Frequently Asked Questions:

What’s the Difference Between a Lift and an Elevator?

Both home lifts and elevators are defined as mechanical platforms designed for transporting people and goods from one level of a structure to another. But, elevators and lifts differ in their linguistic usage since the former is primarily used in American contexts while the latter is more common in British and European contexts.

What is the Standard Size of an Elevator?

A standard elevator measures approximately 6.5 to 7 feet in width and 6 feet in depth. The size of home elevators depends primarily on the amount of space available. Typically, homeowners opt a size of 40″ x 54″ or 36″ x 60″.

How Much Does a Home Elevator Cost?

In general, the cost of a home elevator depends on a variety of factors such as size, labor, elevator type, number of floors, type of materials, design style, installation complexity, and other additional features.

How Many People Fit in an Elevator?

Depending on its physical dimensions, a standard elevator is capable of supporting 1,000 to 2,000 pounds. This is enough to transport at least four to five people. A home elevator can accommodate up to 5 people comfortably.

How Much Space is Needed for an Elevator?

A home elevator requires approximately 20 square feet of space or less. As per the building codes, a home elevator should not exceed 18 square feet, while an elevator with a shaft generally occupies about 5 square feet.

What is the Weight Limit on a Home Elevator?

Elevators vary in terms of their maximum weight capacity. Most residential elevators support weight limits of 500 to 750 to 1,000 pounds, or more, depending on their type or model.

Are Home Elevators Safe?

A home elevator is safe when it complies with current elevator codes and is properly installed. Each home elevator includes safety features designed to ensure a smooth and comfortable ride.

How Fast Do Home Elevators Move?

A standard elevator travels at a speed of one meter per second (1m/s). Home elevators’ speeds are also determined by their type and weight capacity..

How Quick Can the Installation be Completed?

Installing a home elevator takes approximately one week, although basic home elevators may be completed in less time. However, the installation of elevators with advanced features sometimes requires at least two weeks.

What is the Frequency of Maintenance?

Maintenance of home elevators should be performed at least once a year, although many lift companies recommend biannual maintenance. It will ensure safe and efficient operation and prevent malfunctions.

What is the Difference Between Residential and Commercial Elevators?

Residential and commercial elevators differ in terms of size, weight capacity and cost. At Aritco Lifts, our home lifts are also suitable for use in commercial buildings.
