Yes, you can! Traditional elevators typically require a deep pit at the bottom of the shaft to house machinery and safety buffers. However, modern engineering has introduced pitless elevators, which are ideal for existing homes where digging into the foundation is difficult due to basement limitations, rocky soil, or structural restrictions.

How It Works

Instead of a deep pit, these lifts use compact and advanced technology. Some systems require only a small 50mm to 100mm depression, which can be easily covered by a ramp or a single step. In some cases, the lift can even be installed directly on the existing floor without major structural changes.

Popular Pitless Options

Vacuum (Pneumatic) Lifts:These elevators operate using air pressure to move the cabin. They require no pit and no separate machine room, making them a space-saving option for modern homes.

Screw-Drive Systems:These lifts use a reliable motorized nut-and-bolt mechanism that needs very little vertical space and offers smooth and safe operation.

MRL (Machine Room-Less) Traction Elevators:These advanced elevators use compact motors and belts, allowing installation in tight spaces with minimal building modifications.
