Residential Elevator Drive Systems
Tried and true
Residential elevators offer proven and reliable drive options that have stood the test of time. Whether you choose Hydraulic or Inline Gear (machine-room-less) drives, you can trust in their track record of dependability and efficient operation. These reliable drive systems ensure a smooth and comfortable ride, providing homeowners with confidence and reliability for years to come.
Inline Gear Drive
Think you don’t have space to install a home elevator?
The Symmetry Inline Gear Drive system does not require a machine room — saving you space and money without sacrificing your safety.
This machine room-less elevator system runs at a speed of 40 fpm, can serve two to six stops, has a rated capacity of 1,000 lbs and features our standard ‘exclusive’ additions, including emergency battery-operated lowering, COP, and hall stations digital position indicators, custom wood sills and energy-efficient LED lighting.
An optionally equipped battery backup system allows the elevator to travel up to the next level of egress in the case of a power failure (up to 40’0″ at 20 fpm).
Hydraulic Drive
When it comes to residential elevator systems, hydraulic drives are a popular choice for homeowners looking for quality, safety, and the ‘quietest’ ride.
Hydraulic home elevator systems utilize a ram or piston to raise and lower the car by filling or releasing fluid into an airtight cylinder. With more standard features and custom options than any other elevator on the market today, Symmetry’s Hydraulic Drive Residential Elevator system is the industry leader.
Unique in the market, no other company offers emergency battery-operated lowering, COP and hall stations digital position indicators, custom wood sills and energy-efficient LED lighting as standard features.
This drive system accommodates up to six stops, 50’0″ of travel, and is equipped to hold up to 1,000 lbs.
Winding Drum
Time-tested, technology improved.
Based on early elevator lift assemblies, the Symmetry Winding Drum Elevator utilizes heavy-duty aircraft cables attached to a rotating drum. The drum is attached to a variable-speed motor to move the elevator car and ensure ‘smooth’ stops and starts.
With our advanced electronics package and in-house design engineered software and controller, the Symmetry Winding Drum Elevator is the smoothest and quietest drum drive on the market for home elevators. This drive system accommodates up to six stops, 50’0″ of travel, and is equipped to hold up to 1,000 lbs.

Residential lift safety
Home elevators are as safe as they are convenient.
All residential elevator installations abide by strict safety codes and standards dictating weight limits, travel distances, and speed. In addition, a residential lift may have safety features such as emergency phones, backup batteries in the event of power failures, and door sensors that prevent elevator doors from closing on people or obstructions.
Modern home elevator safety protocols make moving from floor to floor by elevator as safe as using the stairs — or safer if you have limited mobility.
