Uplifts obstruction sensor

When it comes to choosing a homelift, safety isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. At Uplifts, every detail of our lift is designed with your well-being in mind. Whether you live with young children, older relatives, or beloved pets, you can trust that Uplifts homelifts deliver dependable, secure movement throughout your home.

But what exactly makes an Uplifts homelift one of the safest options on the market? Let’s take a closer look at the key features that are built into every ride.

Engineered for peace of mind, the key homelift safety features

Our homelifts are more than just a stylish addition to your home – they’re a thoughtfully engineered solution designed to help you move safely and independently. 

Here are five advanced safety features that come as standard with every Uplifts model:

  1. Obstruction sensors – because life happens

Whether it’s a curious pet, a misplaced toy, or a small child near the lift, accidents can happen in the blink of an eye. That’s why every Uplifts homelift is fitted with intelligent obstruction sensors. If something is detected in the lift’s path, it will stop automatically, helping to prevent injuries and damage. It’s one less thing for you to worry about.

  1. Overload detectors – because safety should never be left to guesswork

Uplifts homelifts are equipped with built-in overload sensors that monitor the weight inside the lift. If the load exceeds the safe limit of 250 kg, the lift simply won’t operate. This helps protect the system from strain while ensuring everyone inside is safe. No unexpected stops, no risk, just smart control.

  1. Independent braking system – because every journey needs a safe stop

Safety doesn’t stop once the lift starts moving. Our independent, patented braking system is there to give you added peace of mind. In the unlikely event of a fault, the system activates automatically to bring the lift to a secure stop, ensuring your lift never moves unless it’s completely safe to do so.

  1. Backup battery – because power cuts shouldn’t disrupt your say

Even in a power outage, your Uplifts homelift won’t leave you stranded. Every model includes a backup battery that ensures safe, continued operation during temporary power failures. So you can keep moving with confidence, no matter the circumstances.

  1. Integrated emergency phone – because help should always be within reach

All Uplifts homelifts come with a built-in emergency phone, so you’re never alone in an unexpected situation. Whether you’re home by yourself or just want that extra layer of reassurance, assistance is always just a call away.

Safety in every style: The Uplifts S2

The Uplifts S2 is our most compact model, making it perfect for homes where space is limited, but safety is non-negotiable. Despite its slim footprint, the S2 includes all of our leading safety features as standard, including:

  • Obstruction and overload sensors
  • Independent emergency braking
  • Backup battery and emergency phone

Whether you’re installing it for future mobility or upgrading your home for accessibility, the S2 makes no compromises on security or style. It’s ideal for individuals or couples looking for everyday convenience with discreet elegance.

Family-ready reliability: The Uplifts S3

Designed for larger households and wider access needs, the Uplifts S3 offers more space without sacrificing safety. Perfect for users with mobility aids, families with young children, or multi-generational living, the S3 provides:

  • A spacious cabin for two passengers
  • All core safety systems, enhanced for larger loads
  • Whisper-quiet operation for minimal disruption

Like the S2, the S3 also includes our full suite of smart safety technology. But it goes further with improved capacity and enhanced design flexibility, giving you total peace of mind, even with more complex mobility requirements.

A safer way to stay independent

From smooth starts to quiet stops, Uplifts homelifts are designed to enhance your lifestyle,  not just your home. We believe comfort, independence, and security should go hand in hand, especially as your mobility needs change over time.

Whether you’re futureproofing your home, supporting a loved one, or simply looking for more convenient movement between floors, our homelifts are built with your safety at the core.
