Low Pit Depth Lifts

Premium Grade European Standard Lifetime Support

Experience unparalleled quality and innovation in elevator technology, designed for discerning clients who demand excellence in every detail.

Short-Stroke Safety Engineering

Low pit depth technology is engineered to address the physical limitations of existing floor slabs where deep excavation is not feasible. Standard pits usually range from 1200mm to 1500mm to accommodate safety buffers and the lower cabin frame. Our low-pit engineering utilizes a specialized "toe-guard" mechanism that folds when the car approaches the lowest landing, combined with high-density polyurethane buffers that have a shorter compression stroke. To maintain safety, an electronic "safety space" is established; if a technician enters the pit, a mechanical lock is engaged to prevent the cabin from descending beyond a safe clearance. This allows the system to operate safely with a pit depth as shallow as 150mm to 300mm, effectively making it a "slab-on-grade" installation solution.

Comprehensive System Overview

Engineered for Excellence, Built for Performance

Innovative Solutions Factory

Suzhou Dongao Home Elevator Co., Ltd. has developed patented solutions for shallow pit environments, specifically for the renovation market. Operating from our 17,000sqm plant in Suzhou, we utilize Germany’s advanced lift production technology to solve one of the most common hurdles in home lift installation: underground constraints. Whether it is high groundwater levels, existing under-floor heating, or basement parking structures below, our low-pit lifts provide a viable path forward without compromising the structural integrity of the foundation. Our team of 100+ members includes R&D specialists who focus on the mechanical synchronization required to operate high-end villa lifts in these restricted vertical envelopes, ensuring the same level of luxury and safety as a standard-depth installation.

Why Choose Our System?

  • Advanced German Engineering Standards
  • 30% More Energy Efficient
  • Silent Operation Technology
  • Earthquake Resistant Design

Core Solutions for Every Need

Tailored Solutions for Premium Residences

Restricted Environment Usage

  • Renovations of historic or existing residences where the concrete slab cannot be cut or excavated.
  • Coastal properties or areas with high water tables where deep pits would lead to chronic flooding or waterproofing failure.
  • Buildings where the elevator is located over a basement, underground garage, or utility tunnel.
  • Modern minimalist interiors where a "zero-step" entry is required without a deep floor recess.
  • Retail shops or showrooms inside shopping malls where the floor thickness is strictly limited by the building developer.

Premium Materials & Craftsmanship

Where Quality Meets Artistry

Safety Material Specifications

The safety blocks are CNC-machined from high-tensile carbon steel to withstand the full static and dynamic load of the cabin. Buffers are manufactured from specialized energy-absorbing polyurethane with high aging resistance. For the folding toe-guard, we use lightweight yet rigid aluminum alloys to reduce the load on the door operator while maintaining the impact resistance required by safety codes.
