Residential Lifts are specially used in residences or huge buildings. These residential lifts are fabricated using the premium quality raw material. This elevator is known for its qualities like durability, low power consumption and high load bearing capacity. People in residential buildings definitely need an elevator as it will make their routine activities easier. Residential elevators are designed for carrying passenger of 2-4 people safely and comfortably. Residential Elevators can be of enormous importance in simplifying life, helping to lessen daily re-occurring movements of climbing stairs. Residential elevators take up much less area than stairwells, thus help to save a huge portion of the location. The elevator can even be installed outside on an external wall, providing an indoor entry at each level. A home elevator acts as a fruitful investment for many, helping to increase the resale value of the home. Residential Elevators reduce cases of typical accidents such as crumbling down the stairs or in worse cases, children slip over stair rails.

Diverse types of Residential Elevators

Residential / Home Elevators come equipped majorly with five different types of drive systems. They are:

Roped hydraulic residential elevators : Roped hydraulic residential elevators are based on a hydraulic pump that is connected to a piston and pulley. The piston is sustained by a pedestal and connected to the hoist way by a set of brackets. A pair of steel cables are fixed to the floor of the shaft, stretched around the pulley at the top, and then attached to the bottom of the L-shaped sling on which the cab sits. This makes for a smoother ride than many other systems.

Pneumatic Vacuum Elevator : PVE do not require cables or pistons, but use the hoist way as part of the lifting system. This is necessary to maintain precise atmospheric pressures above and below the cab. The lifting process starts when pressure is reduced above the cab, causing it to start to fill the void. To slide, a control valve slowly releases pressure, creating a cushion of air beneath the cab. Energy is needed almost exclusively to lift the cab and not to lower it.

Winding Drum and Counterweight Chain Elevator : Winding drum and counterweight home elevators use the age-old design based on a revolving winch and counterweight. The electric motor winds the cable through the drum, alternately raising and lowering the cab and counterweight.

Traction Drive Elevator Systems : These are seen in the residential space on rare occasion. They are much typically seen in commercial systems.

Gearless Drive : These are also called green elevator as it uses less amount of energy.
