How Much Space is Needed For the Home Lift?
Many homeowners assume that installing a home lift requires a large amount of space, but that’s not necessarily true. With modern compact designs, such as the SWIFT XXS, it’s possible to fit a lift into an area the size of an airing cupboard! This makes it ideal for smaller residential spaces while still providing all the convenience of a home elevator.
For lifts designed for wheelchair access, more space may be required, but SWIFT ensures that whichever model you select, your available space is maximized efficiently.
Space Requirements for Home Elevator Installation
Both SWIFT Pro and SWIFT Lite home lifts come in six different sizes. Each size is designed to meet the needs of a modern family while minimizing the space required in your home.
Key dimensions to consider:
- Floor Size: The actual area where passengers stand inside the lift.
- Outer Dimension: Includes the lift cabin plus shaft, defining the overall space the lift occupies.
- Hole-Through-the-Floor Size: The cut-out or space required between two floors to accommodate the lift.
Both SWIFT Pro and SWIFT Lite lifts can be installed directly on the floor or recessed into a 50 mm pit. The required space on the top floor for installation is only 2275 mm, making it suitable for a variety of home layouts.
With careful planning, home lift installation can be seamlessly integrated without major structural changes, offering a convenient and space-efficient solution for modern homes.
