Low Pit Lifts future-proof your home and increase comfort
Creating accessible homes and spaces has become a priority for families and individuals facing mobility challenges. As demand grows for more inclusive living solutions, low pit lifts have emerged as a modern, efficient alternative to traditional lifts. Designed for easy installation with minimal building alterations, they allow homeowners to integrate vertical mobility without the need for deep shafts or bulky machinery.
Low Pit Lifts are a smart investment.
At SWIFT, we specialise in cutting-edge lift technology that blends seamlessly into residential environments. Our reduced headroom or low pit lifts, including the premium SWIFT Pro and the compact SWIFT Lite, provide all the convenience of a full elevator system without the extensive groundwork or invasive renovations required by conventional lifts.
Why Choose Low Pit Lifts?
Unlike standard elevators, which typically require deep excavation for a lift pit, low pit lifts operate with a much shallower base, often requiring just a few centimetres of recess or none at all. This makes them ideal for retrofit projects, heritage buildings, or modern homes with limited space or structural flexibility.
Here’s why our low pit lifts are an excellent choice for residential use:
- Minimal excavation – reduced headroom or low pit lifts eliminate the need for deep shafts, significantly reducing installation time and construction disruption.
- Space-saving design – their compact structure makes them ideal for homes with tight floor plans or limited layout options.
- Accessibility-compliant – SWIFT lifts meet UK and European accessibility standards, ensuring safe and inclusive mobility for users of all ages and abilities.
- Energy efficient – equipped with EcoDrive systems, our lifts consume minimal electricity while delivering smooth, whisper-quiet performance.
- Future-proof living – installing a low pit lift adds long-term value and usability to your home, allowing residents to age in place with dignity and ease.
Key Features of Our Low Pit Lifts
SWIFT low pit lifts are engineered with precision and purpose. We go beyond simply making lifts compact—we design them to enhance the lifestyle of every user.
Here are the standout features of our lift systems:
Smooth, silent operation
Our lifts are powered by a unique screw and nut drive system, offering vibration-free, quiet travel between floors. Unlike hydraulic systems, there’s no need for oil or complex pump mechanisms, making it cleaner and easier to maintain.
Enhanced safety
Each lift includes industry-leading safety features such as:
- Emergency stop buttons
- Dual safety brakes
- Intelligent door locking systems
- Non-slip flooring
- Anti-trap battery system for operation during power outages
Compact and customisable
SWIFT low pit lifts are designed to integrate beautifully into any setting. Whether you’re looking for a sleek, minimalist style or a more traditional finish, our lifts can be tailored in terms of colour, materials, and interior fittings. Custom sizing is also available to accommodate wheelchairs, walking aids, or mobility equipment.
Smart controls
SWIFT Pro and SWIFT Lite both come with user-friendly One-Touch controls, and smart home integration options are available. Users can manage the lift with ease, while our remote access system allows our team to provide fast support when needed.
No machine room needed
Thanks to our self-contained drive mechanism, our reduced headroom or low pit lifts do not require a separate machine room, helping save additional space and simplifying the installation process.
Explore Our Low Pit Lifts
At SWIFT, we offer two models of low pit lifts, each designed to meet different needs and preferences while maintaining our commitment to quality, safety, and style.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of motor powers your smart home lifts?
Our low pit lifts are driven by an advanced Interior Permanent Magnet (IPM) Synchronous Reluctance Motor (SynRM)—the same high-performance motor technology found in Tesla and other leading electric vehicles. This motor offers efficient, reliable, and quiet operation for seamless home mobility.
Do SWIFT lifts use a lot of electricity?
Not at all. SWIFT lifts are built with a Tesla-inspired drive system that includes regenerative braking, which captures and reuses energy during descent. Consuming just 900W, these lifts are exceptionally energy-efficient (they use less electricity than a standard microwave!) while delivering smooth and eco-conscious vertical transport.
Are your lifts safe for children?
Absolutely. Every SWIFT lift is equipped with advanced safety features to ensure worry-free use by all age groups. The SWIFT Pro model includes a dedicated “Kid’s Mode,” which slows the lift and door movement for added security. It also features a child lock that requires a PIN code, helping to prevent unsupervised access.
How much does installation cost?
Installation pricing depends on several factors, including the number of floors and the selected lift configuration. Additional levels may require more doors and extended shafts, which can influence the final cost. For an accurate quote, our team is happy to assist based on your specific home and needs.
What is the delivery and installation timeline?
Once ordered, delivery typically takes between 6 to 10 weeks. Installation of our low pit or reduced headroom lifts is quick and efficient, usually completed within 3 to 5 days, depending on site conditions.
What does the warranty cover?
Our low pit lifts come with comprehensive coverage. The unique screw and nut drive system is backed by a 10-year warranty, while the remaining lift components are covered for 5 years.
