Pitless & Shaft-free Home Elevators: Perfect for Limited Space Homes
Find the perfect home lift model for your space by selecting your city and floor levels.
What is Pitless & Shaft-free?
Pitless and shaft-free home elevators can be installed right onto a finished level; therefore, there is no need to dig out a pit underneath the floor or to build a vertical shaft specifically for your elevator.
Traditional types of elevators typically rely upon permanent structural components of your home, while pitless and shaft-free elevators are designed to have all of their essential systems located inside the elevator itself. As such, they are able to provide safe, smooth operation without requiring extensive civil construction.
In essence, a pitless and shaft-free elevator may be placed within your home without taking up additional space that would typically be occupied by the elevator's structural components.
Why is Pitless & Shaft-free Important?
Space limitations are one of the main reasons that many homeowners do not decide to have an elevator installed in their homes. The benefits provided by a pitless and shaft-free elevator completely remove this barrier.
- No excavation or foundation work is required to install a pitless and shaft-free elevator
- Minimal disruption is caused to the existing layout of your home's interior
- Quick installation times
- Ideal for small homes, or for homes that are already constructed
- Retains the structural integrity of your existing home
In short, because accessibility is now obtainable without diminishing your living space, families can add a pitless and shaft-free home elevator to their homes without having to sacrifice valuable living space.

Pitless and shaftless elevators are an ideal solution for:
- Houses With Limited Available Floor Space

When Space Is An Issue, Pitless And Shaftless Home Elevators Are A Smart Alternative.
Key Benefits Of Space-Constrained Homes
Maximum Utilisation / Placement Of Space
A pitless elevator only utilises the space that is needed for a cabin. Therefore, no pits or shafts will be guiding the elevator up the wall.
An Unlimited Number Of Locations To Install
A pitless elevator can be installed in a living/family room, a corner, at the staircase landing, or anywhere you would like.
A Cleaner Looking Interior
Because there are no large structural components guiding the elevator up and down the wall, the elevator can fit into the space available within the home and not stand out.
Minimal Ongoing Disruption To Daily Life Due To Minimal Construction Work Required
Less construction = minimal disruption (less house movements/busy days)
Easily Retrofit To A Home Not Originally Designed With An Elevator
Perfect for adding an elevator to an existing home layout.

Small Form Factor (Compact Engineering)
The system is designed to provide a very smooth operation with minimal parts; therefore, it is optimised to use the least amount of space possible.
