A Home Elevator, Inc.

Some types of residential elevators require a machine room to house the drive unit, controller, and electrical equipment, including the main disconnect switches. The average machine room has a footprint of 38” by 48”, or just over 12.6 square feet. Finding space for a machine room can be challenging in an existing home.

The Symmetry inline gear drive home elevator does not require a machine room, allowing you to save space. Our inline gear drive elevator houses the drive unit at the top of the elevator shaft instead of in a machine room and has a capacity of 1,000 lbs. Inline gear drives are available in pitless models and models that require 6” to 8” elevator pits.
