Aritco HomeLift Compact

How Aritco lifts have made a difference

Creating independence through three decades of innovation – see how Aritco transforms homes and lives.

For 30 years and counting, Aritco has been helping people move more freely in their homes and communities. While mobility challenges can arise from various circumstances – injury, illness, aging, or unexpected life events – the impact on daily living remains profound. Having the right accessibility solution is not just about convenience; it’s about freedom, independence, and the ability to live fully and comfortably. Aritco home and public elevators have made a significant impact in people’s lives by providing solutions that give families and communities the mobility they need to thrive. Here are some inspiring stories that show how Aritco lifts are helping to transform lives.

Rising from the Ashes: Sandra's Story

After losing everything in a devastating fire, Sandra Bhatti faced the daunting task of rebuilding not just a house, but a home that would accommodate her needs as someone with an above-knee amputation. When Aritco learned of her story through a Swedish newspaper, they offered Sandra a HomeLift Access solution. Today, she and her pug Buster enjoy complete freedom of movement between floors.

The lift didn’t just provide physical mobility; it gave Sandra emotional freedom, enabling her to embrace a new beginning. Even Buster has embraced the change, preferring the lift to stairs.

Creating Safe Spaces: Målilla School's Smart Solution

In Målilla, Sweden, the local elementary school needed a solution that would ensure accessibility and safety for its 150 students, aged six to twelve. The Aritco PublicLift Access, feature advanced SmartSafety technology, and child-friendly design.

The minimal structural modifications required for installation meant the school could stay within its budget and install the lift with minimal disturbance. The lift has become a key feature that supports the active and dynamic life of the school community.

A Family United: The Arpa's Story

When young Mateo was diagnosed with a neuromuscular disease, his family faced a crucial decision about their living situation. The Aritco HomeLift Compact proved to be the perfect solution, allowing a level of freedom and independence they worried would never be possible for their son. Installed in just five days, its elegant design so seamlessly integrates with their home that visitors often mistake it for a display case.

The ripple effects of the installation surprised even the family. What started as a solution for Mateo has become a multi-generational asset, helping grandparents visit more easily and making everyday tasks like moving laundry between floors effortless. “We are a humble family who managed to have design and quality at a fairly affordable price,” says Sheila, Mateo’s mother.

Award-Winning Accessibility

A spinal cord injury in 2011 left a Hampshire homeowner reliant on a wheelchair, forcing her to spend eight years confined to the ground floor of her Edwardian home. When it came time to build a new, more accessible home, she didn’t settle for a single-story alternative. Instead, she designed Claywood House — a contemporary two-story masterpiece built from the ground up with accessibility at its core.

The homeowner discovered the Aritco HomeLift at the Grand Designs exhibition and chose it for its clean lines and warm lighting that complemented the home’s thoughtful design. “It feels like a natural part of the design of the house — it’s not hidden away,” she explains. Since then, the project has won House of the Year 2022 by the British Homes Awards and been shortlisted for the RIBA Awards 2023, inspiring neighbours and architects alike with its elegant approach to accessible living.
