Can a home lift be installed in any type of house? Yes, thanks to their flexible and innovative design, the Uplifts S2 and S3 can be installed in almost any home.

You can have one of these at your place with just a standard power outlet, a modest amount of space, and no major structural modifications needed. The Uplifts S2 and S3 are specifically engineered to operate between two floors, making them ideal for most houses and flats.

The design ensures smooth movement between floors while preserving your home’s structural integrity. Built for safety and durability, the system effectively distributes weight without overloading your home’s framework.
