We have a single rounded passenger elevator with a diameter of 750mm / 30inches. This is the Air Vacuum Home Lift 30 able to support 159/350lbs weight.

Council approval is not required for an interior home elevator installation if there are no structural changes. However, for an exterior home elevator, a notification from the council will be required and in some other states, a building permit may be required.

We recommend to check with your local council as requirements will vary.

Yes, we do have 5 key stages from the start of enquiry to lift installation

Stage 1 – We can provide estimate pricing for a lift based of plans or photos. If not available we can proceed to Stage 2.

Stage 2 – Site visit and survey at a time that suits you for us to then ascertain exact requirements and pricing.

Stage 3 – Upon confirmation of the proposal we can proceed with design stage. Detailed drawings will be supplied with revisions made until final design is ready. Once approved and payment stage is received, then lift manufacture will commence.

Stage 4 – Delivery & Installation, approximately 1 month prior the arrival of the lift, we will be in touch to schedule a pre site check and start date. Once the site is confirmed ready, we can then deliver and begin the installation of the lift. Allow between 1-2 weeks.

Stage 5 – Completion, once installation is completed we will arrange a handover meeting to provide training on how to use the lift, safety measures, manuals and servicing requirements.

Stage 6 – You are now ready to use your new lift!

Absolutely, most of our lift range are able to travel up to 5-6 landings with rate load up to 250-500kg

Yes, As per Australian AS1735 standards and NCC E3.6 all lifts ( home lifts, commercial lift, wheelchair lifts and platform lifts) except Stairway lifts require an active emergency phone that is able to be answered by a help centre 24/7. We do provide this service as well and can be included in our lift packages.

Generally there are two key types of doors:

Swing Doors – These can be manual open or automatic opening to suit your preference.

Automatic Sliding Doors – The same as an elevator. Simply slide open and self close.

Lifts may be GST exempt, if installation is due to a medical or limited mobility reason. A doctors letter would be required.
