What Is Wheelchair Accessible/Wide Cabins?

Wheelchair Accessible Home Elevators have larger cabin sizes than traditional residential elevators, making entry easier. Wheelchair-friendly elevators are designed with larger, unrestricted entrances that provide plenty of space for the user to enter comfortably and safely and allow ample cabin width and depth for a smooth, safe ride while eliminating awkward twists or turns.

The wide cabin design of a wheelchair-friendly home elevator also provides room for family members or caregivers to accompany the user if necessary.

Nibav Home Elevators has designed wide cabins to be fully accessible for all wheelchairs, without sacrificing any level of comfort, safety, or visual appeal in their home elevators.

Why Wheelchair Accessible – Wide Cabin Design Is Important?

  • More Accessible

    • People using wheelchairs want to be able to enter and exit independently and safely. A wide cabin provides the room to allow for this.

  • Easier Access = More Comfortable Ride

    • Increased cabin space creates a less restrictive environment for the passenger, which enhances the experience of comfort when riding in an elevator.

  • Safer (Less Risk of Contact with Walls/Door)

    • Adequate room for wheelchair movement inside the cabin reduces the likelihood of contact with the wall or door while in transit.

  • Future Ready

    • Wheelchair-friendly residential elevators provide an accessibility option that accommodates the changing lifestyles and mobility needs of users over time and into the future.
