How To Pick A Home Lift Company
Some of our competitors might be cutting corners, here’s what to look for.
what to AVOID
No CSA Safety Certification
Ask them if their homelift elevator is CSA certified, if they are not then you might be dealing with a cheap ‘Made in China’ product that might not qualify for a Building Permit and will negatively impact your home value.
What we offer
The Safest Homelift
Our residential elevators are CSA certified. We offer models sourced and manufactured right here in Canada as well as the UK in contrast to some counterparts which import low-quality home lifts from China, which may not meet CSA certification.
what to AVOID
Won’t Qualify For Building Permit
Many of our competitors will claim you don’t require a building permit to install a residential home elevator. You will save a little money up front but may run into issues with insurance, sale of your house and bylaw infringements.
What we offer
Engineering Drawings Included
We provide all necessary documents, including engineering drawings, are provided at no extra cost to our customer allowing them to apply for and receive the building permit required, ensuring all work is done legally, protecting their investment!

Dedicated Mobility Experts vs. Random Contractors
Our competitors primarily operate outside of Canada and therefore rely on lowest bidder general contractors instead of a dedicated homelift team.
The Highest Safety Ratings by Certification
Some of our competitors don’t even pass basic CSA safety certification but because homelift elevators are unregulated they can still sell them.

Our installation team are mobility experts and not general contractors. We help you optimize your home and provide reliable high-quality installs.

- Can serve 2-4 landings
- Automatic operation
- Automatic cab door
- 35fpm speed
Cons
- Greater construction scope
- Requires more space in comparison
Stair Lift
A shaftless, personal elevator is an attractive and compact two-story lift that travels through an aperture between the floors. It can be installed in almost any room in the house given its small footprint, and can be parked on another floor to conserve the useful space for passage.
Pros
- Compact footprint
- Lower total project cost
- Can be hidden when not in use
- Visibility while traveling
Cons
- Slower 16fpm speed
- Constant push operation
- Can only serve 2 landings

What are low-cost home elevator options?
When considering a home elevator for a new home, some hoistway elevator types cost less than others.
Homelifts / Shaftless Elevators
When considering the total project cost for existing homes, the best low-cost elevator solution is the Homelift. Homelifts move through a reinforced aperture between the two floors being served without the need for a hoistway. The renovation work to accept the device compared with a traditional hoistway elevator is minimal.
Which residential elevator company should you choose?
Here’s a look at various elevator manufacturers and what they offer:
Savaria Home Lifts Elevators
Headquartered in Laval, Quebec with manufacturing facilities in Europe and China, Savaria has been offering accessibility solutions since 1989. Their products include various wheelchair lifts and low-rise elevators for residential and commercial use and accessible van conversions. Savaria’s Telecab is a hydraulic-driven shaftless elevator, suitable for existing homes. The Telecab cost is low but requires a packed support wall which increases the total project cost. Savaria also offers a luxury glass cab & hoistway elevator option for new and existing homes called the Vuelift. The Vuelift cost will be more than all other traditional home elevators because it includes a glass enclosure within the price.
Stiltz Home Lift Elevators
An alternative to Cambridge Elevating, Stiltz units travel ‘through the floor’ on self-supporting dual guide rails. A Stiltz home elevator cost will be more compared directly to the price of a traditional home elevator but keep in mind it does not require the construction of an enclosed hoistway. The cost of Stiltz home lifts depends on the model. The price of the Trio Alta Lift home lift by Stiltz is greater than the cost of the Duo Alta shaftless elevator by Stiltz. Stiltz Homelifts come in 2 sizes of shaftless elevators. Stiltz shaftless home elevators are manufactured in China and distributes them from two primary locations, Pennsylvania, USA and their head office in the UK.
The Duo Alta Home Lift was introduced in 2016 to please homeowners who wanted to add a lift to their home without sacrificing space or aesthetics. It boasts a curved glass cab that lets riders easily see their surroundings as they travel within their home.
In 2019, the company announced a new option for their Trio Alta Lift model. It’s a six-meter travel option for homeowners with exceptionally high ceilings or homes with three levels allowing for flexibility. Stiltz home lifts continue to expand its network of global dealers to serve the needs of all individuals who wish to gracefully age within their home.
Garaventa Lift
Garaventa dates back to 1928 when they built their first cable car in the Swiss Alps. In North America, they were known for their public Inclined Platform Lift (IPL) and Vertical Platform Lift (VPL) products before venturing into low-rise elevators for home and commercial buildings. Garaventa’s head office is in Surrey, BC and was wholly purchased by Savaria in 2018.
Otis Elevator
One of the largest and most well-known elevator companies in the World. Otis entered the residential elevator segment in the United States for a brief period of time under the moniker ‘Otis at Home’. It didn’t last long, and Otis has not sold or installed private residence elevators in the U.S. or Canada since 2012. Otis’ residential elevator price would be significantly above all other options today because they’d be offering a full commercial elevator system.
RAM Elevators & Lifts
Founded in 1987 and located in Edmonton, Alberta, RAM is a North American manufacturer of elevating devices for both residential and low-rise commercial use across Canada and the United States. RAM supplies the industry’s only screw-drive full residential elevator.
Thyssenkrupp Elevator
Another top 10 elevator company globally, Thyssenkrupp ventured into the residential elevator space from 1999 to 2012 as ThyssenKrupp Access Manufacturing. They manufactured 3 models of home elevators and a shaftless elevator called the Minivator.
Symmetry Elevators
With over 80 offices across the U.S., Symmetry Elevators offers an expansive product list, including residential elevators, wheelchair lifts and vertical lifts. Recently Symmetry has partnered with Staying Home Corp to distribute their shaftless residential elevator. This unit uses battery operation technology borrowed from stair lifts and requires a support wall. Symmetry does not have a strong presence in Canada.
Home elevators for custom home builds
A personal home elevator is a great feature for any new custom home build. Think of a home elevator more as a vertical hallway than a device that assists those who struggle with stairs. Designing a custom home allows one to position the elevator where it can be best used to connect all levels of the home to move both people and goods. A traditional hoistway elevator may afford a larger footprint than a shaftless, 2-storey compact elevator but the homeowner will benefit from greater performance and control for the elevator to be hidden from view. When comparing costs, a hoistway elevator is more affordable than a shaftless device when building new.
