Some modern home lifts do not need a built concrete shaft; they come with their own self-supporting structure. Others use air pressure instead of ropes. They can suit compact homes, but they are not right for every house. Here is what to consider.
Self-supporting and shaftless designs
These lifts come with their own frame, so you may not need a built shaft. They can be installed in existing homes with less civil work, subject to floor openings and structure.
Vacuum or pneumatic lifts
These move a cabin using air pressure. They are compact and design-led, usually for small capacity and limited travel.
Things to check
- Maximum travel and number of stops.
- Capacity and wheelchair suitability.
- Floor openings and structural approval.
- Service availability and parts.
- Safety and rescue on power failure.
