Key Benefits

Quick, low-impact installation

The ready-made shaft means you don’t need to build a concrete lift shaft, reducing construction disruption. Low structural impact makes it particularly suitable for retrofit projects or sensitive buildings.

Space-efficient, compact installation

The A5000 doesn’t require a deep pit (just 50 mm) or a separate machine room — the machinery is built into the shaft wall

Accessibility and design flexibility

Platform sizes accommodate wheelchairs, walkers, prams, and even some mobility scooters. The cabin is user-friendly and safe: there are hold-to-run controls, safety edges on all sides, and an emergency stop.
