There are many different types of residential elevators, and each has different requirements for the foundation, which will be reflected in the cost of the residential elevators.
The main types of home elevators are: hydraulic elevators, traction elevators, and screw elevators.
Hydraulic elevators - The working principle is that the air pump delivers hydraulic oil to the jack, and then the piston at the bottom pushes the elevator up and down. Based on a standard installation, the typical floor-standing price of a basic hydraulic home elevator is between $22,000 and $26,000. Hydraulic elevators require a separate machine room, so they require a lot of space, and they have more consumables and higher maintenance costs, which also drives up the long-term price of hydraulic elevators.
Traction elevators - which use cables and counterweights to move the elevator up and down a shaft - are slightly more expensive than hydraulic elevators, with a typical installation costing between $26,000 and $30,000.
Screw Elevator - The working principle is that the nut and screw interact to move the elevator shaft. This type of elevator is safer and more expensive, with a standard installation cost between 30,000 and 40,000.
Vitarte home elevators use self-supporting rails, without the need for a shaft, pit or machine room. Vitarte elevators occupy a small area and only need about 1 square meter to install, and can be installed almost anywhere in the home. Vitarte home elevators are affordable and have a low cost based on standard installation, making them very suitable for home installation and use.
