When people consider installing a home elevator, most assume that it requires a complicated and space-consuming renovation that will disrupt the structure of their homes. While traditional elevators often require pits and bulky shafts, which can make them unsuitable for many homes, RAM Elevators has been working on a solution to that very issue with their pitless designs.
Thanks to pitless elevator technology, a wider audience of homeowners now has a stylish, accessible, and space-friendly solution to their mobility concerns—no matter their layout or space constraints. So, what exactly makes a pitless elevator so revolutionary, and why are RAM Elevators a standout choice? Let’s break down the key differences between pitless and pitted elevators and how RAM can help you find convenience, style, and value in your home install.
Pitless vs. Traditional Elevators: The Key Benefits
1. No Need for Structural ModificationsTraditional elevators rely on a pit beneath the cab and a bulky shaft to house the mechanisms and motors, and for homeowners contemplating the installation of an elevator in their home, this can be a tough pill to swallow due to the costs and potential damage to a home’s foundation.
On the other hand, RAM’s pitless elevators skip the pit requirement entirely, which means no excavation, no risk of damage to your foundations or utility lines, and no need for extensive (and expensive!) construction. This makes a pitless elevator ideal for any property, from suburban homes to historic buildings.
2. Sleek, Modern Accessibility Design: One common drawback of other shaftless or compact elevators is their design, which often looks out of place in a well-designed home. Many brands offer functional but basic pitless models that don’t blend as seamlessly with modern interior design. RAM Elevators, however, takes a different approach—our pitless elevators are stylish and sleek and can be customized to suit any home’s aesthetic. RAM’s pitless options blend beautifully and enhance your property’s overall look and feel.
3. Superior Durability and Capacity: A pitless elevator from RAM isn’t just stylish; it’s also incredibly robust and well-designed. While other brands’ compact elevator solutions are designed to be temporary additions or limited in their weight capacity, RAM’s pitless elevators are built to last! Our designs offer a high weight capacity, making them suitable for passengers and heavy-duty usage, such as moving furniture, alike. Investing in a RAM pitless elevator guarantees reliable, functional, long-term performance.
4. Enhanced Property Value and Resale: Realtors and potential buyers alike can appreciate the addition of a pitless elevator, which can make a home more accessible and add long-term value without damaging the building itself. Compact elevators like RAM’s pitless models can even improve a property’s resale value, as they afford heightened accessibility and comfort without permanent structural modifications.
For buyers, it’s a bonus feature that highlights the home’s accessibility and convenience to make it stand out in a competitive real estate market. Likewise, realtors appreciate homes with compact, high-quality pitless elevators like RAM’s because they’ll attract a broader audience of potential buyers, including older adults and people with mobility needs, rather than only strictly appealing to those who need universal accessibility design.
5. Customizable to Fit Your SpaceLike every RAM product, our pitless elevators are designed with customization in mind, meaning they can adapt to any specific spatial requirements. Whether installed in a small townhouse or a large country home, RAM can tailor your pitless elevator to fit seamlessly into your home. From the size of the cab to the finishes, there are options to match any home’s style and needs. This adaptability makes our pitless elevators one of the most versatile mobility solutions available for residential use.
6. Energy Efficiency and Eco-Friendly OperationThanks to their deep shafts and mechanical demands, traditional elevators often require more energy to power and maintain. RAM’s pitless elevators, meanwhile, are engineered with energy efficiency in mind, like all of our products. They consume less power than traditional models to help homeowners reduce both their carbon footprint and their monthly energy bill. Choosing a pitless elevator is an investment in mobility and a commitment to sustainability in your home.
7. Quick and Simple InstallationUnlike traditional pitted elevators, which require extensive construction and time-consuming installations, a RAM pitless model is much faster and simpler to install. This means less disruption to your daily life and a much shorter timeline from installation to operation. In most cases, RAM’s pitless elevator solutions can be set up in a fraction of the time needed to install a conventional elevator, making them a practical choice for busy homeowners on a budget.
