Availability of workable space in your home is the first consideration with a home elevator installation. If space isn’t an issue, we suggest a Roped Hydraulic System which would have a separate space for the hydraulic power unit. In the case of limited space, we would recommend a Cable Drive System.

Roped Hydraulic Systems

In a roped Hydraulic system there are a few distinctions. This first is that the hydraulic cylinder is entirely above the ground which can make the elevator overall more reliable and protects the system from oil leaks and corrosion. This system contains a vibration-free power unit which would be located separately from the elevator hoist way. One of the great things about this is that it is far more easily accessible and will help to keep the noise from the system from being as well heard within the elevator. This system, like all systems produced by Custom Elevator, are certified and tried under the Safety Code for the American Standard of Mechanical Engineers.

Cable Drive Systems

Sometimes space is a concern in homes, Sturm Elevator has the solution. We recommend the cable drive system by Custom Elevator for smaller working spaces. This type of a unit will compact the amount of space and remove the need for an individual machine room. In this type of a unit the space above the elevator cab is used to house the driving machine. This can also be particularly helpful in applications where the residence is in a coastal flood zone. In the case of this unit, it exceeds the safety code for the American Standard of Mechanical Engineers regarding private residential elevators. The unit also has a greater number of safety features than any other marketed cable drive elevator units.
