Small Home Elevators to Age in Place

by | Jul 24, 2024 | Elevators, Lifts

While you may associate a home elevator as large, loud and expensive, RAM Elevators + Lifts has designed varying price points for accessibility that can fit in even smaller homes without accosting your home with noise pollution and bad smells. RAM’s goal is to provide mobility solutions to facilitate the opportunity to age in place that functions without compromising the integrity of your home. Our small elevators for homes are designed specifically to ride smoothly without harsh chemical smells. Are you looking to age in place in the near future? Read more below about our small elevators and how they can create a safe space for you to age in place.

Cost-Saving Features

Your RAM elevator comes with cost-saving benefits that comparable products cannot meet. With the Crystal, you can save up to 50% on electricity use thanks to our fully counterbalanced traction drive. Instead of full energy use, our elevators utilize a counterweight electric drive system for higher efficiency and to save you money. In addition, you will find that RAM’s selection of small elevators for homes does not need a full pit construction; instead, choose between a 2” pit and a 2” ramp for flush access. We build each elevator to be self-contained and with low overhead clearance, reducing the amount of invasive construction required. Lastly, by installing a small elevator now for your current use, you open your property’s future buyer audience to include people with accessibility needs. With such a small market with mobility aids, the value of your home increases.

Fit For Any Space

If you have a five-by-five foot space in your home that you could go without, you have room for the Stratus. Any small area in your home, such as a closet, can be re-designated to encompass your new elegant transportation. Low overhead clearance and self-containing mean more than reduced construction but also less room that you need to dedicate to such necessary accessibility. The maximum size for the Stratus platform is 40” by 60”, which can fit in almost any home with some thought and planning.

Safety Features for Families

When it comes to family visiting—especially when this involves young children—you may be wondering if our small elevators for homes are safe for children to be around. While we do not advocate for children using the elevator without adult supervision, we do have the option of installing a key lock that prohibits the elevator from moving unless the key is turned. This key, in turn, can be kept out of reach of the children for their safety. The elevators do have a power failsafe and will not open until it is safe for the user to exit. We can use a Q-fold gate with the door to prevent small children from entering the elevator, and we can make further modifications if you’d like.
