Minivator

The Minivator® through-the-floor lift has been making life better for people who:

  • Have limited space in their homes for a home elevator
  • Don't want (or can't have) more complicated construction issues
  • Don't need the expense of a higher-end model of home elevator
  • Need a lightning-fast installation

A 100% self-contained unit, the Minivator doesn't need a pit, machine room, or hoistway to take up your valuable living space, and ensures the structural impact on your home is minimized.

And in case you're wondering about the pathway between the two floors, the Minivator allows you to safely walk on the floor cover when the elevator is at the lower level, and is attractively concealed no matter which floor it's on. The Minivator was designed to open up your valuable living space - and it truly delivers on that promise!

Volant

Continuing a long line of innovation, ThyssenKrupp Access debuted the new Volant home elevator last week at the International Builders Show in Orlando, FL.

The Volant impressed everyone who took it for a lift. The Volant uses the latest in "gearless" motor technology, which allows for the ultra smooth start and stop that people are used to in a hydraulic elevator, but providing it in a tiny, space saving footprint.

The Volant requires NO machine Room, and only a 12" pit below the floor. It comes in 3 standard sizes and countless custom options. It's also available in 5 different entry/exit combinations and can travel up to 5 stops!

That means you can have convenience of an elevator picking you up in the basement, moving up 3 more stories of your home and dropping you off in your attic. Moving items around the house has never been less of a hassle.

Don't forget you can also couple the Volant drive system with one of ThyssenKrupp Access' luxurious Signet cabs to give you the option of glass walls, marble accents and flooring, fine hardwoods and more!
