Designing with a home lift.
Figures and project guidance for architects, builders, designers and occupational therapists working on Australian homes.
Let’s talk about your home
The details you need,
when you need them.
A home lift is easier to resolve on the drawings than on site. This page brings together the published figures for each model and the points to settle at each stage, for architects, builders, interior designers and occupational therapists.

What to settle,
at each stage.
Concept
Share the number of levels, who will use the lift and the space you are considering. We can talk through which model suits the brief.
Design development
Footprint, door type and finishes are settled against the plans. Allow for the lift early, because a retrofit depends on the structure and layout.
Site assessment
We inspect access and structure before installation at no charge, and recommend the most suitable configuration.
Construction
The Site Preparation Guide sets out the minimum structural requirements and is provided on order confirmation.
Handover and care
Testing and commissioning, a walkthrough for the people using the lift, and an annual service plan.

everyday movement.
The available space, the number of levels and the people using the lift are the starting points. Bring these details to your site assessment so we can discuss the right model and placement.
Start with the space.
For a new home or an existing property, our installation service begins with consultation and a site assessment.
- Available space and number of levels
- Access and mobility requirements
- Preferred finishes and door configuration
AI material study, not a specification of available finishes.
View placement ideasSafety is
never optional.
These systems are part of the Australia Lift range. Your specification sets out exactly what is fitted to your lift.
Over speed governor
Engages to stop the lift if it exceeds safe speed limits.
Battery backup
Supports safe operation and descent during a power outage.
Full-height light curtain
Infrared sensors detect obstructions across the door opening.
Weight limit sensors
Prevent operation when the load exceeds rated capacity.
Out of balance sensors
Detect uneven load distribution and halt operation.
Fall arrest mechanism
A secondary system to prevent uncontrolled descent.
