Not sure whether you need a home lift, passenger elevator, commercial lift, hospital lift or another configuration? Answer a few questions and get a practical starting recommendation.
Tell us about the building, people and intended use.
The right lift depends on what the building is used for, how many people will use it, how many floors it serves, the required capacity and the available installation space.
A home lift may be suitable for a private villa, while an apartment or office building may require a passenger elevator designed for more frequent daily use. Hospitals, commercial buildings and other specialised properties may require different configurations.
For a private house or villa, homeowners commonly begin their search with a home lift. For apartments, offices and buildings with multiple users, a passenger elevator may be more appropriate depending on traffic, capacity and building requirements.
The lift is primarily for a private residence and the expected usage is residential and family-oriented.
Multiple occupants, visitors or employees will use the lift regularly across several floors.
The initial lift category selected online is only a planning starting point. A site inspection can reveal constraints relating to shaft dimensions, structural conditions, floor heights, pit, headroom, access and electrical requirements.
These factors can influence the final lift configuration, capacity, doors and equipment selection. This is why an on-site technical assessment is useful before placing an order.
A home lift is commonly considered for private houses and villas. The appropriate configuration depends on floors, users, available space, capacity, accessibility requirements and the actual site.
Apartment buildings generally require passenger elevator solutions designed around the number of residents, floors, stops, traffic and expected daily usage.
A home lift is generally planned around private residential use, while passenger elevators are typically selected for buildings with greater numbers of occupants and more frequent passenger movement. The final choice depends on the building and technical requirements.
An office building may require a passenger elevator selected according to building height, number of occupants, traffic, capacity and expected daily usage.
Hospitals may require specialised passenger or stretcher lift configurations depending on patient movement, stretcher size, capacity, entrances, number of floors and healthcare facility requirements.
Potentially, subject to site conditions. Existing buildings need to be assessed for shaft location, structural conditions, available pit and headroom, floor heights and access for installation.
There is no single lift type based only on the number of floors. The building use, number of users, capacity, traffic, shaft dimensions and intended application should be evaluated together.
Yes. A site assessment can help match the lift category and configuration to the actual building, available space, usage, capacity and installation conditions.
