Residential Lifts

Screw and nut lifts are one of the most common systems we install because of their simplicity and reliability. They use a threaded screw shaft with a drive nut that moves the platform up and down. The beauty of this design is that it doesn’t need a big machine room or counterweights, which is why we recommend it for many homes. For people researching home elevators Brisbane wide, this is often the best option because it saves space and keeps installation straightforward.

It really depends on the product, but generally the smallest lift we install only takes up about the space of a wardrobe. If you’re tight on room, we’ll usually suggest one of the compact models. We’ve put these into apartments, townhouses, even inside stair voids. That’s why more people are turning to home lifts Brisbane homeowners can customise to their floorplans, without needing major building works.

Absolutely. Most of our clients want their lift to look like part of the home rather than an afterthought. You can choose colours, glass types, flooring, even door configurations. For bigger projects, like luxury homes or penthouses, we can really push the design side of things. Our residential elevators Brisbane projects often include glass shafts, automatic swing doors, and finishes that match the rest of the property.

Yes. Every residential lift we install has a safety backup. For screw and nut systems, there’s a battery-powered lowering function that will bring the lift down to the nearest floor so you can get out. Hydraulic systems can have a UPS that automatically lowers the cabin. Ask our team for more info.

Not a lot, but we do recommend servicing twice a year. That way we can check safety components, oil levels, and make sure everything’s running smoothly. For homes near the coast, we’ll suggest more frequent checks because of the salty air. Most people looking at domestic lifts Brisbane wide want peace of mind, and regular maintenance is the key to extending the life of the lift. Read our article on home lift maintenance here.
