Home Elevators with No Deep Pit Required
Contemporary homes require an automatic way of reaching any level without compromising on construction or structural integrity. The construction of home elevators without the need for deep excavations has created the opportunity for the homeowner to have easy access vertically and with limited civil work. Elite Elevators has developed technologies and a compact design so that homeowners can easily transition to home elevator systems that meet the needs of comfort, accessibility, and long-term convenience.
What Is It
Home elevators with no deep excavation required for installation are intended to operate as a residential elevator without the necessary excavation below floor level for a traditional home elevator. This means that either no pit or very shallow foundations can be used when installing these types of elevators. Elite Elevators has developed advanced home elevator systems that fit perfectly into Indian homes without the need to remove or rework existing flooring or structural layouts.
Why It Matters
Traditional elevators require significant civil work and excavation to a considerable depth and can take a long time to install. A home elevator with no deep excavation eliminates these time/effort barriers altogether. This allows for faster installation without construction disruptions and provides homeowners the ability to add vertical mobility to their homes after construction has been completed. In addition, homes in India where space, structure and finished interiors are of concern can now enjoy the benefits of residential elevator technology without the hassle of complicating the building process.
Who Needs This
The home elevator system is for homeowners living in villas, duplexes or independent homes where no excavation is feasible. This product will be of great benefit to families with elderly members and/or wheelchair users and anyone concerned about long-term accessibility. In addition to enhancing the comfort of the homeowner, a residential elevator will increase the overall value of the home without compromising the integrity of the home.
