How Are Vacuum Elevators Powered
Vacuum elevators are commonly referred to as pneumatic elevators as they are moved up and down by air pressure alone. These vacuum elevators require no harmful gases, no oil or other lubricants to move up and down. These special elevators also do not require an elevator pit or machine room to operate, making them ideal to install in homes. Their simplicity and effectiveness make them a great choice when it comes to adding a home elevator.
With the atmospheric difference above and below the elevator cabin, you will enjoy a smooth ride going up and down. If the home loses power, the elevator will descend gently to the ground floor so you don’t have to worry about becoming trapped. These elevators are also very energy efficient, using a small amount of electricity when ascending, and none when descending.
Features of Our Vacuum Elevators
Vacuum elevators are the perfect solution for homes that have more than two levels to reach as they can travel up to 50 feet or five stops. This means you could have the elevator go down to your basement level and travel up to the third story of your home. And while you can have models that will accommodate up to three passengers, these vacuum elevators are still small enough to fit in nearly anywhere in your home without taking up too much space. They also require minimal maintenance work, providing you with years of maintenance-free usage.
All of the vacuum elevators that we install are fully tested before being put into your Daytona Beach, Kissimmee, Orlando, Palm Coast, St. Augustine, St. Cloud, or surrounding area home, and they are certified as well. The design of these vacuum elevators is also impressive and will complement any décor.
