Narrow Shaft Lift Systems

Premium Grade European Standard Lifetime Support

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

Maximizing Linear Dimensions

Narrow shaft systems are engineered for "tunnel-like" spaces where the width is significantly smaller than the depth, or vice-versa. While traditional elevators require a square or wide shaft for the car and counterweight, our narrow-series uses an "In-Line" or "Lateral Counterweight" layout. This places the weight behind the car or on one side in a specialized slim-rail system. This engineering allows for a functional elevator in a shaft as narrow as 800mm, which is often found in older home renovations or between load-bearing beams.
