5 Factors that Impact the Platform Lifts Cost

  1. Model choice:

SWIFT comes in two versions, Lite and Pro. Lite is the cheaper model, designed for basic functionality and essential features, making it ideal for homeowners seeking a cost-effective lift solution. While Pro is the more advanced and expensive one offering advanced features such as customizable interiors, enhanced smart controls, and superior finishes for a more luxurious experience.

  1. Number of floors:

The More floors, the higher the price. Each additional floor requires its own door, an extension of the lift shaft, and an expansion of the drive unit. These components increase both material and installation expenses, directly impacting the final price.

  1. Design choices:

There are multiple customization options available, including the choice of shaft materials, interior themes, and color schemes. These design preferences allow you to match the lift with your home’s aesthetics. However, each selection can influence the overall cost, as premium finishes and materials typically come at a higher price.

  1. Installation cost:

The cost of installing SWIFT is included in the price. Before the installation begins, a site inspection is carried out to ensure that everything is prepared according to SWIFT standards and recommendations. Extra costs may be incurred if extra help is needed to prepare a pit, cut a hole in the floor, or do finish work such as trimming around the elevator.

  1. Maintenance and service:

SWIFT offers a maintenance and service package, which typically includes two visits per year. The elevator has a 5-year warranty for manufacturing defects and a 10-year warranty for the screw/nut drive system. The maintenance and service package starts at 200 Euro per visit.
