How much space is needed to install a home elevator?

A 3-person home lift requires a structural shaft of 1250×1250 mm, a pit of 350–800 mm and an overhead of 2400–2800 mm. In existing homes the lift is often installed inside the stair void without structural alteration.

Can a home elevator run during load-shedding?

Yes. Every Liftech home elevator ships with a battery-backed Automatic Rescue Device (ARD) that delivers 3–5 rescue trips on a full charge, and can be paired with the household UPS or solar inverter for continuous operation.

How long does a home elevator installation take?

Delivery is 6–8 weeks and on-site installation & commissioning 10–14 days for a standard 3-stop residential lift, provided the shaft, electrical supply and finishing are ready.

Is a machine room required for a home elevator?

No. Liftech home elevators use a compact PMSM gearless MRL machine that sits inside the shaft head, so no separate machine room is required.

01 · Overview

Engineered home elevators for Pakistan's demanding built environment.

Liftech Global home elevators are compact, self-supporting residential lifts designed for villas, townhouses and rooftop-access retrofits across Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad. A permanent-magnet gearless MRL machine sits inside the shaft head, removing the need for a dedicated machine room and cutting builder's-work by up to 40%.

Pit and overhead can be reduced to 350 mm and 2400 mm respectively, so the lift can be dropped into an existing stairwell without structural surgery. Bespoke cabins in wood veneer, glass, stainless steel or painted steel are coordinated with the interior architect, and the whole unit runs on single-phase 220 V with an integrated home-UPS ARD for continuous operation during load-shedding.
