Modern homes come well equipped with technology, from Smart TVs, Fridges to automation homes have it all except smart mobility.
A home Elevator brings that edge to a modern home from other homes,
Reports suggest a home elevator help with property price appreciations & are an attractive element for rental homes.
Before installing a home elevator it is important to keep few things in mind
Requirement from your home elevator
The Elevator should have a minimum capacity of 408 Kgs/ 6 Passengers (that may seem a lot today but for practical reasons in future your elevator must be able to accommodate for various use cases like luggage, parties, guest at home, wheelchair accessibility etc.)
Your lift must be well lit and provide an ample amount of view for the passengers, An elevator with Glass doors & Glass cabins do just that!
Easy Installation - Minimum breakage & quick installation to prevent disturbance to the structure.
Feasibility of installing an elevator at your home
Compared to conventional Machine Room Less (MRL) & Geared traction elevators, Hydraulic home elevators require fewer changes to the building structure nonetheless it is important to know these requirements prior to getting them installed.
Pit : The depth required below the Ground level is known as a Lift Pit,
MRL, Geared Traction requires a minimum of 5 feet & Hydraulic require a minimum of 1 feet this can be adjusted by taking a step from the ground level instead of going below the ground level. Kindly note reduction of the minimum pit depth can be a serious safety compromise.
Overhead: The minimum height required for the final floor level, for MRL, Traction it is 15ft (+ 6 ft M/c room for Traction motors), for hydraulic the standard floor height of 10 ft is sufficient. Kindly note reduction of the minimum height can be a serious safety compromise.
Space for the lift shaft: Area required for hydraulic lifts are relatively less and are more efficient in space utilization when compared to MRL, Geared traction.
