Telecab Through-Floor Lift
Get a home elevator feel, save space
The Savaria Telecab through-the-floor accessibility lift provides two-stop service in your home without the need to build an elevator hoistway. Based on the drive system of the Savaria hydraulic wheelchair lift, the Telecab is reliable and strong. If you use a mobility device, including a wheelchair, the Telecab lift provides easy access for two levels of your home.
Why choose a Savaria Telecab lift
Ideal in-home lift for wheelchair usersThe Savaria Telecab accommodates wheelchairs, rollators and walkers with its 500 lb capacity. Choose up to a 36" by 59" cab size for ample interior space, as well as an optional second door for easy straight-through access.
The Telecab is installed onto a support wall and travels through a simple floor cut-out that is capped shut when the lift descends. The lift features constant pressure operation also known as “push-to-run” buttons to service two stops.
