The Uplifts range is designed to fit all needs and can fit in almost any home. The range comes in two sizes: the S2, which can accommodate one or two people standing, and the S3, still compact yet perfect for two or three people, or a wheelchair. Uplifts offers versatility and elegance, with light-filled cabins and discreet rail guides striking a balance between aesthetics and functionality.
Key features of the Uplifts range include:
Design: The uplifts range of homelifts have an innovative shaft-less design, meaning minimal modifications to your home, facilitating quick installation and making them much less expensive than traditional shaft-based lift solutions.
Compact: Space-saving designs suitable for a variety of home layouts allowing the homelifts to fit in almost any home.
Energy-efficient: Plugs into a standard power socket, with low power consumption no different to other common home appliances.
Quiet: The drive system sits hidden in the top of the lift, so there is no need for a machine room or the installation of a hydraulic pump unit nearby, and drives you smoothly and quietly between floors.
Customisable: Available with a set of accessories such as integrated seats, handrails, shelves, and even a bench, and a variety of finishes to complement any interior décor.
Easy access: A half-height door creates a light and open feel, and a non-slip, low gradient, integrated ramp allows easy access whether you are stepping in, or rolling in with a wheelchair.
Lighting: Warm ambient lighting diffuses through the “lampshade” at the top of the cabin, creating a homely feel whilst making the homelift safe and easy to use at any time.
Packed with safety features: From emergency communication systems, safety edges, overload detectors and an independent braking system.
The launch of Uplifts marks a significant milestone in home mobility solutions, addressing the needs of an ageing global population and the increased focus on accessible living. Uplifts is poised to become a leader in the growing homelift market, offering products that combine functionality with aesthetic appeal.
“As a sixth-generation member of a family with a rich history in the lift industry, I’m incredibly proud to lead this new venture,” added Sam Stannah. “Uplifts embodies our heritage of quality and innovation while looking firmly to the future of home mobility solutions.”
