Is the SWIFT Domestic Lift Safe?

SWIFT uses a unique screw and nut drive system (patent pending), engineered for exceptional elevator safety and reliability. Certified by the accredited notified body DNV (Det Norske Veritas), our lifts comply with the strictest European standards—Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and EN 81-41—which govern safety for vertical lifting platforms.

All SWIFT elevators come with built-in elevator safety features, such as intelligent doors, highly responsive safety sensors, and dual safety brakes for total peace of mind. Our lifts also support remote access by the SWIFT service team for immediate assistance if needed.

Thanks to our Tesla-inspired battery system, you never have to worry about manual rescue; in a power failure, the SWIFT anti-trap system continues to operate at normal speed and function—an invaluable advantage in emergency situations.

Are all domestic lifts equally safe?

Not necessarily. Lift safety depends on quality, regulatory compliance, correct installation, and consistent maintenance. Here are ways to ensure maximum safety:

• Prioritize brands with proper certification – Look for lifts meeting EN 81-41 or equivalent safety standards.
• Use authorized installers – Professional installation ensures safety systems function as intended.
• Schedule regular maintenance – Regular servicing keeps safety features like brakes and sensors working reliably.
• Educate users – Especially important in homes with children or elderly users, ensure everyone knows how to safely operate the lift.

In conclusion, elevator safety is not just about the device—it’s a system that depends on manufacturer quality, installation standards, and ongoing care. SWIFT prioritizes safety at every level, allowing you to enjoy home lift convenience without compromising on protection.
