Affordable home elevators with safety features

The RESiLIFT® was specifically designed so people could safely stay in their two-story or split-level home and eliminate the danger of stairs and at the same time offer the most affordable home elevators on the market.

Invented by Tasmanian Engineer Peter van Emmerik, the award-winning RESiLIFT® remains one of Australia’s most affordable and reliable home elevators. “I designed this elevator so people could stay safely in the home they love,” says Peter. “It saves time, effort and money that would otherwise be wasted moving home. It also removes the emotional anguish of being uprooted from your family home.”

There are numerous RESiLIFT® safety features. Firstly, the home elevator operates with continuous pressure, giving the operator complete control of the journey for the whole way. There is also an isolating key to turn off the entire home elevator unit in case of occasions that you would like to stop the elevator from being used (especially when the grandkids are over).

The shaftless design means a safety lid covers the upstairs opening when the elevator is on the lower floor. There are pressure sensitive safety surfaces which stop the elevator if there is an obstruction above or below, as well as sensors at the top and bottom of the entrance preventing the elevator travelling when anything is across the entrance.

Another safety feature is the home elevator can be safely lowered in the event of a power outage.

There is also a safety barrier and a half-height lift car door to enclose the operator during travel. As well as automatic LED lighting inside the elevator.

There is a grab rail to hold for anyone feeling unstable and an option for a foldaway chair if desired.

Overall, a RESiLIFT® is safer than the stairs, and an easy, hassle-free solution that future-proofs homes empowering people to stay in their homes. “It’s such a relief! Now I know we can stay in our home! We love it!” says Margot who installed a home elevator from RESiLIFT®.

While we've packed in all the safety features you could want, our minimalist and simple design makes RESiLIFT the most affordable home elevators on the market. Thanks to our genius design, you don't need to compromise safety for affordability.
