Stylish and innovative design: taking it to the top with the Lifton home elevator

Raúl Krauthausen recently discovered how much an elevator can make your life easier and add accessibility to your home. These days, the disability rights activist uses the LiftonTRIO home elevator from Lifton GmbH to navigate his apartment in Berlin. Reason enough for REHACARE.com to ask the Liftstar Group what makes the Lifton home elevator so different from other systems.

Ms. Wiedemann, who is the target audience for the Lifton home elevator?

Eva Wiedemann: Our customers’ primary goal is to live an independent and self-determined life in the privacy of their own home for as long as possible. Lifton's residential elevators not only offer genuine everyday support, but they also improve the user’s quality of life in his/her own home.

But that’s not all. While our elevators are designed with wheelchair users in mind, they increase the property value in the process.

Lifton Home Elevators are an ideal solution for all age groups. No matter what your age is, the lifts give people with disabilities or those living in special residence situations more personal freedom.

What are the benefits of a home elevator?

Wiedemann: Both models are space-saving solutions thanks to their compact footprint. The LiftonDUO home elevator covers a footprint of only 0.8 square meters (just under 9 square feet) and accommodates two passengers. Our larger model – the LiftonTRIO – includes an angled ramp and has room for three passengers or one standard-sized wheelchair thanks to a floor space of approximately 1.3 square meters (about 14 square feet). The installation is easy with minimal disruption. Since the Lifton Home Elevator features a dual rail system plus a cabin and only involves a simple cutout in the ceiling, installation takes less than two days. A lift shaft or TÜV certification is not required. Users just plug into a standard domestic wall socket, and it is ready to go. This modern construction and design makes it possible to integrate the Home Elevator into nearly any home.

The elevators also have customizable finishes to blend in perfectly with any decor.

What user feedback do you get?

Wiedemann: Nothing is more important for people than self-determination. However, when mobility deteriorates, many need third-party support. Suddenly, your home might reveal obstacles you never knew existed. But it doesn’t necessarily mean you need to leave your residence – products by Liftstar take a move off the table.

Last week I visited a customer who had a LiftonTRIO Home Elevator installed. She is unable to walk and in a wheelchair after a car accident. For weeks, she had not been in the upper level of her home. After we installed the Lifton, she was over the moon because this is now an option again. We often witness these types of emotional moments with our customers.

Do you offer wheelchair solutions for outdoor applications?

Wiedemann: This is where the sani-trans models from Liftstar come in. We offer platform lifts and wheelchair hoist solutions that help users overcome nearly every obstacle in an outdoor environment.

How can companies team up with Liftstar?

Wiedemann: We give our partners access to innovative marketing and sales solutions that are referral based. That means, our partner refers a customer to us who is interested in a Lifton Home Elevator, and we take care of the rest. We schedule the on-site customer appointment with our expert consultants.

We offer a commission structure for placed orders that is exciting for both the company and the staff members.

Our online affiliate partner program is another unique option. We provide exciting tools such as banners, iFrames or solutions tailored to the needs of companies.
