What Are Pitless and Shaftless Home Elevators?

Pitless and shaftless home elevators can be used in residential structures without having to excavate at the base or to build an individual vertical shaft. Unlike the conventional elevators which depend on pits, shafts, and extensive civil construction, pitless and shaftless elevators have all essential components contained inside the elevator structure itself and are engineered to be installed directly on the finished floor.

Nibav home elevators provide this type of system, making it easy to seamlessly install in both new residential buildings and existing residences, even in compact or space-restricted areas.

Why is Pitless and Shaftless Home Elevator Design So Important?

  • Ideal for Limited-Space Residences

    • Space in many residences is limited; therefore, a pitless and shaftless elevator allows for an elevator to be added without taking up any valuable space.

  • No Excavation or Structural Design Changes

    • Because there is no need for a pit or shaft, both the floor and foundation remain unchanged during installation.

  • Quick Installation Timeline

    • Less civil work means a quicker turnaround time from ordering to installation and minimal disruption to everyday life.

  • Blends with Current Home Design

    • The elevator blends well with the rest of the home and maintains the original architectural style.

  • Provides Greater Flexibility In Installation

    • Our elevator can be installed in locations that cannot accommodate traditional elevator installations.
