What is large travel height support means in everyday living

A large travel height support is a type of home elevator that can travel smoothly through several floors in high-rise homes where there may be more than one (1) floor. A large travel height support extends vertically approximately twenty-one (21) meters; a large travel height support is used to connect all of the floors of your vertically constructed home through one continuous elevator system, rather than just connecting two (2) or three (3) floors together.

In Nibav home elevators, this is achieved through pneumatic air-driven technology, where controlled air pressure lifts the cabin upward and gravity-assisted descent manages downward travel. This design ensures stable operation, consistent cabin behaviour, and reliable stopping accuracy at every level—regardless of the total height of travel.

As a result, Nibav elevators deliver the same comfort, safety, and quiet performance on the highest floor as they do on the lowest, making them ideal for multi-storey villas, duplexes, and luxury residences with extended vertical layouts.

What is the importance of this?

  • Easy access
  • The elevator allows for easy access for people who live at any level of a high-rise home.

  • Reliable ride equal over all levels
  • All levels of the high-rise have been designed to provide the same acceleration, deceleration, and stop rates due to pneumatic pressure regulation.

  • Future-proofing residential planning
  • Allows for modification of the residential structure to include additional floors or change needs for mobility without upgrading or replacing the elevator.

  • No structural compromise
  • Even with high travel, Nibav elevator systems will be pitless, shaftless, and machine-room-free.

  • Simplified vertical mobility
  • Eliminating multiple lift systems for a large residence.

Who needs high travel elevators?

  • Multi-level homeowners
  • Multi-level homeowners experience advantageous benefits of uninterrupted access vertically.

  • High-end luxury villas and vertically designed residential properties
  • Elevators designed for tall structures and spacious open atriums require multi-storey elevators to travel longer distances vertically.

  • Families who want to live independently in the future
  • Elevators provide the ability to maintain comfort and independence as they change from one lifestyle to another.

  • Houses with special accessibility needs
  • Houses with sturdy, high-travel elevators provide wheelchair-accessible and assisted travel between levels.

Technical solution for high travel elevators

  • Advanced pneumatic transmission
  • Controlled pneumatic pressure provides controlled elevation and gravity-assisted descent over long vertical distances.

  • Self-supporting structural design
  • Provides constant alignment and stability without load-bearing walls at high levels.

  • Optimised pressure monitoring and regulation
  • Ensure smooth acceleration, accurate stopping, and consistent performance at every floor.

  • Multi-stop design
  • Provides multiple stops (ground level + multilevel) while delivering the same ride quality.

  • Integrated safety design
  • Elevator braking systems, door locking systems, emergency communications, overload protection systems, and battery back-up systems are fully integrated across the entire height of travel.
