Choosing to install a lift in a house or building can offer several advantages for residents. However, it is important to take certain considerations into account to ensure the safety and proper functioning of this type of equipment. Here, we will discuss the different features, benefits, and advice for selecting and installing a lift in your home.

Features of a home lift:

To choose a lift suitable for the needs of the residents, it is necessary to determine the capacity and dimensions of the desired lift. These lifts are designed to facilitate the transport of heavy and bulky objects between the floors of a house or building. Specifications may vary according to the intended use:

• Scissor lift: equipped with a scissor lifting system, ideal for small loads.
• Column lift: with a column lifting mechanism, allows for the transport of heavy loads over a greater height.
• Shaft lift: using a pulley and winch system, for installation in an elevator shaft or a confined space.
• Self-supporting lift: requiring no supporting structure, ideal for integration into existing spaces without major modifications.

Advice for choosing and installing a lift:

To ensure compliance with current standards and to ensure a secure installation, it is advisable to follow certain recommendations when choosing and installing a home lift:

Determine the available space:

The minimum dimensions for the installation of a lift are approximately 70 x 80 cm on the ground and 2.50 m in height for the next floor. If you plan to install a lift for a wheelchair, allow for larger space, such as 1.20 m2 of ground clearance and a cabin measuring 65 x 90 cm or 110 x 140 cm for larger spaces.
