Climbing stairs is tough at any age, but as you get older it can become impossible. For many people who live in a multi-storey dwelling, this can mean the need to sell and move to a single-level dwelling, leaving behind a much-loved family home resulting in a reduction of living space.

Ascending stairs shouldn't be a barrier and accessibility doesn't need to involve stairwell chairs.

A home elevator is convenient, easy to install and enhances your quality of life, not to mention adds value to your home.

Available nationwide, Compact Home Lifts are now set to uplift the homes of Tasmanians.

The Lift Shed Tas has become an authorised dealer of Compact Home Lifts and Accredited Building Practitioner Troy Wright says they are changing people's lives who were once resigned to living in reduced areas of their homes.

"We find a lot of people are living on just one floor, they won't transition from one floor to the next, they just avoid using the stairs."

"A lift gives them complete access to their home again. They never think 'I'm not going upstairs to get that because it's hard work'."

The Lift Shed Tas stocks lifts which are sleek and elegant in appearance and engineered to last. The clear panels and muted grey aluminium finishes are stylish and will suit the decor of any room. Compact by name and nature, they don't take up a lot of space and require no hydraulics to run, reducing noise to virtually nothing.

The lift travels on self-supporting rails using unnoticeable wire rope hoists - this means there is no need for a dedicated lift shaft.

They can be retrofitted to any existing residence, or installed during a new build in order to future-proof your home for the years to come thus allowing you to get the most out of your property, no matter your age or fitness level.

"The Compact Home lift will fit well into new properties. They can be part of the home design from the start, with a purpose-built lift shaft or alternatively fitted nicely into the corner of any room."

With their clientele being a mix of new and existing home owners, The Lift Shed Tas can always find a position in your home for a lift.

Another great advantage is that they are so easy to install in a home.

Troy explains that the process generally takes around 3-4 days, "It's a plug-in appliance and free-standing item, so it doesn't take very long."

"There's not much work involved except to cut a hole between the floors and being accredited builders, we're fully qualified to make any required modifications to the home."

The cutting-edge designed lift comes in the classic Elegance model, as well as a wheelchair-friendly Elegance Plus model. They have fantastic standard features such as hand rails, phone and a back up battery and additional optional extras including a seat, walk thru lift car and they are all NDIS approved.
