Savaria Vuelift Mini Home Elevator

A panoramic elevator that’s easy to fit

With only a 50” footprint needed, the Vuelift Mini is a popular solution for retrofits. Available in clear acrylic or glass with integrated matching hoistway, the Vuelift Mini offers a spacious feel, yet saves space to fit easily into many home styles and floorplans. It features a manual, curved cab gate with 30” opening, a curved landing door and a 500lb capacity. Installation usually takes 4-5 days and with no need to build a hoistway, site preparation is easier and less costly.

Small footprint for flexibility

Going where other elevators cannot, the Vuelift Mini takes up a small 50" footprint. Place it inside a curved staircase, attached to a mezzanine or second floor balcony, or the middle of a room. The Vuelift Mini is an easier install for existing homes with only small renovations required in most cases.

Ease of construction

A shallow pit of only 3" is needed, along with only 96" of overhead space needed to reduce construction needs. Because the Vuelift Mini includes a factory-built hoistway, site preparation and the coordination of trades is greatly reduced. The controller is located in a utility area and the homeowner adds flooring of their choice, and finished flooring around the floor cut-outs. See the PlanningGuide for more details.
