Home elevators provide convenient access for both the physically challenged and healthy individuals to the various floors in multi-storied residences. The advanced safety features of a home elevator ensure that the users move from one floor to another in a smooth, safe and comfortable manner.

Door Interlocks and Under Platform Sensors Ensure Additional Safety

For ensuring maximum safety of the users, home elevators are provided with special door interlocks. These interlocks prevent the door from opening in between the floors. The different home elevator models are designed with open platforms or completely encircled cabins with safety gates. The other safety measures included are:

• Fully automatic operating controls
• Manual lowering device
• Emergency stop buttons
• In-cab alarms
• Emergency lighting
• Handrails
• Telephone system
• Under-platform sensors
• Final and ultimate limit switches
• Slack rope safety

Convenient Accessibility Option for Your Home

Home elevator models that can be installed without making structural alterations and separate machine rooms are available now. Apart from providing easy and safe access to mobility impaired persons, home elevators can also be used for moving heavy items such as furniture, laundry, groceries and more from one floor to another. Home elevator models that are spacious enough to accommodate wheelchairs are also available. Besides, to match well with the interior decorations of your home, these accessibility equipments are also provided with customization options. As far as the cost factor is concerned, home elevators integrated with superior safety features are more cost-effective than commercial elevators.

Evaluate Your Requirements before Making the Purchase

When purchasing a home elevator it is important to make an analysis of your requirements. To obtain the right product, it is also necessary to check through the details of the available models, manufacturers, integrated safety features, power consumption rate and more. The leading manufacturers of home elevators include Federal Elevator, Savaria Concord and Thyssenkrupp Access. Buying from recognized dealers enables you to utilize quality products with sufficient warranty, professional installation and maintenance support in a budget-friendly manner.
