Why Homeowners Choose the Aritco HomeLift Compact
The Aritco HomeLift Compact is designed for homes where space is at a premium, ideal for small houses, townhouses, and multi-level living where a full-sized lift isn’t practical.

Doors can be fitted on up to three sides, giving flexibility for layouts and interior design, and with minimal building work and a typical three-day installation, the Aritco HomeLift Compact offers a simple way to add long-term use and value to the home.

Flexibility is built in, with the option of single or double glass doors, and doors positioned on up to three different sides of the shaft. This allows the Aritco HomeLift Compact to adapt to smaller homes and multi-level properties.

Optional Additions
The Aritco HomeLift Compact comes with a wide range of options. Homeowners can choose between steel or glass shaft panels. Glazing is offered in clear glass (JT0) or tinted glass (JT16) for both the shaft and doors. The lift structure itself, doors and the platform console panel can be finished in Traffic White, Jet Black, Anthracite Grey as standard, or any RAL colour on request.
For the carrier, you can choose between the standard integrated mirror or for a more expressive finish, the mirror can be substituted with a DesignWall panel with artwork from Scandinavian designers, turning the lift into a statement feature. Flooring options range from practical vinyl to designer Bolon. A console Footbox option adds 80 mm depth to the platform.
Landing call stations are typically sited in the wall to the side of the lift, either flush or surface-mounted, with backlit arrival indicators for ease of use. For extra convenience, an automatic door opener can be fitted, and door handles are available in Traffic White, Jet Black, or anodic Natura finishes.
These additions make it possible to adapt the lift precisely to its setting and personal preferences.

FAQs
How small is the footprint? |
The Aritco HomeLift Compact is available in three sizes: 805 × 580 mm, 805 × 880 mm, and 805 × 1080 mm. Each has a rated load of 250 kg and requires only a small structural opening, making it one of the most space-efficient lifts available. |
Do I need a pit or machine room? |
No separate machine room is required. The lift can be set into a 50 mm pit for a flush fit, or installed directly onto the floor with a small threshold and optional ramp. This flexibility helps simplify installation in most homes. |
How long does installation take? |
The modular structure of the Aritco HomeLift Compact allows for a quick installation, typically completed in around three days. Minimal building work is required, helping to keep disruption to a minimum and making it suitable for a wide range of properties. |
What are the door options? |
Doors can be positioned on up to three sides of the lift shaft, with the choice of single or double glass doors. An automatic opener is also available as an option, providing added convenience for homeowners. |
What communications are included? |
A telephone handset is supplied as standard which can either be connected to a GSM with a SIM card, or in areas of poor signal, using a digital line via the router. As an option the phone can be replaced with an auto-dialler that can be pre-programmed with up to five numbers, automatically cycling through them if the first goes unanswered. The auto-dialler is activated by depressing the alarm button for 10 seconds. An external alarm sounder is fitted for added safety. |
What happens in a power cut? |
The lift is fitted with battery-operated emergency lowering. If mains power fails, the system ensures the platform can descend safely to the nearest floor. From inside, a user simply continues to press the button, and the lift will descend to the next floor. With external assistance, the lift can be driven up or down to the nearest floor. On arrival, the lift goes out of service until the power is restored. A Battery Guard protects charge levels so that power is always available when needed, giving peace of mind during unexpected outages. |
