When people choose a home elevator, they are most concerned about the safety of the elevator. How to choose a safe and reliable small home elevator? The following is a detailed introduction to the characteristics of small home elevators, the selection method of small home elevators and the cost estimation.

When choosing a home elevator, we should pay most attention to safety issues. So how do we choose a safe and reliable small home elevator? Below BDFUJI will give you a detailed introduction to the characteristics, common types, selection method and cost estimation of small home elevators.

Advantages and characteristics of small home elevators

Size and space requirements: Small home elevators occupy a small area, generally between 1-2㎡, and are suitable for installation in private homes.

Load capacity: Although called “small”, the load capacity of these elevators for home use can usually meet the needs of ordinary families, and the general load capacity is between 250 kg and 400 kg.

Running speed: The running speed of home elevators is slower than that of commercial elevators, mainly because home elevators pay more attention to the safety and comfort of users, and the running speed is generally 0.15-0.3m/s.

Power consumption: Nowadays, small home elevators focus on energy consumption, so most of them adopt energy-saving and environmentally friendly technologies, which can maintain low energy consumption while providing services to users.

Safety performance: Home elevators are usually equipped with a variety of safety facilities, such as emergency stop buttons, backup batteries, overload protection devices, anti-pinch functions, emergency calls, etc., to ensure the safety of passengers in the elevator when encountering dangerous situations.

Appearance design: Modern home elevators are more about combining aesthetics and functions. Different design appearances can be selected according to the home style, and can also be customized according to personal preferences.

What types of small home elevators are there?

Currently, in the elevator market, there are three mainstream technical solutions for making elevators small but with large car bodies and high space utilization:

One is a screw elevator, which is driven by a screw nut pair, so the car top wheel, counterweight, etc. are omitted, and the space utilization is high.

One is an external host, such as a strong drive elevator and a hydraulic elevator: the host is placed outside the shaft to save shaft space;

One is a small shaft technology elevator, which uses a steel belt and an inner rotor elevator, with a small internal size, and then the space utilization rate of the parallel lane is increased.

Types of small home elevator cars

Glass car

Glass car is a popular car type in the field of home elevators. Its exterior light is more beautiful and can be better combined with the home environment. It is more transparent and not oppressive, and is very suitable for small residential installation. In addition, BDFUJI uses a laminated glass elevator, which can make the elevator more solid and safer. You can click here to view the detailed model: glass elevator.

Fully enclosed car

Fully enclosed car is a very classic style, suitable for a variety of application scenarios. If you need to carry large items frequently and worry that the glass elevator is not firm, the fully enclosed car is a very suitable choice.

How to choose a small home elevator

Before installing the elevator, you can find a professional surveyor to come to your home to decide where to install the small elevator in the home. The installation location and size are further determined by the surveyor. The employees decide which small elevator to install in the home by further checking the structure of the house and the surrounding geographical environment.

Before installing a small home elevator, you also need to determine the size of the elevator. The size of the elevator is mainly determined by factors such as load and load. Before installation, the needs of the residents must be clarified to further determine the size of the elevator.

When choosing a small home elevator, you should also understand its energy consumption. Most users will choose energy-saving and low-energy elevators. Because the elevator is running for a long time, the owner must pay attention to the energy consumption of the elevator.

Users need to understand the elevator controller in advance, different models, different controllers. So when users choose a small home elevator, they also need to understand the control methods of these elevators.

What is the cost of a small elevator?

In fact, we cannot give you a clear quotation before we get the detailed specifications and elevator requirements, but I can give you a rough price range

• Traction ladder: 95,000-160,000 [without shaft];
• Traction ladder: 80,000-140,000 [with shaft];
• Screw ladder: imported 220,000-350,000

ps: The above prices are calculated based on 4 floors and 4 stations, and there will be some optional functions that cause price changes. The price change depends on the brand effect, the details of the workmanship, and the fierceness of local competition.

What are the factors that affect the price of home elevators?

There are many factors that affect the price of elevators. In summary, the following three factors are the most relevant:

1. The type of ladder you choose

Different ladder types have different prices. For example, if you are like Tongquetai + 5 floors, the size of the parallel channel is sufficient, and there is 1,600 space, the installation of the gantry traction ladder type is basically 100,000-150,000. If you have a two-story house or a superstructure like many in Gusu District, the installation of a strong drive elevator costs between 120,000 and 170,000 yuan, and the installation of a screw elevator costs between 180,000 and 290,000 yuan. [The above are all costs]

2. The shaft you choose

There are many types of elevator shafts, the most common three are brick-concrete shafts + aluminum alloy shafts + steel structure shafts +. Among them, the comprehensive cost of steel structure shafts and concrete is not much, and the average cost of aluminum alloy shafts is 40,000 to 60,000 yuan higher; so if you want to install a sightseeing elevator, the price will be higher than that of a conventional elevator. There are also some smaller sizes or some townhouses such as Palm Garden, Yinshan Lake + Dushu Bay, and courtyard villas such as Shantang Chunxiao. In order to save space, the sightseeing elevator + is preferred, which saves 30-60 cm of space size compared to normal villa elevators

3. The brand you choose

To be honest, don’t pay too much attention to the elevator brand. The elevators on the market are all assembled parts, so whether the money you spend on the brand is worth it requires you to carefully analyze and compare.

The above is all about small home elevators, including home elevator characteristics, selection methods and cost estimation. In short, we must consider various factors when installing a small home elevator. More importantly, we must start from the structure of the house and choose a small elevator of appropriate size to ensure the safe and stable operation of the elevator.
