For a lot of families, there comes a day when the staircase stops being a staircase and starts being a wall — cutting off the bedroom, the laundry, or a favorite chair upstairs. The good news? You don’t have to sell the home you love to get the whole house back. You just have to take the stairs out of the equation.

Why have a stairlift when you can have a real elevator?

That’s the question the Stiltz Home Elevator answers beautifully. The Duo Alta carries two people between floors in under 30 seconds — smoothly, quietly, and with room to spare for a walker, the groceries, or the family dog. Need more space? The Trio Alta seats three and is fully wheelchair-accessible, with a gently-angled ramp and an automatic door for easy roll-on, roll-off access. A stairlift moves one person up a staircase; a Stiltz moves your whole life between floors.

Built to fit your home — not the other way around

This is where Stiltz really shines. The Duo Alta has one of the smallest footprints of any home elevator made — under 8.5 square feet — and it can be placed almost anywhere, at nearly any angle. Its clever dual-rail guide system is self-supporting, so it doesn’t need load-bearing walls or a separate shaft to lean on. Because the lift ships in modular sections that fit through standard doorways, a typical retrofit can be installed in as little as a day. One morning of stairs — one afternoon of freedom.

Quiet, efficient, and refreshingly simple

There are no noisy hydraulics, no vacuum pump, and no dedicated machine room. The Stiltz runs on a quiet, self-contained electric drive tucked neatly at the top of the lift, and it simply plugs into a standard dedicated outlet. It sips power — about as much as a dishwasher — so it’s gentle on your home and your utility bill. It just works, day in and day out.

The real reason it matters

Nearly 9 in 10 adults over 65 say they want to stay in their own home as they age (AARP), yet 1 in 4 older adults fall every year — and the staircase is one of the most common places it happens (CDC). A Stiltz home elevator removes that daily risk and hands back the independence that stairs quietly take away. For our neighbors across Wichita and the surrounding area, it’s one of the smartest ways to make a beloved two-story home work for the next chapter of life. (Learn more on our Wichita service page.)
