Access between floors at home

Home Elevator | Home Lift

Plan access around the way you live today—and the access you may need tomorrow.

A home lift is an option for vertical travel within a residential building. Choosing one starts with the people using it, the available space and access at each landing.

Assess every landing Compare four calculator models Plan installation and maintenance

Start with your needs

People living across several levels

Map the rooms and journeys that matter, then assess access to each landing separately.

Wheelchair users and attendants

Provide the occupied wheelchair dimensions, combined load and attendant needs when reviewing cabin and door arrangements.

Households planning renovations

Coordinate the lift space, services and maintenance access with the designer before finishes are completed.

Architects and building managers

Review shared areas, doorways, escape routes and structure in the layout; occupant agreement does not replace technical approval.

What matters when choosing this option?

A clear access plan

Consider destinations and approaches together so the purchase addresses the actual access barrier.

Choose around daily use

State seating, attendant and wheelchair needs early; they influence the usable space required.

Coordination with the home

Review position, door direction and confirmed finishes alongside function; a project image is not a specification.

Maintenance you can plan

Agree maintenance responsibility, parts arrangements and the response process before handover.

Understand the product and its use

When bedrooms, kitchens and shared rooms occupy different floors, access shapes everyday life. A home lift may form part of an access plan, but the term alone does not establish suitability for a particular person, building or frequency of use. Start by describing the journey: where it begins, where it ends and how the user approaches the lift at each level.

For a wheelchair user, cabin size is only part of the assessment: door clearance, turning space and access to controls also matter. In a shared household, consider journey frequency and whether an attendant needs to travel. The technical assessment should connect these needs to the selected model and installation drawing, rather than simply fitting equipment into an unused corner.

What is the difference between a home elevator and a home lift?

These terms may describe different equipment in the market. Compare the passenger space, enclosure, doors, controls, rated load and permitted use of the actual models. The words “elevator” or “lift” alone do not establish standards, speed or safety.

Choose according to users, traffic, building space and project requirements. Do not assume equipment intended for goods may carry people. Review the proposed model and layout with a technical adviser and obtain a written specification and installation scope.

Home lift price estimate

Select your project details. All amounts are in Iranian Rial (IRR).

Economy models: base height 4 m; range 2–16 m.

Includes 10% VAT. This is an estimate; contact us for a final quotation.

Calculator height and stop ranges are pricing rules, not confirmation that a model can serve your building. Check permitted travel, load and dimensions in the model documents and installation design.

How to compare home-lift configurations

The four calculator labels are Rectangular full option, Economy glass cabin, Economy glass shaft and Round full option. Distinguish the passenger space from the enclosure around its route and request usable dimensions in the layout. “Full option” is not a detailed equipment list: doors, controls, finishes and included items need to be specified in the proposal.

The existing calculator presents four options for an estimate. Selecting a model there does not confirm its suitability for your building. Compare the passenger space, travel route, stops, door arrangement, power and structural requirements. Finishes and accessories should appear in the proposal for that model; a photograph cannot establish features across the range.

Technical information to obtain before ordering

Request a technical sheet and layout showing rated load, usable dimensions, door clearance, travel, headroom and foundation requirements. Equipment weight and rated passenger load are different quantities. The building load path also needs assessment. Include any attendant and wheelchair when reviewing space and load; general dimensions cannot replace the selected model’s documentation.

From site measurements to installation planning

Photograph and measure every landing, using finished-floor levels for travel measurements. Identify beams, columns, adjacent doors, services and the delivery route for components. Pit, enclosure, reinforcement and electrical work depend on the model and assessment. For an outdoor site, discuss rain, sun and moisture separately; an outdoor image does not establish that every unit is suitable outside.

Walk through the complete journey before choosing

Walk through the route with the intended user. Do room doors or landings obstruct the approach? What help is needed to enter, turn and leave? How will other residents pass during busy periods? Bring these answers, a simple plan and the installation location to the consultation. Ask the written proposal to identify building work, responsibilities, handover checks and user training.

Home lift, passenger elevator or stairlift?

A stairlift follows the staircase, so stair geometry and boarding are central to its assessment. A home lift uses a separate vertical route with access at each level. A passenger elevator has its own design and operating requirements. Names alone do not establish safety, load, approvals or cost. For public or busy buildings, review the appropriate category with the project’s technical adviser and relevant authority.

Operation, stoppages and maintenance

Training should cover the doors, controls and emergency provisions of the delivered unit. Obtain written information about power failure and helping a stranded user; do not assume a battery or emergency lowering system is fitted. During an abnormal stop, do not force doors or guards or attempt to leave the lift route. Seek assistance according to the instructions and urgency. Set maintenance around the model, use and environment.

What affects the quotation?

Compare quotations using the same model, stops, travel, dimensions, doors, site work and selected items. The page calculator provides an initial estimate; clarify delivery, building work, installation, service and exclusions separately. Obtain warranty terms and a schedule for the actual order. This makes differences in price traceable to differences in scope and commitments.

Before You Buy

Which types of buildings are suitable for a home lift?
A home lift can be assessed for a multi-level home, subject to structure, vertical route and access at every landing. Provide plans and user needs; building age or spare floor space alone cannot establish installation feasibility.
Does installing a home lift require breaking walls or structural changes?
A survey and model design must establish openings, foundations, enclosure and structural work. Obtain a written building-work scope and responsibilities before ordering; installation without alterations cannot be promised for every building.
What type of power does a home lift require?
Obtain the model’s supply and charger requirements, electrical setup and power-loss behaviour. Do not assume a battery, a number of journeys or operation while charging. Connect and prepare the equipment only as instructed.
What is the weight capacity of a home lift?
Use the selected model’s plate and technical sheet for rated load. Include users, wheelchairs, equipment and any attendant. Converting a general load figure into a passenger count is not a reliable basis for selection.
How much space is required for installing a home lift?
Assess the footprint, usable cabin space, door clearance and approach at every level separately. A general minimum floor area cannot establish suitability. Request a layout for each landing and maintenance access.
Can the cabin color or materials be customized?
Ask which colours and finishes are available for the ordered model and record them in the proposal. Cosmetic choices must not change usable space, allowable load or protection without technical assessment.
Can the home lift be relocated if we move to a new house?
Relocation requires assessment of both the equipment and the new building. Dimensions, travel and fixings may differ; reuse or a lower cost cannot be assumed in advance.
Can a home lift be installed outdoors, such as on a terrace or in a courtyard?
Outdoor use must be permitted by the model documentation. Include rain, sun, temperature, flooding and electrical equipment location in the assessment. An outdoor photograph or visible coating does not establish component protection or suitability everywhere.
What safety options are included with the home lift?
Request the proposed model’s protective-device list and operation details. Handover should explain doors, stopping controls, emergency assistance and power-loss behaviour. Do not assume every feature is fitted to every model.
Do I need a permit from the municipality or engineering authorities?
Check site requirements with the project’s technical adviser, building management and relevant authority. Use, shared areas, structural changes and escape routes may affect the decision. Private ownership or a compact device does not establish exemption from approvals.
How long is a home lift’s service life?
Usable life depends on model design, operating conditions, maintenance and component condition. A fixed lifespan cannot be promised without manufacturer evidence and technical assessment. Ask for servicing and replacement criteria before purchase.
How much does the home lift itself weigh?
Equipment weight depends on the model and ordered components. Structural assessment needs the equipment weight plus forces and load-transfer points in the technical drawings. Do not assume the building distributes these loads adequately.
Is a home lift suitable for people with knee pain?
If stairs are difficult, vertical access may be worth assessing; the device is not a treatment for knee pain. Review entry, exit, control use and assistance against the person’s needs.
How does a home lift help users with Parkinson’s disease?
For someone with Parkinson’s, assess balance, control use and assistance individually. The diagnosis alone does not establish suitability or independent operation; involve the care team and access assessor.
What role does a home lift play in nursing homes?
In a care home, use, traffic, wheelchairs and attendants affect selection. Check the model against facility use and project requirements; residential equipment is not automatically suitable for public or institutional use.
Is a home lift recommended for people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS)?
For someone with MS, mobility and assistance needs may change. Review entry, exit and controls with the care team; no symptom reduction or universal model suitability is promised.
What is the difference between a home lift and a conventional elevator?
Compare a home lift and passenger elevator by permitted use, passenger space, traffic and design requirements. Market terminology alone does not establish standards or safety level. Use model documentation and the project technical assessment.

During use

Does the lift make noise while operating?
Assess the actual model in conditions similar to the intended setting or request measurement evidence. A generic decibel figure or a silent-operation promise is not a sound basis for selection. New or abnormal noise needs technical assessment.
Will the lift work during a power outage?
Power-loss behaviour depends on the model and fitted equipment. Learn user-assistance and emergency procedures before handover. Do not assume a battery or continued travel without documentation.
Can seniors use it on their own?
Independent use depends on boarding, exit, control use and calling for help. Assess these with the user and an assessor; age alone neither rules out use nor establishes that assistance is unnecessary.
How do you clean the lift?
Follow the manual and component labels for cleaning methods and permitted products; frame, seat and electrical components may differ. Do not assume water exposure is permitted. Remove or adjust parts only within the instructions.
Can it be used with a wheelchair?
Match usable cabin dimensions, door clearance and turning space at each landing to the actual occupied wheelchair. Include combined load and any attendant; a wheelchair-accessible label alone is insufficient.
Is the lift smart or controllable remotely?
Ask about smart controls or remotes for the ordered model. Remote operation must not bypass required visibility or supervision. Available items and their use should be clear in the proposal and training.
Is it safe for children or seniors to use?
Arrange access control and user assistance according to the model. A lock or sensor does not replace necessary supervision and training. Children should not play with controls or in the travel zone.
Can it be controlled from outside the lift?
Specify landing controls and attendant use in the layout and training. Order additional controls or remotes only after confirming model compatibility.
How fast does the lift travel?
Rated speed comes from the model specification; journey time depends on travel, stops and operation. Users should not change speed or drive settings. Report slowing or abnormal movement for technical assessment.
What happens if someone gets stuck in the cabin?
Use the trained communication and assistance procedure; do not force doors or guards. Attempting to leave the cabin or allowing unauthorised access to the travel zone is dangerous. Seek appropriate emergency help if there is immediate danger.

After-sales service

What does the after-sales service include?
Obtain the written warranty for the ordered model before purchase. Confirm the start and duration, covered components and battery, exclusions, visit costs and service provider. Terms for another model or an older page do not establish coverage for your order.
How can I request support if the device breaks down?
Stop using faulty equipment and give support the model, serial number and symptoms or error code. Do not repeatedly test it with a user aboard, remove protection or attempt an improvised repair. The assessment determines the service method and timing.
How much does it cost to send a technician to my location?
Request separate diagnosis, parts, labour and transport or travel costs. Agree the estimate and repair scope before work starts. An older page amount or another device’s repair bill is not a fixed tariff for your request.
How long is the warranty and what does it cover?
Obtain the written warranty for the ordered model before purchase. Confirm the start and duration, covered components and battery, exclusions, visit costs and service provider. Terms for another model or an older page do not establish coverage for your order.
Are spare parts available inside Iran?
Provide the model, serial number and part details for compatibility assessment. Stock, price and supply time need confirmation when requested. Do not substitute lookalike parts or modify protective components without technical approval.
Do you provide a formal written warranty contract?
Obtain and review the warranty and service document before ordering, including model details and responsibilities. Ask when cover starts, what documents a service request needs and what is excluded.
Do you have active support in my city as well?
State the equipment location, model and service needed. Confirm whether a visit, parts delivery or workshop work is available and what travel costs apply. Do not assume permanent coverage everywhere or an immediate visit.
Can I extend the warranty or purchase an annual service plan?
Warranty extensions or service agreements depend on current terms for the model. Request the inspection scope, parts, costs and contract duration separately from the original warranty; an automatic extension is not assumed.
Can a home lift be upgraded or have new features added later?
Exchange or upgrade availability depends on the model, condition and current sales terms. Obtain written compatibility, cost and return or collection terms. A newer component does not authorise increased capacity or a different use.
