What is a Shaftless home elevator?
A shaftless elevator for home use is designed to travel through one single-floor opening between two floors. Unlike larger elevators, a shaftless elevator does not require a shaftway, elevator pit, or machine room, resulting in a very small installation footprint. The integrated sliding doors are also more space-saving than swing doors, allowing you to maximize your floor space.
Unlike other home elevators, shaftless lifts are operated with hold-to-run, which makes your home lift very safe and easy to use. Hold-to-run means that the elevator travels when you maintain pressure on the button and stops when you release the pressure. For the safety of you and your loved ones, sensors on the top and bottom of the elevator instantly stop the lift in case any obstructions are detected.
Alternative to a stair lift
The Ascenda by Cibes is a user-friendly solution for individuals with mobility limitations. It also offers you greater flexibility than a stair lift, as it has the ability to transport a person in a wheelchair. Furthermore, a shaftless home elevator is also more aesthetically appealing than a stair lift and offers you a wider range of mobility options. So, if you are thinking about buying a stair lift, a shaftless residential lift is a space-saving and attractive option to consider.

FAQ
How much does a shaftless home elevator cost?
The cost of a shaftless elevator can vary depending on the options and customizable features you choose. On average, a shaftless elevator costs less than other home elevator models because shaftless models are smaller and require far fewer modifications to your home during installation.
How big is a shaftless elevator?
The average size of an elevator car is 40” x 54” x 84” or 36” x 60 x 84”, plus the hoistway or shaft. A standard-size shaftless elevator, in contrast, has a car size of 27 9/16” x 23 5/8” x 78 11/16”, with no hoistway to take up additional floor space. The car can hold one or two people, with a load capacity of 770 lbs. If you need a slightly larger elevator car, you can increase your shaftless elevator size to 33 7/16” x 49 3/16” x 78 11/16”. The extra space gives people using walkers or transporter chairs more room to maneuver in and out of the car.
What is the weight capacity rating of a shaftless elevator?
Despite their compact nature, shaftless elevators can typically handle 770 lbs. Ideally, you want an elevator with a weight capacity rating that is more than what you need to accommodate any changes as you age in place or as your mobility issues advance.
How fast does a shaftless elevator travel?
Our shaftless elevator travels at thirty feet per minute (fpm), the same speed as the average home elevator.
Are shaftless elevators safe?
A shaftless home elevator is exceptionally safe. Sensors on the top and bottom of the elevator car detect any obstructions, halting the elevator automatically if an object is detected. You have full control of the elevator and can stop at any time by releasing the control button.Like other small elevators for homes, shaftless elevator doors lock into place to ensure the elevator will not move unless the doors are securely shut. A shaftless home elevator comes with additional safety features, such as interior emergency lighting, battery backups that raise or lower the car in the event of a power failure, an onboard telephone, and emergency stop and alarm buttons.
