As Australia’s population ages and accessibility needs grow, more families are investing in practical solutions that allow them to stay in their homes comfortably. Compact Home Lifts provides two residential elevator models designed specifically for Australian homes. Both are quick to install, energy-efficient and compact enough to suit a wide range of properties.
The Compact Elegance: A Two-Passenger Lift for Small Spaces
The Compact Elegance lift is ideal for homes where space is limited but accessibility is essential. With a footprint of just 0.8m², it transports two people between floors in under 30 seconds.
Key features of the Compact Elegance
- Travel speed: 0.1m per second
- Footprint: Only 0.8m², suitable for tight corners or closet spaces
- Weight capacity: Up to 170kg
