Perth Home Lifts

Perth Home Lifts: Your Most-Asked Questions, Fully Answered

At Lift Shop, we don’t just install lifts, we elevate lifestyles. And in Perth, where coastal vibes meet contemporary architecture, the demand for home elevators is booming. Whether you’re in a seaside villa in Cottesloe or a multi-level abode in the Perth Hills, you likely have questions, and we’re here to answer them clearly, honestly, and in depth.

• How much does a home lift cost in Perth?
  Prices start from around $40,000 for a basic two-stop hydraulic A-Series model. In Perth, where customisation and additional floors are common, the price typically ranges from $50,000+ depending on specifications.
  
  This includes supply, standard installation, testing, and handover. Builder works, such as shaft construction or electrical upgrades, are separate but we’ll coordinate with your team. Our electric models (like the C-Series and E-Series) have ultra-low running costs using single-phase power, and all quotes are fixed for 12 months with transparent terms and minimal upfront payments.
  
  Perth homeowners, especially in suburbs like Subiaco and Nedlands, view a lift as a value-adding upgrade that improves lifestyle and increases resale appeal. Book a consultation to get a quote tailored to your space and plans.
• What’s the best small-space elevator for Perth homes?
  The C-Series electric traction lift is our go-to for compact homes and tight spaces — especially in Perth’s heritage homes or narrow new builds.
  
  It requires just a 190mm pit, no machine room, and fits inside small shafts with ease. Despite the size, it carries up to four people (300 kg), travels at 0.29 m/s, and operates at quiet levels under 50 dB.
  
  Custom finishes such as mirrored glass, stainless steel, or soft timber laminates make it a seamless fit for both period and contemporary interiors. It also includes our exclusive in-cabin self-rescue system, a Perth favourite for peace of mind.
  
  If your home’s compact but your expectations aren’t, the C-Series is built for you.
• Are electric or hydraulic home lifts better for my Perth house?
  Both have their strengths, the right choice depends on your home type and priorities.
  
  Electric lifts (C-Series, E-Series) are ideal for:
  • New builds or high-end renovations
  • Energy-conscious homeowners (regenerative tech saves power)
  • Quiet, low-maintenance operation
  • Homes with solar power or compact shafts
  Hydraulic lifts (A-Series) work best when:
  • Retrofitting into older homes with tricky access
  • You want strong lifting capacity at a lower upfront cost
  • Minimal pit depth is needed (from 150mm)
  Both types are engineered for Perth’s hot summers and coastal breezes, with no performance issues during heatwaves or windy conditions. Each includes self-rescue features and meets AS1735 standards.
• What safety features come with residential lifts from Lift Shop in Perth?
  All Lift Shop lifts are built with safety at their core. Key features include:
  • In-cabin self-rescue system
  • Emergency communication
  • Automatic descent during power outages

  • Overload sensors and anti-slip flooring
  We go above and beyond AS1735 standards and invite all clients to see these features in action at our Belmont showroom. Perth families especially value our child- and senior-safe designs.
• How long is the warranty on Lift Shop home lifts in Perth?
