A
home elevator is the up-and-coming convenience. As people age they risk
losing their mobility.
Homeowners who want to future-proof their homes are installing an elevator
for their convenience now, and the necessity, later. They are planning
ahead for accidents or aging or the day they sell their homes.
Elevators can be customized to require little space and fit into the
décor of a home. Elevators also serve as dumbwaiters for moving
laundry, groceries, suitcases and furniture.
The typical two stop elevator (or up to six stops) comes with a power
operated gate, stained wood paneling, stainless steel fixtures, oversized
cab, recessed lights and phone box. It is equipped with safety devices
such as a telephone in the cab, battery back-up, door and gate interlocks,
slack cable device to engage the rails, and terminal stopping device.
These residential elevators installed in a hoist way can be customized
to fit the requirements of the site. We know the different features
offered by our manufacturers in order to design the best fit elevator.
Even though stairs are a concern, people can stay in the home they love. A free-standing elevator can be installed between two levels. No pit or shaft is needed. The elevator can be stored on one floor creating space on the other floor. It operates on a 110 volt circuit.
Also called “The Vanishing Elevator,” the small cab (30 x 46) requires little space and can transport a wheelchair. A larger cab (32 x 54) is available.
This elevator is ideally suited to an existing residence as modest construction is needed for installation.
