Residential Elevator - Suggestions

benben

Have been dealing with institutional work most recently (hence, dealing with the "big" elevator companies) but now am looking for advice on a 2-3 stop residential style elevator. Any suggestions would be great.

If speed isn't an issue, and cost is, consider a limited use/limited access type elevator. I believe 3 stops would be maximum with this type. No pit needed and about 45 grand for 3 stops.

Manufacturers that I know of are Orion, and Garaventa.

Those two are not pretty..just solutions.

Good luck.

Thanks - I also discovered that Thyssen Krupp has a residential line of lifts called TK Access. http://www.tkaccess.com/residential-elevators/

most of the work using residential elevators have been in TEXAS so this site might be only good to find out who they use and find a dealor in your area.

We have used concord recently on two SF homes and they were less than 30K Canadian. approx. 42" x 60" ( wheelchair size.)

I've used Inclinator before. It is nice as far as residential elevators go. Able to fit it up with custom wood panels on the interior.

I want to go up
