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).

DESIGN FEATURES
SHAFT-FREE
RESiLIFT was the original through-floor elevator. This means the lift does not require a shaft and has less impact on a home, especially when retrofitted. It can easily fit most into almost any established home or added to floor plans for a new home.
It also means the lift is almost invisible, especially when on the other level. And, as the lift is electric, it is very quiet and reliable, which is a great advantage compared to hydraulic and other lift styles.
The RESiLIFT’s simple design and engineering enhance reliability and safety when used according to instructions.
LOW MAINTENANCE FEES
We pride ourselves on the reliability of our product. Provided the annual service is conducted, it is reasonable to expect that there would not be any other maintenance charges during the year.
Because we are truly local, there won't be any waiting around for parts to come from another country, plus the expertise and knowledge are local. All these features reinforce why RESiLIFT® is the smartest purchase to make.
ENERGY EFFICIENT
The RESiLIFT® has been designed to use minimal energy. It simply plugs into a standard 10 amp powerpoint and uses less power than a toaster!
This not only keeps running costs to a bare minimum, but installation costs don't require expensive electrical upgrading, saving on costly electrician fees.
DUAL ENTRY
The Miracle and Miracle Max are available in single and dual entries/exits. This provides the customer with an option installing the lift in different locations, and simply walking through (or rolling through if in a wheelchair) the lift in the one direction.

The idea of the lift was conceived when it was proposed to Peter Van Emmerik by his son Andrew, that in view of the ageing population and the absence of a lift suitable for residential use, a market for this product would emerge and that it would provide Peter with a challenging retirement project at age 67. The options were evaluated and it was concluded that to make the lift economic and blend in with the home decor as a retro fit was to make it free standing by eliminating the enclosures and enclosure doors. It was discovered that the Australian Standards Commission had also foreseen the emerging need and had composed and issued a Standard AS 1735 part 15 to meet this need. The “thru lift” concept was birthed at this very time. The next challenge was to have the entire lift motor, wire rope system, control boards etc. within the 300 mm high space between the cabin ceiling and the home ceiling to avoid penetrating the upper floor ceiling into the roof space.
