Home Elevator Installation
Home elevator installation for multi-level living.
A residential home elevator moves people and mobility devices between floors in an enclosed cab. It can support homeowners planning to age in place, families making a multi-level home easier to navigate, and anyone who wants a more direct way to move between levels. We start with an in-home evaluation of your layout and goals, then explain the configuration and next steps.

What It Is
A Home Elevator Built Around Your Space
A residential elevator is a compact vertical transportation system installed inside your home. Unlike a stairlift, it fully encloses the user and moves between floors in a self-contained cab, making it ideal for wheelchair users, scooter users, or anyone who needs a fully hands-free solution.
Western Stairlifts installs the Pollock Residential Elevator, a premium system with multiple cabin sizes, adjustable heights, and optional color-changing LED lighting. Its quiet electric drive and smart control placement make it as low-maintenance as it is elegant.
Our team handles the full process from site evaluation through final walkthrough.

Space and Planning
Plan the elevator around your home
A useful evaluation looks beyond the elevator itself. We connect the floors you use, measure the available footprint, and review the practical details that shape the installation plan.
Levels to connect
Identify the floors and entry points that matter most, including daily movement, mobility devices, and items you may carry between levels.
Space and configuration
The available footprint, cabin size, cabin height, approach, and control placement all help determine which configuration fits the home.
Installation considerations
We review the installation area and electrical requirements during the evaluation, then explain the work and walkthrough before you decide on the next step.
Is It Right For You?
When a Home Elevator May Be the Better Fit
If you need full-floor access, use a wheelchair, or want to move items between levels effortlessly, an elevator is the right solution. For a single-level step change, a vertical platform lift may be a better fit for the entry.
Multi-Floor Access
Need to reach two or more floors comfortably? An elevator serves every level of your home from a single installation, without separate equipment on each floor.
Wheelchair or Mobility Device Users
The enclosed cab accommodates wheelchairs, walkers, rollators, and larger mobility devices. No transferring to a seat required.
Carrying Items Between Floors
Groceries, laundry, luggage, and heavy items can travel with you in the cab, eliminating the need to carry loads up and down stairs.
Single-Level Step Change Only
If you only need to bypass a small number of steps or a single elevation change, a vertical platform lift may be a better fit for that entry.
