How is the Best Home Lift
for a Townhouse?
Cibes Lift – Luxury Home lift Cibes Voyager V80i Aurora with Cinnabar Rose patterns.
Townhouse lifts are usually terrible difficult for architects. They tend to be very tall (4 floors up) and really NEED a lift, however their miniature size and inability to do structural adjustments makes it almost impossible to use traditional traction / conventional lifts.
Our lifts are actually specialized for townhouses and shophouses. Since 1947, we have installed hundreds of lifts in shophouses and townhouses, especially in South East Asia. From the super tall and narrow Vietnamese townhouses to the ubiquitous Indonesian rukos, we have made it our business to provide lifting solutions to the toughest situations. In fact, you could go as far as saying that our lifts are designed for townhouses and shophouses.
Here are 3 reasons why
1. Super Space Saving Lifts
It’s not just that our lifts are small (although they are, with our smallest being under 1m2 in total area!). It’s that we also provide a much bigger ratio of standing space to total lift space. As much as 73% of our lift is standing space, while that ratio is usually only 30-40 for traditional lifts. See below how we compare:
This is a perfect combination for size-sensitive townhouses and shophouses. Our lifts are small, but maximize standing space, allowing you to fit in a wheelchair lift in a space which can barely fit a wheelchair to begin with!
2. No Need for a Pit
A big concern of our clients in townhouses and shophouses is their inability to make a pit – often a clear rule from the property management.
The good news, of course, is that Cibes Lifts are pitless. While we still recommend a 50 mm pit to be level with the floor, we can do ZERO PIT lifts by simply installing a 50 mm ramp.
Needless to say, this is a welcome innovation for lifts in shophouses and townhouses.
3. Low Weight and Minimal Forces on Walls
Let’s face it, one of the problems with shophouses and townhouses is that the common walls are not always the strongest. This means that a giant concern during lift installation is that your neighbor will suddenly start complaining about vibrations!
Thankfully, this is not a problem for Cibes at all. Even if you were to fix the fixing points of our lift directly on the shared wall, they only use a force of 25 kg. This means that our lift is essentially vibration proof when it comes to shared walls!
