Lift Retrofit
Modernization
Compare lift categories, specifications, configurations, building requirements and shortlisted options side-by-side. Make it easier to understand what changes between different elevator options before you choose.
Select the closest application to quickly understand which specifications are normally important.
Select up to three lift categories and compare the specifications that can affect suitability, space and cost.
| Specification | Home Lift | Passenger Lift | Commercial Lift |
|---|
Price should be considered together with specifications, scope of supply, installation and after-sales support.
A lift quotation can look cheaper because important specifications, components or services are different.
Compare rated capacity, number of persons, expected traffic and building usage. A lift designed for occasional private use may not be equivalent to one designed for frequent commercial operation.
Compare shaft dimensions, pit, headroom and machine-room requirements. Final dimensions depend on the selected lift configuration and project design.
Compare installation, testing, electrical work, civil requirements, ARD, emergency communication, warranty, AMC and other exclusions before comparing prices.
Machine type, traction arrangement, VVVF drive and configuration can affect ride quality, efficiency, maintenance and installation requirements.
Door opening, cabin dimensions and door configuration can significantly affect accessibility, furniture movement, wheelchair use and available shaft space.
Warranty, AMC terms, response capability, spare parts availability and service coverage should be evaluated alongside the initial purchase price.
Use the comparison tool to understand the differences between common lift configurations before requesting a quotation.
Home lifts are generally designed around private residential requirements, available space and lower-rise applications. Passenger lifts are commonly specified for apartments, offices and buildings with greater passenger movement. The appropriate choice depends on the building, usage, shaft and applicable requirements.
Machine-room-less and machine-room configurations use different building arrangements. When comparing quotations, check the machine arrangement, shaft dimensions, headroom, access requirements and maintenance provisions rather than comparing the terminology alone.
Yes. However, quotation comparison should go beyond the final price. Check whether the quotations describe the same capacity, speed, cabin, doors, machine, controller, shaft requirements, safety provisions, installation scope, taxes, warranty and after-sales service.
Compare the specifications first. If you're unsure whether the quotations are actually equivalent, ask Volo for a technical review.
