The A Series suits retrofits and tight footprints, carrying 5 people across 2 to 6 levels at 0.30 m/s. The C Series is the compact option, carrying 4 people at the same speed and travel. The E Series is the flagship, carrying 7 people at up to 0.60 m/s. Every series is custom built in Italy and covered by an 8-year warranty.
The A Series is the best fit for narrow shafts and tight spaces. It needs a pit from 150mm, offers flexible cabin dimensions, and accepts either swing or sliding doors.
The A Series carries 5 persons at 300 to 400kg, travels at 0.30 m/s, serves 2 to 6 levels and needs a pit from 150mm. The C Series carries 4 persons at 350kg, travels at 0.30 m/s, serves 2 to 6 levels and needs a pit from 150mm. The E Series carries 7 persons at 450kg, travels at up to 0.60 m/s, serves 2 to 6 levels and needs a pit from 270mm.
Pit depth follows the drive system. The A Series and C Series need a pit from 150mm. The E Series needs 270mm to house its gearless counterweight arrangement. A shallower pit means less excavation and less builder work, so it costs less to build.
Included: supply, installation, testing, handover, custom aluminium scaffolding, In Cabin Self Rescue, a GSM emergency phone, one month of free storage, your initial servicing period and the 8-year warranty. Quoted separately: builder works such as the shaft, the pit, structural modifications and power supply.
No Lift Shop lift needs a dedicated machine room. The A Series does need a separate machine cabinet for its hydraulic pump and motor, measuring 700 x 450 x 1800mm. That cabinet can sit in joinery, under the stairs, in a basement or another suitable location. The C Series and E Series use compact cabinets placed alongside the shaft.
The A Series runs on 32A single-phase, the C Series on 15A and the E Series on 25A. All three run on standard domestic single-phase power, so most homes need no three-phase upgrade.
Every Lift Shop series serves 2 to 6 levels. The A Series travels up to 15.1m across 6 floors.
Yes. Single openings are standard and the most cost-effective. Opposite openings suit through-cabin traffic. Adjacent openings suit corner installations. Swing and sliding doors are available across the range.
One-Touch means you press the button once and the lift travels to the floor on its own. Hold-to-Run means you hold the button down for the whole journey. Lift Shop includes One-Touch as standard.
Most clients invest between $60,000 and $120,000, fully installed. That covers supply, installation, testing, handover, custom aluminium scaffolding, In Cabin Self Rescue, a GSM emergency phone, one month of free storage, your initial servicing period and the 8-year warranty. Your quote is then fixed for 12 months under the Price Lock.
Every Lift Shop lift carries an 8-year warranty as standard. It is an inclusion on every lift, not a paid extension, and it is conditional on regular servicing.
The best way to understand the differences between lift drives is to visit one of our showrooms. Speed, sound levels, pit depth, capacity and overall feel vary between systems. Our team will guide you through the differences between the A, C and E Series so you can choose the right option for your home, layout and budget.
Yes. Modern residential lifts are among the safest powered equipment in a home. Every Lift Shop lift includes a battery backup that automatically travels the lift to the nearest floor and opens the doors if mains power fails, a concealed emergency phone connected to a 24-hour line, In Cabin Self Rescue, and door interlocks that stop the lift moving unless every door is closed. Every lift is installed to Australian Standards and carries an 8-year warranty as standard.
If mains power is lost, the battery backup travels the lift to the nearest landing and opens the doors so you can step out. You are never trapped inside. A concealed emergency phone, kept charged from the mains, connects you to a 24-hour assistance line if you need help. Lift Shop fits the emergency phone and In Cabin Self Rescue as standard inclusions, not paid extras.
Lift Shop lifts are designed to fit tight spaces, small enough to slot into a stairwell void, a stacked-cupboard space, or a corner of a room. The A Series suits the tightest shafts because it needs no separate machine room and only a shallow pit. Book a showroom visit to stand inside the smallest cabin before you decide.
A home lift needs a small shaft footprint, a shallow pit and headroom at the top floor. Because Lift Shop lifts need no separate machine room, you do not lose a cupboard or a room elsewhere in the house. Exact requirements depend on cabin size and door configuration. Our team confirms the precise dimensions for your home as part of a no-obligation site assessment.
No. A residential lift runs on a standard household power supply and only draws power during the seconds it is actually moving, so the day-to-day running cost is modest. A Lift Shop lift connects to a normal single-phase domestic circuit, so most homes need no three-phase upgrade. Your Lift Shop consultant confirms the exact power requirement for your chosen model.
They solve different problems. A stairlift is cheaper and faster to fit, but it follows the staircase, seats one person, and reads as a mobility aid. A home lift is fully enclosed, carries people, wheelchairs, prams and shopping between floors, future-proofs the home, and reads as an architectural feature. If the need is short-term, a stairlift may suit. If you plan to stay in the home long-term, a home lift is the better choice. Lift Shop specialises in home lifts and backs every one with an 8-year warranty.
