What is a through floor lift?

A through-floor lift is a type of home lift or elevator that runs on a track going through a hole in the ceiling (called the aperture). Unlike passenger lifts, this type of lifts has many advantages that make it more suitable for domestic use, including;

• Cost, these lifts are generally less expensive than traditional passenger lifts

• Installation time, these lifts are quick and easy to install (our through floor lifts take around a day or two)

• No need for a dedicated elevator shaft, our lifts can be placed virtually anywhere in the home

• No need for a pit (although our lifts can be fitted with them)

• Sized according to your requirements, our through floor homelifts come in a variety of sizes, with some being able for multiple users, some being able to fit wheelchairs, and some are great as an alternative to a traditional stair lift

• Quiet - our home lifts run on a very quiet hydraulic system
