Home Elevator TYPES
Not all elevators are the same. From whisper-quiet hydraulic to energy-efficient traction, you integrate the right elevator type for your personal and home needs.
Traction
Quiet, smooth, and reliable, our Luxury Lift LLT Traction Elevator uses the same technology as 10 – 50-story commercial buildings that have been in use for over 100 years. We have developed this technology for a home elevator application without the need for a machine room.
By cutting out the machine room, we save valuable living space while adding to your home’s overall value.
Hydraulic
The Luxury Lift LLH hydraulic elevator has an industry-leading 950-pound capacity, our largest size and payload ever.
Luxury Lift LLH gives the lifting capacity normally available only with commercial elevators. Complement the Luxury Lift LLH with your personal choice of cab appointments and enjoy commercial elevator features at residential elevator prices.
Pitless
Our newest home elevator option, The Level, doesn’t require cutting existing concrete for a pit. It’s designed to sit level with the floor. The only thing more amazing than how seamlessly it works with your home is that we’re one of few companies to offer such a design.
The Level is perfect for remodeled homes, passes rigorous safety standards and is tested to support 4,750 pounds—about the size of an average Ford F-150.
