Why every two-storey home needs a home elevator Initially associated with the aging population, residential elevators are fast becoming a lifestyle inclusion for all multi level homes. As souring land prices force developers upwards, elevators prove a safer alternative to stairs. Residential lifts are now replacing the dumb waiters being installed to take groceries from the garage to the pantry and laundry chutes previously included in luxury homes. Many people use their elevators for commuting items that are difficult on stairs such as luggage and furniture. Some use them for their sick/older pets, although this is rarely the primary reason for installation. Many people do not want to purchase double storey homes but with land prices cannot afford to have single storey, so installing an elevator resolves that problem. Who benefits from installing a home elevator? Nowadays architects will typically suggest at least a provision for a future lift in new build designs. There are also a number of lifts that can be installed for existing homes, such as the RESiLIFT®. It is not just the homeowner who benefits. Because people do not have to move home, they retain their family memories and community connections. It is much harder for older people…
Proudly Australian. Genuinely Family-Owned.
Over 20 years ago, Tasmanian engineer Peter van Emmerik invented the world’s first through-floor residential lift—now known as RESiLIFT®. Together with his wife, he pioneered a whole new industry to help people stay in the homes they love.
Today, RESiLIFT remains a family-owned and operated business. Every lift is proudly designed and made in Australia, supported by a national network of trusted, family-owned distributors who share our commitment to helping people enjoy their homes longer.
When you install a RESiLIFT, you’ll discover the many benefits this innovative elevator has to offer. Whether it’s overcoming stairs, moving heavy items, or helping loved ones move freely around the home, RESiLIFT is one of the most transformative upgrades a homeowner can make.

RESiLIFT® is Australia’s pioneer through-floor residential lift — a compact, affordable and reliable solution for overcoming the challenge of stairs in two-storey homes.
Proudly designed and made in Australia, RESiLIFT can be easily installed in both existing and new homes with minimal building works. Despite its small footprint, the lift comfortably fits two people.

An engineer's preferred home lift
Retired engineer Richard, from Port Melbourne, Victoria, shares how he and his wife Dorothy grew increasingly anxious about navigating their two-storey home. Then they discovered RESiLIFT®—Australia’s pioneer through-floor lift.
HOW WILL IT LOOK?
RESiLIFT® is an elegant solution to staying in your home. The streamline design blends in wonderfully, no matter what style of home.
The clear lift car enables you to see the décor through it and the guiderails can be matched to the wall colour to make it even less visible.
It is so discreet that customers’ friends often ask “Where is your lift?”, even though it might be right in front of them!
You can choose to have the lift free-standing or built-in, either way, it looks amazing.
WHERE CAN IT FIT?
With RESiLIFT's clever unobtrusive design, you'll find the lift will fit in many places in your home. Our trained consultants will help create the optimal location for your lift to work with the flow of your home.
If required, we can also adjust the size to fit in your house.

One important reason why RESiLIFT® is best is that it does not require a shaft, therefore the building works for installation are minimal. You'll be amazed!
RESiLIFT is the most versatile home lift on the market with a small footprint and the ability to customise some models. This is a huge advantage especially for tight spaces like townhouses.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
BLOGS
Future-proofing your home is about being prepared for whatever happens to you or your family members. As we age, the likelihood that we experience limitations to our mobility increases. It may be the result of a past injury or a new diagnosis. For people living in two-storey or split-level homes, stairs may become difficult to navigate and sometimes even dangerous. Faced with this dilemma, some people feel their only choice is to move to a single-level home. Pleased with already having a RESiLIFT installed, Lyn from Gisborne, Victoria shared her experience “I broke my leg just before Christmas one year, and having the lift was a God-send. On the other hand,” Lyn says, “When my girlfriend broke her ankle very badly and had to have an ankle fusion. Their home has very steep stairs and no bathroom downstairs. Without a lift, it was a nightmare.” RESiLIFT® is not only an affordable solution, it’s a smart choice. Because the footprint is so small, our lift can be retrofitted into existing homes with minimal impact. Many people also install our lifts in their holiday homes as they prepare for a sea or tree change. Australians are including lifts in their house designs so…
