What this changes.
We compare structure, electrical requirements, noise, servicing and regional acceptance for each candidate product.
Our reading of the reference above. Whether a product or system suits your home is decided at your site assessment.
The approaches behind the conversation.
Each reference below has its own mechanism, scope and official source, so we never treat them as interchangeable.
The tailored traditional cab
Residential Elevators’ Luxury Lift traction platform and Savaria Eclipse are our two machine-roomless references. Our specialist compares drive systems, hoistway dimensions and finish options with you.
- Reserve shaft, pit and overhead dimensions early
- Coordinate door and gate clearances
- Confirm emergency lowering, communications and service access
Official reference: Residential Elevators · Luxury Lift traction
The compact home connection
We treat Stiltz’s through-floor Duo Alta and larger Trio Alta as different retrofit briefs. Floor openings, approach space and actual mobility-device fit need a site-specific review.
- Map the route through both floors
- Coordinate structural work and fire requirements
- Test user and mobility-device dimensions against the exact model
Official reference: Stiltz USA · Duo Alta and Trio Alta
The panoramic centerpiece
Vuelift combines a clear cab with an integrated hoistway, creating a distinct architectural option. The room, landings and chosen model determine whether it belongs in the plan.
- Compare glass and acrylic model choices
- Review pit, overhead and landing access
- Coordinate the frame color and surrounding architecture
