Frequently Asked Questions
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.
When the lift is being installed as part of a new build, the ideal dimensions for any 'provision for future lift' are 1070X1200 for the Miracle models and 1070 X 1500 for the Miracle Max models
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.
We understand that some customers require a lift urgently. In these situations, we try to provide a short turnaround time. Please discuss timelines with your salesperson who will be aware of the installation schedule at their local distributorship.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Ken R, Mt Waverley
The whole RESILIFT experience has been an enjoyable stress free one which I have no problem at all, in highly recommending to others if queried re. same.
Stephen H, Portarlington, Miracle
The lift has been absolutely fantastic for my parents. They have been able to enjoy their lovely upstairs views and amities which otherwise would no longer be unavailable to them. My whole family appreciates the great benefit the lift has been for my parents.
Ian & Adele H, Mirage RESiLIFT owners, Carlingford, NSW
Installing this lift has made such a difference, no more piles of washing waiting to be taken downstairs or carried upstairs. It has made our house complete and it has taken no time for us to “just go by lift”. Carrying laundry upstairs was one step at a time, now the basket is in the lift and we are there. Thank you! Ian would not have been able to use the stairs now and it has made such a difference he can just “go downstairs”.
Joseph & Raj E, Mirage RESiLIFT owners, Parkville, VIC.
The complete installation was affordable as we are a retired couple.The installation of this lift was compact and has made our life comfortable and now we’re able to stay in our own Townhouse. We were very pleased with the staff including the excellent after sales service.
Ann B, Miracle RESiLIFT owner, Melbourne, VIC.
Resilift.. wonderful. I never thought it would be so fantastic. We had it installed from the garage,(where my husband spends a lot of time!) up into the laundry in the first floor living area. I used to dread going up and down the stairs. Now with the lift it is just like going into another room. With the press of a button, you cannot imagine how easy things can be, no more lugging up 25 kg bags of potting mix, no more gouging the walls bringing the ladder up. As it has a remote, my husband can put our small […]
Bill and Thersa R, Miracle RESiLIFT owners, Dromana, VIC.
We are just one couple, of doubtless many hundreds who have benefited from your Father’s expertise and drive to develop ResiLifts. That it is an Aussie company from Tasmania adds hugely to my admiration.Therefore, I would like you to pass on to him, my personal gratitude for his original endeavour, our satisfaction with the lift, and the service we have received from you all.
Janie and Phil R, Mirage RESiLIFT owners, Port Melbourne VIC.
We would like to thank you for the excellent work and service you provided to us when we were in a tight spot and needed an installation very quickly, due to Phil’s fall. You bent over backwards to get the lift intact, prior to his return from hospital. We have had nothing but satisfaction with the unit (even the cat likes it!) We would highly recommend your unit, installation and service to anyone considering a home lift.
Joseph E, Mirage RESiLIFT owner, Parkville, VIC.
It has been a pleasure dealing with you & your company. We are very grateful for the prompt attention & wonderful service – The lift makes our life very comfortable living in our home.
