    • Traditional Cab Elevators

    Traditional cab elevators are often well suited for new construction homes or major renovations where a dedicated shaft can be incorporated into the design. Because the elevator travels within an enclosed hoistway, the system blends more seamlessly into the home and can provide a more discreet, built-in appearance while offering larger cab sizes, greater customization, and long-term performance.

    • Installation Time

  • Traditional residential elevators generally involve the longest installation timeline because they require more extensive construction and site preparation than other home elevator styles. The process typically includes designing and building the elevator shaft (hoistway), completing structural framing and electrical work, preparing any required pit and overhead clearances, and coordinating inspections before the elevator system itself can be installed.
  • Once the site is properly prepared, the elevator equipment installation and final commissioning may take approximately several days to a couple of weeks depending on the complexity of the project.

    • Pricing Details

  • Traditional cab elevators generally represent a larger investment due to the additional construction involved, including a dedicated shaft, structural modifications, and greater customization options.
  • Varies depending on model, size, and customization options.
