What is an Elevator or Lift?

• An elevator (US and Canada) or lift (UK,
  Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, and South
  Africa) is a type of vertical transportation that
  moves people or goods between floors (levels,
  decks) of a building, vessel, or other structure.
• Home elevators have become a highly required
  amenity in luxury homes and residences in upscale
  suburban areas. With an elevator installed, older
  adults and individuals with mobility problems can
  enjoy all levels of their home.
• Installing an elevator in your home can
  dramatically improve the quality of life for a
  family member with mobility problems, while also
  adding to the value of your house.
• Moreover, it makes life easier for the entire
  family and systems with high load capacity can be
  used to transport items such as furniture,
  firewood, and laundry from one level to another.
  Having a residential elevator is considered a
  sound investment as it enhances the value of your
  home.
• As there are many models and brands of home
  elevators out there, choosing an elevator for
  your home can be a complex task. Here are some
  important factors to consider while choosing a
  system for your home.

Factors to be Consider while choosing an Elevator

• Consider the different types of residential
  elevators on the market. Traditional hydraulic
  elevators use pistons and cables, while pneumatic
  or vacuum elevators use changes in air pressure
  to move the cars. Simple elevators can use
  mechanical motors to raise and lower small cars.
• Drive System
•  Residential elevators comes with different types
  of drive system such as roped hydraulic, winding
  drum, counterweight chain, vacuum, and gearless
  drive. Choosing an elevator depends upon your
  specific needs, what you need from the system and
  the layout of your home. The ideal option would
  be one with a quiet, smooth drive system.

Space Size

• Inside, an elevator requires an area that can
  hold a wheelchair, that is, a 36' 48' car size.
  Some home elevators require space for machine
  room, while others that do not require any
  separate machine room.
• Some systems can even be installed with stairs
  wrapping around it, through a hole in the floor,
  or attached to a balcony. The benefit of these
  models is that they require minimal floor space,
  which helps to save valuable space in your home.
  So you should choose an elevator based on the
  space available for installation.
• Size is another important factor. Vacuum
  elevators are generally not large enough to
  transport a wheelchair, while hydraulic elevators
  have much more interior room and can easily
  accommodate a wheelchair, scooter, or other
  mobility device.

5
Distance

• Another important consideration is the distance
  the elevator will need to travel. Small platform
  lifts can only travel up to eight feet, while
  vacuum elevators can travel up to four stories.
  Hydraulic elevators can be used in tall
  buildings, even skyscrapers. The weights of
  passengers and their wheelchairs or other
  mobility devices are important factors. Pneumatic
  elevators can only transport up to 450 pounds,
  while hydraulic elevators can carry much larger
  weights.

Current or New Home

•  An elevator is easier to set up in a new home
  where it can be part of the building plan. Some
  models can be easily installed in both new and
  existing homes. The cost of setting up a standard
  elevator will depend on whether it is part of a
  new construction plan or if it is being installed
  in an existing space.
• Travel Speed and Capacity 
• Residential elevators generally have a travel
  speed of 30-40 ft per minute and can serve up to
  5 floors. There models that can hold a maximum
  capacity of 1000 lbs (like Savarias infinity
  Home Elevator) and a minimum of 350 lbs (like
  Pneumatic Vacuum Elevators PVE30).

Safety Features 

• Quality Home Elevators in Hyderabad come with
  inbuilt safety features that help children and
  older people to use the lift safely.
• Safety features to consider while choosing a
  system include battery operated emergency
  lowering, lighting and fan, manual emergency
  lowering button, emergency stop and alarm
  buttons, in-use indicator lights on hall station,
  telephone, non-skid platform, under-panel sensor
  to stop the unit if it detects an obstruction,
  pressure relief valve to prevent platform
  overload, electro-mechanical door lock and open
  door sensors, mechanical emergency safety brake
  system, infrared safety light curtain, handrails
  inside cab, earthquake brackets and automatic
  battery recharging.

Price Maintenance

• Costs for various types of elevators also vary
  greatly. The average cost for a hydraulic
  residential elevator is ?95,000, while vacuum
  elevators cost ?1,25,000 to ?1,80,000.
• Vacuum elevators have lower maintenance costs
  than hydraulic elevators because they have fewer
  mechanical parts. When discussing prices with an
  elevator dealer, inquire about service plans.
• Elevators are generally installed in a central
  location or at the very end of a home. The
  simplest place to add an elevator is on an
  exterior wall. Do not replace a staircase with an
  elevator, as this generally decreases a homes
  value.
• Lastly, consider how the new elevator will fit in
  with the appearance of the rest of your home.
  Hydraulic elevators are hidden behind walls and
  require a separate machine room, while vacuum
  elevators are exposed.

  Residential Elevators in Hyderabad and should

  devices from the industrys leading
  manufacturers.
• Professional companies have factory-trained,
  certified technicians to provide customized
  installation services. They will also provide
  periodic inspection and testing to ensure that
  your home elevator is in perfect working

• Installation requirements vary widely depending
  on the type of elevator. Hydraulic elevators
  require demolition and remodelling to create a
  pit for the pistons and other equipment needed
  for the elevator to operate.

  digging. Also consider the electrical power
  requirements of each type of elevator and whether
