How Much Space is Needed For the Home Lift?
Even with limited space, it’s still possible to benefit from a home elevator. The SWIFT XXS is compact enough to fit in an area the size of an airing cupboard—our smallest model, perfect for tight residential spaces. We also offer larger lifts for homes, including accessible options with wheelchair access.
Both SWIFT Pro and SWIFT Lite come in six different sizes, tailored to modern needs while optimizing space. Each model is designed to offer excellent performance within minimal spatial footprints.
Minimum elevator space requirements for home lift installation
Each lift size features:
- A unique floor area (the standing platform)
- An outer dimension (lift plus shaft envelope)
- A “hole-through-the-floor” requirement between levels
Both SWIFT Pro and Lite can be installed directly on the floor or recessed in a 50 mm pit. The minimum overhead clearance (top height) required is just 2275 mm.
