Residential Elevators – Home Elevator By PVE®

PVE30 – Residential Elevator

As the world’s smallest elevator, the PVE30 HOME ELEVATOR has quickly found its place as the ultimate space-saving solution for any home. If you are in need of an affordable alternative to stairs, but are limited in space.

Single Passenger Home Elevators

The PVE30 is the smallest elevator in the world, yet it is just as capable as other elevators that are much larger and much more expensive. The PVE30 elevator has a 350lb (159kg) lift capacity and is capable of up to 50 ft. (15m) of rise over as many as five stops. With a 30 inch outside diameter, these elevators are small enough to fit in even the most modest-sized home. If you thought elevators were out of reach for you because of size constraints, this is the solution you have been looking for.

No Pre-Construction Pit, Hoist Way or Machine Room Required

The PVE 30 Home Lift was designed as a compact and cost-effective alternative to taking the stairs, and are ideal elevators for townhouses and other tight areas where traditional elevators wouldn’t even be a consideration. As the smallest of the three vacuum elevator models, it only requires a 32-inch finished through floor hole for the elevator cylinder (and you!) to pass through. Rather than requiring a large elevator shaft, this self-contained home lift rests on the existing ground floor and provides a beautiful panoramic view as you travel from floor to floor within your home. During the ascent or descent, you will enjoy cool, ambient temperatures as a cabin fan circulates the air in the cabin and an LED light keeps the cabin lit.

Eco‐Friendly
Home Elevators

Just because it is small doesn’t mean these elevators are any less capable or any less quality-made. It is manufactured from polycarbonate and aluminum, making it one of the best elevators on the market today. Place your confidence in our air-driven elevators and you won’t be disappointed.

Precision Engineering

All that is needed to power this mighty elevator is 220V, 25 Amp, single phase service. This is roughly the same as what your washer and dryer use. From an environmental and cost-saving standpoint, this mobility solution draws the least amount of electricity out of all our home lift models. Just like the other models in our lineup, these elevators do not even use electricity to descend. Not only will your life be a lot easier now that you can avoid the stairs, but your electric bill will barely change!

Space-Saving, Easy to Use Home Elevators with Low Maintenance

This compact vacuum elevator system is the choice of many homeowners because of its small size, but that’s not its only advantage. PVE30 home elevators offer several benefits for homeowners who use a wheelchair to get around or have other mobility issues. There’s the ease of maintaining this compact pneumatic elevator: Because vacuum elevators use air pressure to operate, thus eliminating the need for shafts or machine rooms, they also have fewer moving parts — which means less maintenance.

What Are the Maintenance Requirements For the PVE30 Home Elevators?

When shopping for small elevators for homes, cost and installation are two of the main considerations. The PVE30 in home elevator installation is much quicker and less impactful than traditional elevators. To install elevator in house takes 1-3 days, and the impact on your home is minimal. Any maintenance required for these home elevators is always expedient and minimally invasive to your daily schedule. A manufacturer’s study shows that pneumatic elevators need maintenance once every 5 years, or about 15,000 lifts, to replace the main seal.

testimonials

I thoroughly enjoy riding in my PVE elevator as its extremely comfortable… I would unhesitatingly, recommend it to people who are confined to a wheelchair like myself, to me it’s that good and reliable!

Tamara Gordon

My house was built in 1925 and it was hard to get something to fit in with the décor of my home, but the PVE fit in perfectly. I am thrilled with the design, engineering, and reliability of the elevator by PVE.

Stan Barth

Highly recommend. Working with PVE was such an incredible experience! From our very first meeting they were so professional, time efficient & helpful. Couldn’t be happier. Our elevator is heaven sent. Thank you PVE & team.

Home Lift Manufacturers

Pneumatic Vacuum Elevators LLC is the designer and manufacturer of the vacuum elevator.

PVE currently manufactures three versions of its air driven home elevators, ranging from single to a three-passenger, wheelchair accessible home elevator. All of PVE’s home lift systems are capable of up to a 50 foot (15m) vertical rise over as many as five stops. The unique design of our home lift is a perfect choice for any retrofit or new construction project and will enhance the value of one’s home without the consuming footprint of traditional elevator. These innovative home lifts do not require any pre-construction shaft, pit or machine room and can be installed in as little as two to three days. By using a pump to generate areas of higher and lower atmospheric pressure within the cylinder hoist way, the unit smoothly moves between floors while using much less energy than other house elevators.
