Start with the part of the house you want back
You don't have to know the name of the thing you need:
- Reaching another floor — a home elevator, with a cab that carries you and a wheelchair.
- Moving a wheelchair between levels — a platform lift.
- Stairs you can still walk, but not easily — a stairlift, riding the staircase you already have.
- The front steps — a porch platform lift or a wheelchair ramp.
- Moving a person from bed to chair without lifting by hand — a ceiling lift.
- Carrying groceries, laundry or firewood between floors — a dumbwaiter.
What we install
Home elevators
A cab that carries you and a wheelchair between floors, so the whole house stays part of how you live. Three ways one goes into a home: a vacuum elevator (PVE) in a self-supporting tube with no separate shaft, pit or machine room; a traditional elevator (Cibes Symmetry, Fox Valley) in a built shaft, with custom cab finishes, for new construction and full renovations; and a through-floor elevator (the Cibes Symmetry Ascenda) that rises through an opening between two floors, for a home you already live in.
Platform lifts
A platform that carries a wheelchair or scooter and its rider straight up — to a raised porch or deck, or between floors. The Harmar Highlander 2 for shorter rises, indoors or out; the Cibes Symmetry for enclosed, multi-floor travel indoors. The fit when a ramp would run too long and a full elevator is more than you need.
Stairlifts
A seat on a rail that carries you up and down the stairs you have. Straight-rail models for straight staircases, and a custom curved rail for stairs with a turn or a landing, by Harmar. Straight units are often in stock.
Wheelchair ramps
Modular aluminum ramps by National Ramp, in the Liberty and Breeze systems — sized to your rise at a safe slope, with landings and turns as the entry needs, removable and reconfigurable. Front steps, side and back entries, short rises to a porch. Usually installed in a day or two.
Ceiling lifts
A track fixed to the ceiling and a motor that carries a person in a sling along it — bed to chair, chair to bathroom — so nobody lifts by hand. The Mackworth TX600.
Dumbwaiters
For loads, not people: the compact Hide-A-Waiter by Staying Home for laundry baskets and grocery bags, and the Cable Waiter by Fox Valley for heavier loads and larger cars.
What people mean by "lift"
A seat that rides up your staircase is a stairlift. A platform that carries a wheelchair straight up between floors, or up to a raised porch, is a platform lift (a vertical platform lift, or VPL). A cab that carries you the way an elevator does is a home elevator. Tell us the problem and we'll name the right one.

Common questions
- Which one is right for my home?
- It depends on what you're solving and how your house is built. Reaching a full floor points to a home elevator; getting a wheelchair up a short rise points to a platform lift or a ramp; a staircase you can still walk points to a stairlift; transfers within a room point to a ceiling lift. Tell us the problem and we'll tell you what fits, in the quote.
- Is there anything you don't install?
- We sell and install new equipment only — nothing used, refurbished or rented, and nothing bought somewhere else.
