Types of glass home elevators
There are various types of glass home elevators in the market, the following are some common types:
Machine Roomless Elevator (MRL)

With simple structure and quick installation, it is suitable for modernization and upgrading of elevators in homes.
Home Elevator without Shaft

This type of elevator is a great space saver and is especially suitable for renovation of old homes or homes with compact spaces.
Hydraulic Glass Elevator
Hydraulic glass elevators are hydraulically driven for smooth and quiet lifting and lowering, with a high degree of operating comfort and a high load capacity. They are usually used in low-rise houses or villas with plenty of space, and have higher requirements on installation space and foundation load-bearing.
