Shaft Or No Shaft
Confirm whether the house already has an elevator shaft or needs a separate shaft structure planned around the existing layout.

WELLS Home Lift Planning For Private Residences And Villas
WELLS home lift planning starts with the building: available shaft space, pit and overhead limits, load capacity, door style, and cabin finish. Work with experienced elevator manufacturers when your project needs residential elevator solutions for a villa, private house, or retrofit accessibility upgrade.

Residence Constraint Map
Start With The Building, Then Select The Lift
A home lift project succeeds when the model discussion is tied to real residence constraints: shaft availability, pit depth, overhead space, door movement, and daily mobility needs.
Pit And Overhead Limits
Use pitless and low-overhead options when the residence cannot accept a traditional elevator construction envelope.
Door Movement
Discuss swing-door and automatic-door preferences early, because access direction affects landing space and daily usability.
Travel And Floors
Match the listed 12m travel height and 5-floor limit to the building before finalizing cabin size, control panels, and finishes.
Capacity is only one part of selection. A residential lift also needs the right travel height, door type, control setup, shaft treatment, and interior finish for the house.
Capacity And Technical Planning
Use The Home Lift Specification Range Carefully
The product details list three load capacities and a compact residential operating range. Treat these as starting points for layout and inquiry preparation.
| Load capacity | 250kg, 320kg, 400kg |
|---|---|
| Rated speed | 0.3-0.5 m/s |
| Maximum traveling height | 12m |
| Maximum floors | 5 |
| Traction | Permanent magnetic synchronous gearless machine |
| Door operator | VVVF door operator |
| Control | Simplex control with listed indicator/display options |
| Residential configuration | Pitless, low overhead, belt drive, swing door, and automatic door options are named on the product page. |
Finish And Interface Choices
Prepare The Cabin, Door, And Control Details Together
Home lifts sit inside private interiors, so technical planning and visible finish choices should be discussed in the same project brief.
Cabin Materials
- Hairline or mirror stainless steel
- Wood decor options
- Glass options where the layout supports them
Floor And Door Setup
- PVC, granite, or marble floor choices
- Swing-door or automatic-door discussions
- Landing space and entry direction checks
Control Interfaces
- Car operation panel preferences
- Landing operation panel preferences
- Indicator and display requirements
