Small Footprint Home 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.

Minimalist Shaft Engineering

Small footprint home lifts are engineered to maximize the ratio between the internal cabin area and the external shaft dimensions. This is achieved by utilizing side-mounted counterweights or counterweight-less traction systems, which reduce the lateral space required for guide rails. The mechanical design incorporates a cantilevered car frame (L-frame) that supports the cabin from a single side, allowing the other three sides to be positioned closer to the hoistway walls. The drive unit is a miniaturized gearless traction motor that fits within the overhead clearance, eliminating the need for a separate machine room. This engineering approach allows for a fully functional elevator to be installed in a space as small as 1000mm x 1000mm, providing vertical mobility in environments where a standard elevator installation would be physically impossible due to structural constraints.

Core Solutions for Every Need

Tailored Solutions for Premium Residences

Restricted Space Integration

  • Existing urban townhouses where the elevator must be retrofitted into a closet space or a stairwell void.
  • Modern duplex apartments requiring a vertical connection without occupying significant living room square footage.
  • Heritage buildings where structural alterations are limited and the lift must occupy the smallest possible footprint.
  • Luxury yachts or specialized mobile structures where weight and space distribution are critical engineering factors.
  • Minimalist interior designs that prioritize open floor plans and require the lift to be a subtle, non-intrusive feature.

Premium Materials & Craftsmanship

Where Quality Meets Artistry

Precision Material Selection

To maintain structural rigidity in a small frame, we use high-tensile cold-rolled steel for the car frame and guide rail brackets. The cabin walls are constructed from lightweight aluminum alloys or 1.2mm brushed 304 stainless steel to reduce the total suspended mass. For glass versions, we utilize 10mm laminated safety glass that provides structural integrity without the need for thick, space-consuming frames. The traction ropes are specialized high-flexibility steel cables designed for small-radius sheaves.
