The Aritco HomeLift Access offers a wide choice of finishes and configurations, making it easy to adapt the lift to suit both your space and personal style. The shaft panels are supplied in Traffic White as standard (RAL 9016), with the option to select from a full RAL palette. As an option the solid panels can be substituted with glazed panels in either a clear or tinted finish for added privacy. LED downlights create a bright, safe environment, while flooring options range from practical vinyl to designer Bolon.
For the carrier, you can choose between a half-height side wall or a full-height wall with integrated mirror. A fold-down seat can also be added in selected platform sizes. For a more expressive finish, DesignWall panels are available with artwork from Scandinavian designers, turning the lift into a statement feature.

How Installation Works
The Aritco HomeLift Access is designed for straightforward installation with minimal disruption. It can be set into a 50 mm pit for a flush finish, or surface-mounted with a threshold or ramp where excavation isn’t possible. All electrics are integrated into the unit, removing the need for a separate machine room or pump box.
As a modular system, the lift is delivered with its own shaft and can usually be installed within just a few days. Entrances can be configured on one, two, or three sides, making it highly adaptable to different floorplans and layouts.

FAQs
Can I customise the finish? |
Yes. Options include Traffic White as standard or a full RAL colour palette, clear or tinted glazing, a choice of vinyl or Bolon flooring, and even DesignWall panels with Scandinavian artwork. |
Do I need a pit or machine room? |
No separate machine room is required. The Aritco HomeLift Access is fully self-contained. It can be recessed into a 50 mm pit for a flush finish, or installed directly onto the floor with a threshold or ramp where excavation is not possible, keeping building work to a minimum. |
Can a wheelchair and carer travel together? |
Yes. Larger platform sizes are available with capacities of 410 kg or 500 kg, making it possible for a wheelchair user and carer to travel together comfortably. The 500 kg options require a three-phase power supply but provide the greatest internal space and lifting capacity for shared journeys. |
How does the alarm and phone system work? |
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 be driven safely to the nearest floor. From inside, a user simply continues to press the button, and 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. |
Can it be installed outdoors? |
Yes. The HomeLift Access is available in an outdoor version with C5-rated guide rails for corrosion protection. These models require a roof and ventilation fans as standard, with a canopy to shield doors and an optional heater for cold weather. Note: These are only suitable where the lift serves an external to external environment. |
