What Is a Home Lift & Why It Matters
A “home lift” is essentially a compact elevator designed for private residential settings – think single-family homes, multi-generational households, homes with elderly or mobility-challenged occupants, or luxury properties seeking premium convenience.
Key reasons why homeowners are choosing home lifts:
- Accessibility: Enables people with limited mobility to move easily between floors without relying solely on stairs.
- Future-proofing: As families age or needs change, an installed home lift adds long-term usability to the home.
- Space efficiency & design value: Modern home lifts such as the Aritco series can be sleek, stylish and integrate seamlessly with interior design. Aritco+2Aritco+2
- Comfort & convenience: Elevation becomes effortless – carrying groceries, luggage, or just reducing stair-traffic becomes simpler.
- Estate value: Homes equipped for accessibility often appeal to a broader set of buyers or renters, especially in luxury or ageing-in-place segments.
Given these benefits, selecting the right system is vital – one that balances space‐requirements, aesthetics, safety, budget and maintenance.

How to Evaluate a Home Lift for Your Property
When you’re considering a home lift, here are key decision-factors to guide you:
1. Space & layout
- How many floors will the lift serve (2, 3, 4…)?
- What is the available shaft (or wall) space, pit depth, head-room? The compact models shrink these requirements.
- Will the lift require a separate machine-room or can it be an MRL (machine‐room‐less) design? Many modern home lifts like Aritco are self-contained.
2. Capacity & user profile
- Will it be primarily used by elderly/family members, or by all occupants regularly?
- Do you need wheelchair-accessible capacity or extra-space for goods (e.g., furniture, deliveries)?
- Choose the model accordingly – standard, compact, or “Access”.
3. Design & finishes
- Given that the lift is part of your home interior, how does it fit in with your décor? Do you want it to blend or stand out as a luxury feature?
- Leverage the customisation options (colours, wall finishes, glass walls, lighting).
4. Safety, regulations & maintenance
- Ensure certifications and compliance (safety systems, emergency lowering, backup power).
- Assess service network: With Eros Elevators’ branch network, local support in Indian context improves uptime.
- Consider longterm costs: maintenance, parts availability, energy consumption (screw & nut systems tend to be efficient).
5. Budget & ROI
- Home lifts are premium investments. While exact cost depends on model, options and floors, ROI may come in improved home comfort, accessibility, property value and future-proofing.
- Ask for full proposal including civil works, finishing, shaft prep, power supply etc.
