Högg Liftsysteme AG, a Swiss lift manufacturer based in Lichtensteig, is drawing attention to the practical options available to older adults and people with limited mobility who want to remain in their own homes. The company is responding to a development it sees in its consultations, where more households look for ways to adapt the house instead of moving out.
For many people, the decision to leave a familiar home is triggered by a single obstacle. A staircase to the bedroom, the bathroom or the front door can make daily routines difficult long before other parts of the house become a problem. Adapting that one point of access often allows people to stay in the surroundings they know, close to neighbours and established routines.
Högg Liftsysteme has developed, installed and serviced lift systems since 1990. Its range covers stairlifts and seat lifts, platform lifts for wheelchair users, lifting platforms, ceiling lifts and elevators for private homes. The company works under an ISO 9001:2015 quality management system and is audited every year.
According to the company, the right solution depends on the situation of the person more than on the building alone. A seat lift that runs along the staircase suits people who can still move safely from a walking aid onto a seat. A platform lift carries a wheelchair user without any transfer. Where mobility is expected to decline over time, a small home elevator can be the more lasting choice, and the company's elevators can be fitted into existing houses without a pit or additional headroom.
Not every need is permanent. After an operation or during a period of recovery, a lift may only be required for a limited time. For these cases Högg rents out stairlifts, with annual servicing, any repairs and the later removal included in the monthly rent. The company also offers refurbished used units that it has previously installed and maintained itself, with the same two-year warranty that applies to new systems. Because every staircase is different, new rails are usually made even when a used lift is installed.
Each project starts with an assessment of the building and of the person who will use the lift. The planning team draws on long experience with international lift manufacturers, while the company's own engineering staff continue to develop and refine the systems it supplies. Platform lifts are available for both straight and curved staircases, and the elevator range includes cabins with hinged or sliding doors. Installation is carried out by specialised teams that fit each system to the layout of the house, which is particularly relevant in older homes with narrow or irregular staircases.
Support continues after installation. Under a service contract, Högg carries out regular maintenance, and its technicians handle repairs when they are needed. An on-call service is available 365 days a year, including weekends and public holidays, with teams for the St. Gallen, Bern and Lausanne regions.
Households weighing their options can arrange a free initial consultation with the company. Further information about the company and its lift systems is available from Högg Liftsysteme, and details on rental and refurbished units can be found on the page about hoegglift.ch stairlift rental.
