Homelift FAQs

All Stannah homelifts use quiet and clean hydraulic drives that have safety built-in. Fluid is pushed up through a cylinder to push the lift up and released to lower the lift.

We have lifts that can accommodate just one person and lifts that can carry up to five.

We have both compact and executive homelift models that can take a wheelchair-user or a wheelchair-user and attendant.

Our compact and Midilift executive homelifts have their own self supporting structures so do not require any supporting walls. Our Piccolo executive homelifts work differently and we can collaborate with your architect and builder to establish structural requirements.

All our lifts offer low-level access without the need for an unsightly pit on the ground floor.

No. Stannah homelifts are wonderfully quiet. In addition, because they are hydraulic lifts, they benefit from having their pump units located separately – up to 10 metres away – which further minimises any noise.

Both battery backup and manual system included to allow you to lower your lift to the ground floor.

Yes. You will need a building notice to have a homelift installed. We can arrange the notice for you or alternatively, your builder or architect will organise all the relevant permissions.

A Stannah compact homelift requires minimal structural work and we will make all of the necessary arrangements required for you. However, if you are already working with a builder or architect, we will happily collaborate with them. Our executive and butler lifts require more substantial building work and consequently, you will need to appoint a builder or architect.

Our compact homelifts require an annual service, while our executive lifts require four service visits a year.
