Lifts Gold Coast

FAQs: Gold Coast Home Lifts, Answered Simply

• “So, how much is one of these lifts going to set me back?”
  Ballpark starts at $41K + GST for a basic two-level setup. Add more levels or luxe touches like glass walls and the cost climbs. It covers supply, install and handover. No nasty surprises. Just fixed quotes and low upfront costs. We’ll quote your Broadbeach or Surfers home properly after a site visit.
• “What lift works best if I don’t have a lot of space?”
  The C-Series electric. Squeezes into tight apartments with just a 190mm pit. Whisper-quiet, no machine room needed. Stylish glass. Safe and solar-friendly. We've installed it in plenty of high-rises nearby.
• “Should I go electric or hydraulic?”
  Electric is quiet and energy-smart. Best for multi-storeys. Hydraulic is solid and often cheaper upfront. Both work well near the coast and include self-rescue. We’ll help you choose what suits your home.
• “How safe are these lifts, really?”
  Very. In-cabin self-rescue, emergency buttons, battery backup or gravity descent in outages. Non-slip floors, overload alerts, and AS1735-compliant. You can test them at our Brisbane showroom.
• “What's the warranty like?”
  Eight years. Covers parts and labour. Built to last in coastal homes. Matched with service plans that keep your lift running smoothly for the long haul.
• “Can I even fit a lift in my place?”
  Most likely, yes. The C-Series fits into tight shafts and goes up to six levels. We’ll assess your space and take care of the details.

  Usually 2 to 3 weeks from confirmed schedule. We handle the site check, model selection, quoting, install and handover. We coordinate with your builder too. Smooth process, minimal mess.

  Yes. Brisbane showroom is just up the road. Book online or call 1800 440 714. Try our lifts, see the finishes, test the safety features in person.
• “Do these lifts need much upkeep?”
  Not much. Electric needs checks twice a year, hydraulic just once. We only service what we install. That means reliable maintenance and lower costs.
• “What's the real difference between electric and hydraulic?”
  Electric is quiet, energy-efficient and compact. Hydraulic is tough, simple and cost-effective. Both handle coastal air and come with self-rescue. We’ll guide your choice.
