Hoistway Elevators

Hoistway Elevators are housed within a vertical hoistway or shaft that runs from lowest floor to the ceiling on the top level. This hoistway is built and framed like other walls in the house Each floor has a door to access the hoistway and the elevator carriage travels up and down inside. Hoistway elevators offer more options and higher weight capacities than Through-Floor lifts and in most cases will accomodate a wheelchair user, multiple standing users or a combination of both.  Hoistway elevators are often the most practical choice when planning to build a new home.
