If you’ve been searching for a company that can install a vertical home lift in Ireland, you’ve come to the right place. At Irish Stairlifts, we’ve spent over 19 years helping hundreds of customers across Ireland regain independence and comfort in their own homes. From compact enclosed lifts to luxury through-floor systems, our team can help you find a lift that perfectly suits your mobility needs and living space.
What Is a Vertical Home Lift?
A vertical lift is a motorised platform or cabin that travels directly between floors, providing easy and barrier-free movement for users who use wheelchairs or have limited mobility. Unlike stairlifts, which follow a track along the stairs, vertical lifts move straight up and down—making them ideal for homes, offices, and public buildings where space or design prevents stairlift installation.
Vertical lifts can be:
-
Through-floor lifts: Installed between two floors by cutting a small section of the floor, allowing the lift to travel vertically.
-
Enclosed cabin lifts: Lifts with a surrounding shaft or enclosure for added safety, such as the Wessex VE model.
-
Open platform lifts: Ideal for users who prefer an unobtrusive design without a full cabin.
Why Choose a Vertical Lift?
Choosing a home lift can significantly enhance independence and improve accessibility. Whether for residential or commercial use, a well-installed lift allows:
-
Effortless travel between floors for wheelchair users
-
Safe transport for carers and family members
-
Smooth, quiet, and reliable operation
-
Modern design integration without major structural alterations
Our vertical lifts are built with safety, flexibility, and independence in mind, combining compact design with durability and advanced safety systems.
