Accessible Home Lift for Limited Mobility
The PVE Airlift is a compact pneumatic home lift designed to make movement between floors simpler for people with limited mobility. Its self-supporting transparent shaft requires minimal space, making it suitable for both new homes and many retrofit installations.
Using air pressure rather than conventional cables or pistons, the lift moves smoothly between floors while providing a panoramic 360-degree view through its transparent polycarbonate cabin.
The PVE Airlift range includes different cabin sizes to suit individual requirements, including configurations designed to accommodate wheelchair users and an attendant. For households looking for a compact disability access lift, the larger PVE Airlift models can provide an accessible alternative to stairs.
How does it work?
Changes in air pressure allow the vacuum lift to move up and down. The car travels in response to changes in air pressure on top of and under the cab. As the lift descends the air pressure below the cab is reduced, whilst the air pressure above is increased. The reverse occurs for the lift to ascend.
Designed for Easier Everyday Access
For those with limited mobility, travelling between levels of a home can become increasingly difficult. The PVE Airlift provides an alternative to stairs, allowing users to move comfortably between floors within a compact, self-supporting lift system.
Selected models can accommodate wheelchair users, helping improve independence and accessibility without requiring the extensive structural works associated with many conventional residential lifts.

Components
The air vacuum elevator consists of 3 major components – the exterior cylinder, the elevator car and the suction assembly.
- Exterior assembly – a smooth transparent vertical cylinder made of polycarbonate and aluminium frame that can be installed almost anywhere.
- Elevator car – runs inside the cylinder on rails or columns which form part of the same self supporting structure of the cylinder. The walls of the car are also made of transparent polycarbonate panels. The car is equipped with an anchoring system that activates on reaching the indicated floor.
- Suction Assembly – located on the top of the cylinder. Houses the turbine engines, valves, and the PVE control board.
