks to its compact footprint , drive mechanism and dual rail technology . Home Lifts have an unrivalled ability to fit into spaces other Home Lifts cannot with minimal building work and disruption .
