Home Elevators

What It Is: No-Pit Design in Nibav Home Elevators

A no-pit elevator is one that doesnt require you to dig a pit under your ground floor to install it. Traditional home elevators must have a hole dug out to install them; Nibav home elevators are installed right on top of the finished flooring. At Nibav, all six of the home elevator series have been purpose-built for no-pit installation, allowing for installation in new homes or for feet that dont have the structure available to do an excavation for an elevator.

Why It Matters

    • No excavation involved
No digging up the flooring to install, breaking floors, or working on the foundation of a house. No digging means that the structure is left intact with no disruption to the overall installation effort.
    • Retrofitting option
No excavation means that you can install the elevator after construction is complete without disturbing the existing flooring.
    • Faster installation
Because there is no excavation to build the elevator pit, Nibav no-pit elevators can usually be installed within 4 to 5 working days depending on the model and number of stops.
    • Cleaner installation
Fewer civil dependencies equate to shorter, cleaner and more easily planned installation timelines compared to standard elevator systems.

Who Needs a No-Pit Home Elevator?

    • Seniors or Individuals with Mobility Limitations
There are several models of elevator, including the Series III Max, IV Max and V Max, which provide a comfortable way to move between the different levels of the house. The Series III Max, IV Max and V Max require no stairs for access and do not disrupt or interfere with any structural components of the house.
    • Retrofitted Homes and Renovation Projects
If a home has not been built with an elevator in mind, any of the Nibav models (Series) can be added to the house without needing to excavate the existing foundation or flooring.
    • Compact Home Designs and Space Limitations
The Series III Standard and IV Model elevator series have good performance when placed in compact, space-conserving proximity to each other. There is no need for a current pit construction when multiple sectioning of the elevators is not an option.
    • Homeowners Considering Future Accessibility
The Nibav elevator does not require excavation during the original construction process; therefore, all homeowners who purchase a Nibav elevator have the opportunity to add the ability to provide full accessibility at some time after the original construction of their home.
