Top Quality Residential Elevator Options

Since we have been installing home elevator systems for over 30 years, we know which products are worth their weight. You can trust our elevator installations are top quality. Below is a breakdown of some of the options we offer for home-use to help you decide on what works best for you. There are three main kinds of systems you can get: roped hydraulic, cable drive and vertical platform lifts. Roped hydraulic and cable drive are both traditional elevators with different mechanisms behind them. Both are great choices, but they have minor differences. The hydraulic systems use 30 times more electricity than cable drive, but are cheaper upfront and easy to install in small locations without the need for an extensive building structure. See a full list of specs between each model below.

Vertical platform lifts are the other main option for residential clients, and they differ from traditional elevator installation in many ways. These small units usually sit alongside stairs and simple lift straight up from the floor to the top level. The lift is not like an elevator in the sense that it does not surround the person entirely. These are primarily used to lift a person in a wheelchair safely and securely. These are used quite often at outside steps to grant people accessibility and also on stair sets inside as well. We offer a collection of different platform lifts you can learn more about by reading their brochures here.
