Retrofit Home Elevators

Premium Grade European Standard Lifetime Support

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

The Art of Residential Upgrading

Retrofitting involves installing an elevator system into a home that was never designed to have one. This requires a "Systemic Approach" that includes a self-supporting shaft structure, minimal noise impact, and an installation process that doesn't require heavy structural demolition. Our retrofit lifts are modular, meaning they are delivered as a set of precision-engineered components that can be carried through a standard front door and assembled within an existing stairwell or against an exterior wall.

Comprehensive System Overview

Engineered for Excellence, Built for Performance

Comprehensive Project Support

Suzhou Dongao Home Elevator Co., Ltd. is a leader in the retrofit market, with nearly 200 agents across China and a presence in international markets. Our experience with nearly 5,000 villa owners has taught us that the biggest concern for retrofitting is "home disruption." That is why we utilize German-imported production equipment to ensure every part fits perfectly the first time. Our 800m² R&D center specializes in modular aluminum alloy shafts that act as their own support, removing the need for the homeowner to build a concrete or brick shaft before the elevator arrives.

Retrofitting Scenarios

  • Aging-in-Place: Modifying a family home so that seniors can continue living independently without the barrier of stairs.
  • External Glass Extensions: Attaching a panoramic elevator to the outside of the building, creating a luxury entrance and saving internal floor space.
  • Stairwell Central Voids: Dropping a modular shaft through the middle of a winding staircase—often the most efficient place for a lift.
  • Floor-to-Floor Cutouts: Simply cutting a hole in the ceiling of a living room to allow a "cabin-only" lift to pass through to the floor above.
