Three passenger elevator
(Wheelchair accessible)
Model: PVE52
The pneumatic vacuum elevator PVE52 model is specially designed for people with reduced mobility. This model pneumatic vacuum elevator allows the possibility of transporting a passenger in a wheelchair and an attendant.
The vacuum elevator PVE52 has an outer diameter of 131.6 cm and accommodates up to three people (238 kg). Available in two, three and four stops (max. height 10.5m ) it is ideal for those who want a spacious and panoramic residential elevator in their home.
Like other models of vacuum elevators the PVE52 is installed on the existing floor and is an elevator that does not require a machine room or pit, allowing for a clean, quick and easy installation.
There are many wheelchair home lifts, but only our pneumatic vacuum elevator PVE52 gives you the space and security you need with a spectacular design. The exterior cylinder of the biggest of our vacuum elevators is made of aluminum and transparent polycarbonate. It is also the only model with stainless steel interior cabin. A perfect finish!
The vacuum elevator greatly reduces energy costs and maintenance, as our pneumatic vacuum elevator works without pulleys or pistons. This allows for low energy consumption during ascent and zero during descent. The pneumatic vacuum elevators are econfriendly elevators.
FAQ's
No, it doesn’t because the elevator is self supported. The turbines are either placed on top of the elevator (standard installation) or up to 10 m away from the top of the elevator, possibly outdoors (split installation).
Our prices include installation, PS1 and warranty.
Vacuum elevators do not require a lift shaft to be built which will save you about NZD 25,000 in building works (lift shaft, landing doors, etc).
Please consider this when comparing prices.
A two stops elevator will cost between NZD 47,700 – 91,460 + GST depending on the model, location, type of installation, and optionals.

Yes, PVE52, is wheelchair accessible.
Annual checks are recommended.
After 15,000 cycles (4 to 5 years), the liner (which creates an airtight chamber above the unit) might need replacement.
The vacuum pumps may also need to be replaced as the unit ages, however under normal operation conditions, these should last in excess of 10 years.
To prevent dust accumulating on the elevator tube, we also recommend that it is wiped down with an anti-static solution on a monthly basis.
We offer different levels of service contracts as well as pay as you go maintenance calls.
Yes. In fact, a pneumatic vacuum elevator may be the best solution for existing homes as no pit excavation or hoist way is needed. Also, power requirements are simple as only a single phase 230V power supply is required.
In the event of a power failure, the car automatically descends slowly to the ground floor and the door automatically unlocks. Cabin lighting is maintained as this is battery-operated.
Emergency brakes are automatically activated and the car is immediately anchored to the support columns of the tube.
Over 20,000 pneumatic vacuum elevators have been installed worldwide.
The vacuum elevator produces ~75 decibels of noise (similar to that one produced by a household vacuum cleaner).
From the time the order is placed, it takes approximately 24 weeks to build and ship the elevator to NZ. Once in NZ, installation takes 1-2 days at any suitable time.
Yes. Because there is no pit or hoist way, the elevator can be easily moved. If the heights in the new installation are the same as in the initial installation, no changes to the system are required.
