Stiltz Duo Through Floor Lifts
The Stiltz Duo Home Lift range features practical and efficient two-person lifts that increase mobility and ease everyday tasks.
A two-person through-floor lift
Our through-floor lifts provide effortless travel between floors and don’t need to be fixed to a wall to operate. It simply plugs into a standard 13-amp power socket and has a self-supporting structure, so no extra weight is placed on the home. This makes it a safe, neat, and discreet alternative to stair lifts and other home lift models.
We’ve installed our Duo Home Lifts in hundreds of homes across the UK, creating a long-term accessible living solution so our customers can make the most of every corner of their space.
Key Features
Small Footprint
Covers just 0.55m² in surface area. It’s one of the smallest footprints of any home lift on the market
Whisper Quiet
It’s powered by a quiet electric drive motor, fully contained within the lift’s roofspace, so there are no noisy hydraulics
Fast Installation
Lifts are made up of modular sections – standard installs take just one day*.
Economical to Use
Plugs into normal 13 amp power socket – like any other household appliance.
Dual Rail System
Self-supporting structure – two parallel and vertical guides bear load of the lift.
Compact Drive System
Housed at the top of the lift, out of sight – no need for external power packs
Standard Safety Features
Obstruction Sensors:
Light Curtain:
Door Interlock:
Sensors located at the top and bottom of the lift car detect any obstacles and stop the lift immediately.
An LED light curtain across the entrance detects if anything crosses the threshold while the lift moves, bringing it to a smooth stop.
The lift will only move from a stationary position when the car door is completely closed.
Battery Backup :
Weight and Balance Monitoring:
Braking Mechanism:
A built-in battery system gently lowers the lift car to the ground floor if there is a power failure.
The system prevents overloading beyond its 250 kg capacity.
An integrated internal braking system controls the speed for smooth, secure movement.
Emergency Stop Button:
An emergency stop button is positioned inside the cab for immediate user control.
The Duo through-floor lift range is designed to make your life easier, whether you’re starting to struggle with the stairs or want to begin future-proofing your home.
With a commitment to accessible living at the heart of everything we do, our two-person lifts make travel between floors effortless.
Thoughtful features like remote control operation, an obstruction sensor, and an interior telephone help to put your mind at ease as you travel. Internal downlighting illuminates your experience, and each lift comes with a series of safety features to help you stay secure while the lift is in use.
Select from three different models within our Duo range:
-
The Duo Classic
-
The Duo+
-
The Duo ThruCar
Each model is unlike any other conventional lift available as they don’t use hydraulics. Instead, they’re powered by our Stiltz dual-rail technology, which has a self-supporting structure and a maximum weight limit of 170kg. This means the lift can be installed in places where other home lifts may not fit.
Assembled in the UK, the Duo range offers unrivalled flexibility in terms of placement in the home. It requires minimal building work and disruption to install and comes in neutral colours to match any existing home décor scheme. From lounge to bedroom or hallway to study, the Duo range makes home mobility easy.

The Duo Range
The Duo+
The Stiltz Duo+ is the newest addition to the Duo Home Lift range. It’s a stylish, compact home lift upgraded with a curved exterior and designed to complement any style of décor, contemporary or traditional.
The Duo+ model carries all of the same features as the original Duo Classic, but its redesigned silhouette makes it an elegant addition to any home.
Move between floors with comfort and convenience with the Duo+ through-floor lift.
The Duo Classic
The Stiltz Duo Classic is the original Stiltz Lift and was the first of its kind in the UK. It can carry two people between one floor in less than 30 seconds.
The Duo Classic has solid opaque sides and is available in a neutral white exterior for a contemporary and versatile look.
Our original Duo Classic Home Lift is built with various safety and accessibility features as standard, like a battery back-up system, a half-height light curtain sensor, and an interior telephone. Extra add-on options are also available.
The Duo ThruCar
The Stiltz Duo ThruCar is an enhanced version of the Duo Classic lift, but it allows passengers to enter and exit from opposite sides of the lift.
The ThruCar uses Stiltz’s unique dual-rail technology, where two doors are configured on either side of the lift car, making access easier than ever.
There is no other domestic lift on the market that is capable of having a double entry or ThruCar configuration.
Along with maximum usability, it offers all the same features as the Duo Classic lift.

-
Power cable
Depending on the nature of each individual installation, the power cable may remain visible while the lift is downstairs.
-
Interior Telephone
In the very unlikely event that the lift stops while you are travelling in it, help is just a phone call away with a phone fitted as standard in all Stiltz home lifts.

Key Switch Operation
This feature allows the owner to isolate the lift if the need arises. This is commonly used when going away on holiday or when the grandchildren are around.

Top & Bottom Safety Pans
Using our obstruction-sensing covers, a Stiltz Lift can detect objects above or below the lift. Switch activation causes the car to stop immediately the lift lid or base meets an obstruction.

Operating a Stiltz Lift requires constant pressure to the controls. This allows the user to ‘drive’ the lift and feel in total control.

Weight Limit Sensors
Our Duo Lifts are limited to 170Kg, 27 stone/ 375lbs. The lift detects anything exceeding this limit and will not travel.
