Premium sister brand of Stiltz built at the same UK factory, pairing the proven plug-in through-floor cabin technology with upgraded styling and finishes. Quote-only pricing and just two models.
Lifton Home Lifts: Company Overview
Lifton is the premium home lift brand of the company behind Stiltz, designed and built at the same Kingswinford headquarters in the West Midlands and launched in 2016. The range uses the same proven self-supporting through-floor cabin technology – no hydraulics, no shaft, no machine room, powered from a standard 13-amp socket – finished to a higher specification.
Lifton makes home lifts only: there are two models, the LiftonDUO and the LiftonTRIO. For how the two brands differ in practice, see our Stiltz vs Lifton comparison.
Lifton Product Range (2026)
- LiftonDUO – Compact cabin lift for one to two people, designed to future-proof a home with a minimal footprint.
- LiftonTRIO – Larger three-person cabin that accommodates a full-sized wheelchair, with level entry and an automatic door option.
Lifton 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.
Lifton publishes a starting price of £18,000 plus VAT, including standard site preparation and installation, but every lift is priced after a free home survey. Expect roughly £16,000 to £25,000 fully installed depending on the model, finishes and any preparatory building work. That positions Lifton slightly above the equivalent Stiltz models in exchange for the premium finish.

Independent Reviews of Lifton
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.
Lifton has no independent review profile of its own that we could find. Its sister brand Stiltz, built at the same Kingswinford factory, does: read the Stiltz reviews on Trustpilot. Those reviews cover a different brand and a different price point, so treat them as background on the manufacturer rather than as reviews of a Lifton.
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 Lifton Home Lifts
Lifton is the right choice if you want Stiltz engineering but a more design-led cabin – and are happy to pay for it. For most buyers the standard Stiltz range offers better value, so get quotes for both brands and compare the finish in person.
