Home lift

Can the issue of many stairs and the lack of an elevator in old buildings, multi-story homes, and older villas be solved?  
Yes, nowadays this problem is addressed using home elevators, also known as home lifts. These elevators are a specific type designed for vertical transportation of people. Home elevators come in different capacities and are used for short distances.

HOME LIFT or Home Elevators

These are a particular type of elevator, widely used in apartments and places where elevators are not installed, or the structure is unconventional. These elevators typically have a capacity for 2 to 6 people. Some home lift systems do not require additional space for a machine room, overhead, or pit, making them very suitable for home and private use. They can be built with or without a cabin, and the cabin can be made of materials like glass, steel, or PVC.

Features of Home Elevators

Some of the features of home elevators, or home lifts, include:

1. Low Noise: Home elevators operate with minimal noise and very smooth movement, ensuring a comfortable experience. Noise can affect the perceived quality and safety of the elevator for users.
  
2. Minimal Space for Installation: Home elevators require minimal space for installation. For some home lift systems, the required space is about 1 meter (100 cm). The system operates using hydraulic jacks that are housed within the elevator space, eliminating the need for a pit or machine room, as the motor room is located above the shaft. They can be quickly installed in places such as stairwells, hallways, duplex homes, or small spaces in buildings with limited height. It's worth noting that installing home elevators may alter the building's appearance, requiring approval from the city's architecture department.
  
3. Energy Efficiency: Home elevators consume less electricity compared to regular elevators. In fact, they operate without power when descending, saving up to 40% on energy consumption. Can they run on single-phase city electricity? Yes, in some systems, it is possible. However, in hydraulic and traction types, three-phase power is required according to Iranian standards.

4. High Safety Against Falls: Home elevators are equipped with an anti-fall brake system (parachute). Their importance lies in providing a backup system for safe descent and passenger exit in case of a power outage, ensuring near-zero fall risk.

5. Low Wear and Long Lifespan: Given the high cost of elevator components today, regular maintenance is the best way to ensure a long lifespan for the elevator. Regular servicing addresses potential issues and ensures optimal performance. Why are home elevators easy to maintain? The main problems in these elevators involve the jacks and oil, which can be minimized with high-quality parts and resolved easily.

6. Beautiful Appearance and Eye-Catching Design: In home elevators, luxurious and aesthetically pleasing designs for the elevator space are highly important, both for the building's exterior and interior. The owner can choose and install the elevator cabin according to their taste and home decor. Glass cabins, which offer a view of the floors and the home, are often the most popular choice.

Types of Home Elevators

Home lift systems come in various types. These systems can be offered in hydraulic (jack), traction, and pneumatic versions. Depending on the building type, elevator shaft conditions, and the possibility of creating a machine room or pit, a suitable home lift system can be provided for each building.

Home elevators are mainly available in three types: hydraulic (jack), pneumatic, and traction. The choice of elevator depends on factors such as the cabin material, whether the system is hydraulic or traction, the elevator type, dimensions, cabin capacity, motor type and power, installation location, number of floors, and materials used, all of which affect the cost.
