Frequently Asked Questions

RESiLIFT® models are compact and designed with a small footprint.

The smallest model, the Mirage, has a footprint of 1040 mm (W) × 770 mm (D). Its size allows it to fit into almost any home, including spaces such as a linen cupboard or even positioned on an angle in a corner. It is ideal for integrating into existing floorplans that were not originally designed to include a lift.

The largest model, the Miracle Max, is suitable for wheelchair use while still maintaining a compact footprint of 1040 mm (W) × 1370 mm (D). We can customise the depth of the lift car to any size between 770 mm and 1370 mm deep. The width of 1040 mm at the guide rails cannot be altered.

For new builds, the recommended “provision for future lift” dimensions are:

1200 mm × 1200 mm for the Miracle

1200 mm (W) × 1500 mm (D) for the Miracle Max

For owners of multi-level dwellings, installing a residential lift is arguably the most transformative upgrade you can undertake to make your home more accessible and liveable through your retirement years. Elevators Provide a Safer Alternative to Stairs Falls on or from stairs are a significant cause of injury in the home. It’s easy to slip or miss a step while going downstairs, especially when carrying heavy items like groceries, laundry, or suitcases. If you plan to enjoy your retirement in a double-story home, addressing the issue of stairs is crucial, as a fall can dramatically affect your plans.
