Kalea provides you with great alternatives to conventional stairlifts. Our vertical lift solutions fit inside most staircases and offer you an excellent opportunity to utilise an often unused space to increase the real estate value of your property. While a stairlift will fulfil the task of transporting you up and down the stairs, our vertical lifts will also add a great deal of beauty and value to your home.

Buying a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stair_lift" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stairlift</a> is a quick way to improve the accessibility of your home. Stairlifts are easy to fit in most staircases and require very little building work, which means that the investment, in terms of time and money, is relatively small. However, it may be good to know that there are other fast and easy alternatives that will offer you a higher level of comfort and increase the propery value of your home much more than a stairlift ever will. Like, for example, Kalea&#8217;s space-saving, ready-made vertical lift solutions that will integrate seamlessly with all kinds of staircases.

Kalea A4 Mini is small enough to replace a stairlift

Kalea A4 Primo

Just like stairlifts, Kalea&#8217;s lift solutions can be delivered and installed very fast. Because all vertical lifts by Kalea come in ready-made elements and have such a compact design, lift installation requires minimal building alterations. But there are also differences. For example, a vertical lift is bigger than a stairlift, both in terms of size and investment. It also takes a few more days to install. However, a vertical lift will add much more value to your home than a stairlift.
<h4>Only room for a stairlift?</h4>
If you think that you only have room for a stairlift, think again! Kalea Luna, Kalea Kosmos and Kalea A4 Mini only need a floor space of 1m2 and can be installed almost anywhere, like in the middle of your staircase.

Going up the stairs carrying cleaning equipment

Vertical lifts are easier to use for wheelchair users than stairlifts and offer great support in your everyday chores. If you invest in a vertical lift solution, you never need to carry heavy cleaning equipment, laundry baskets or furniture up and down the stairs again. In addition, using a vertical lift instead of the staircase can reduce the risk of dangerous falls.

What type of lift you should choose instead of a stairlift depends on how much space you have and what you want to use the lift for. If you are looking for a wheelchair-friendly elevator, we recommend a platform size of 900 x 1400 mm (w x d) or bigger, for platform elevators, or a lift car size of 1100 x 1400 mm (w x d), for cabin elevators. However, if you are just looking for a lift to add comfort to your home, you can go as small as you want. Kalea offers you the choice between two types of lifts, that both have their advantages:

The process of delivering and installing our vertical lifts is incredibly fast and smooth. In fact, the manufacturing time of our platform lifts can be as little as 3-4 weeks and the installation only takes 2-3 days for a 2 stop lift. For our cabin lifts, the manufacturing time is about 6-8 weeks and the installation can be done in 3-4 days.
