Design-led Swedish platform lifts with more than 48,000 installations worldwide, extensive customisation and genuine multi-floor capability. Premium pricing, with sales and installation through UK partners rather than a direct network.
Aritco Home Lifts: Company Overview
Aritco is a Swedish lift manufacturer founded in 1995 and headquartered in Järfälla, near Stockholm. It specialises in screw-driven platform lifts for homes and public buildings and has installed more than 48,000 lifts worldwide. In the UK, Aritco lifts are sold and installed through a network of approved partners, with UK support based in Northampton.
Aritco competes directly with Cibes at the premium, design-led end of the market, where the lift is chosen as a piece of interior design as much as a mobility aid.
Aritco Product Range (2026)
- Aritco HomeLift – The flagship residential platform lift, customisable with DesignWall art panels, ambient lighting and app control. Can serve multiple floors.
- Aritco HomeLift Compact – A smaller-footprint version for tighter spaces.
- Aritco HomeLift Access – The wheelchair-focused model with easy level entry and generous platform sizes.
Aritco Home Lift Prices in 2026
How this compares: see installed 2026 price bands for all nine UK brands side by side in our home lift price guide, or estimate your own installed cost.
Aritco does not publish a UK price list. Its UK site gives one guide figure, around £22,000 for a two-floor lift of its smallest model in standard fitting, written as “£22.000” on one page and “€22.000” on another. Expect roughly £19,000 to £40,000+ fully installed depending on the model, the number of floors served and the level of customisation – firmly at the premium end of the UK market alongside Cibes.

Independent Reviews of Aritco
UK Homelifts does not score brands. We publish what each manufacturer documents and what its lifts sell for, and point you at independent reviews for the rest.
We could not find an independent UK review profile for Aritco itself. Aritco sells through approved partners rather than direct, so the customer experience belongs to whichever partner quotes you – ask for that company name and search for its reviews specifically, not the manufacturer’s.
Read them with two things in mind. Manufacturer review profiles mostly capture the sales and installation experience – the survey, the fitting crew, the response when something needs adjusting – rather than how the lift behaves in year five. And a score means very little without the number of reviews behind it, which can range from a handful to several thousand across the brands on this site.
For the things reviews cannot tell you, see our price tracker, which records every published UK home lift price with its source, and our specification research across 27 models.
Our Verdict on Aritco Home Lifts
Aritco is one of the two stand-out choices – with Cibes – for design-conscious buyers who want a home lift that serves multiple floors and looks like a feature, not an appliance. Budget buyers and those wanting a direct manufacturer service network are better served by Stiltz or Stannah.
