Types of elevators you can choose
There are several types of elevators to choose from; they run from gearless to pneumatic.
Gearless traction drive elevators are similar to those in most high rises. They run smooth and whisper-quiet; they provide luxury start to finish.
The electro-hydraulic drive system uses a state-of-the-art electronic variable valve assembly. It provides a softer, higher quality lift and comfort without sacrificing value or reliability.
The direct gear drive system provides increased mobility, convenience, and a smooth ride.
The vuelift elevator gives a panoramic view through the glass car. you can see what is going on as you ride between floors in comfort and style.
This type of elevator works by using air to power the elevator car between floors. A small example of this is the drive-through bank tubes. Pneumatic vacuum drives are the same principle but on a larger scale for elevators. This type of elevator is easily adaptable to existing homes.
No matter the style of your home, an elevator may be the wisest choice for aging in place, adding resale value to your home, and keeping your independence and mobility.
