Lifta GmbH

Lifta GmbH is a German provider of home mobility solutions, best known for stairlifts, wheelchair lifts (both vertical and platform lifts) and home lifts. It is the most prominent operating company within the Liftstar Group, whose parent is Liftstar Holding GmbH, based in Cologne. The company markets itself as a first choice for in-home mobility, promising greater freedom, safety and quality of life for people with limited mobility. Lifta's origins go back to 1977, when Wolfgang Seick founded Lifta Lift und Antrieb GmbH as a sister company to the Cologne family business L. Hopmann Maschinenfabrik GmbH, which had been established in 1883 and originally produced sack hoists and elevators. The idea for a stairlift reportedly came from Seick's own family experience in the late 1960s, when his mother-in-law could no longer manage the stairs at home and a stairlift was installed. Lifta went on to establish the stairlift on the German market. Today Lifta offers individually manufactured lifts tailored to the customer's home and needs, covering stairlifts, wheelchair lifts and home lifts. The company emphasizes premium quality and service, including a customer service line reachable 365 days a year and 24 hours a day. Its website highlights TÜV-tested customer satisfaction, Trusted Shops ratings and a Focus Money price-winner award for stairlifts. Lifta operates as part of a group that includes several Cologne-based companies such as Liftstar GmbH, Liftstar Marketing GmbH, Lifton GmbH, myHomelift GmbH, Der Treppenlift GmbH and sani-trans GmbH, as well as international entities Lifta GmbH in Vienna and Lifta Stairlifts SA (Pty.) Ltd. in Cape Town. The group structure allows Lifta to serve customers in Germany, Austria and South Africa.

Lifta GmbH traces its roots to the Cologne family business L. Hopmann Maschinenfabrik GmbH, founded in 1883, which originally manufactured sack hoists and elevators. In the late 1960s, the founder's mother-in-law could no longer manage the stairs at home, and a stairlift was installed as a solution. This experience inspired Wolfgang Seick to found Lifta Lift und Antrieb GmbH in 1977 as a sister company to L. Hopmann Maschinenfabrik GmbH. The new company established the stairlift on the German market. Over the following decades, Lifta expanded its product range from stairlifts to include wheelchair lifts (both vertical and platform lifts) and home lifts. It became the best-known company within the Liftstar Group, whose parent company, Liftstar Holding GmbH, is based in Cologne. The group grew to include several affiliated companies in Cologne, such as Liftstar GmbH, Liftstar Marketing GmbH, Lifton GmbH, myHomelift GmbH, Der Treppenlift GmbH and sani-trans GmbH, as well as international subsidiaries Lifta GmbH in Vienna and Lifta Stairlifts SA (Pty.) Ltd. in Cape Town. Today Lifta continues to operate as a provider of individually manufactured home mobility solutions, emphasizing premium quality, TÜV-tested customer satisfaction and 24/7 customer service.
