Yes! The federal government's HomeBuilder's Grant, makes it even easier to install a RESiLIFT which is already the most affordable residential elevator on the market in Australia.

Whether your renovation is a building extension to your home or a refurb, a RESiLIFT® can be easily installed and be part of your HomeBuilder project.

To be eligible for the grant the home building work needs to be at least $150,000.  Adding a RESiLIFT to your plans could help you reach this amount.  The subsidy is for up to $25,000 which is almost the price of the lift. The government grant is only for a limited time, so best to organise your quote as soon as possible.

RESiLIFT® are the smallest residential lifts on the market.  The smallest RESiLIFT® is the Mirage and has a footprint of only 1040mm x 850mm. The Mirage can fit in almost any home in places like a linen cupboard or on an angle in the corner of the room.  It is ideal for fitting into existing floorplans that did not contemplate including a lift.

The largest RESiLIFT® is the Miracle Max.  This is sufficiently large for a wheelchair, but still only takes 1040mm X 1350mm.  We are able to customise for any size in between these measurements except for the 1040 at the guiderails which cannot be altered.

The RESiLIFT® has very little impact on your home due to its unique design.  Firstly it is compact to reduce the impact on the floorplan and the structure.  The transparent design allows you to see the décor through the lift.  Thanks to the unique through floor design,  if you wish you can send the lift to the other level, it is totally out of sight except for the rails.  Your home will still look and feel just the way you want it, but with the benefits of having a safe, elegant and compact alternative to stairs.

RESiLIFT® is surprisingly quiet.  Its unique electric motor drive system is located discreetly on the top of the lift car and does not use hydraulics or loud mechanical equipment.  Clients often comment on how quiet the lift is.  Below is a video where you can hear the sound of the lift.

All RESiLIFT® models are able to carry two people or 200 kgs.  The Miracle is walker-friendly and the Miracle Max is able to take a wheelchair, but not necessarily a carer at the same time.

There are three standard sizes of RESiLIFT®.  The smallest lift is called the Mirage.  It has a rounded design and one entrance.  The medium sized lift is called a Miracle.  The Miracle is walker-friendly model which comes with either one or two entry/exits.   The largest is called a Miracle Max which can accommodate a person in a wheelchair, this too has one or two entry/exits.

Our lifts are limited to just two floors at this stage, but you have the option of multiple lifts to service more than two floors. These can be placed creatively around the home, or if your property is split level, we can modify a lift to suit.

This invention by Peter van Emmerik was so unique that there was not an easy way to describe how the lift worked.  Now this style of lift is known as a “through-floor” lift.  As the lift travels up through the floor, it picks up the cover over the hole in the upper floor and carried it until the top of its run. On lowering, the lid is left behind sealing the upper floor, preventing anything from falling through the opening.

The hoist travels with the RESiLIFT® and is positioned above the ceiling, so there is no need to separate motor housing.  It works on two cables which wind on and off the hoist.

It runs off a standard domestic 10 amp electric power outlet.

The lift itself is usually installed over two days.  One to install the guiderails and the other to install the hoist and lift car.  This does not count the time for any building modifications required to prepare the penetration.

The current lead time for your RESiLIFT® will depend on the model chosen and any customisations needed, but typically a RESiLIFT® can be delivered within 2-4 weeks. The timing of the installation is contingent upon the building works being completed.
