Vision elevators use a vacuum concept instead of using pulleys, hoists, ropes, chains, or counterweights, and no machine room is required. This type of pneumatic home elevator uses a driving machine that consists of turbines which remove the air from the top of the elevator car and allow it to move in an upward motion. The elevator sits at floor level at the bottom and for each floor above, the car is held in place by mechanical locks. As a result of the simple installation, you, the homeowner, will be saving up to $15,000 by not having to install a hoist way as well as the elevator.
Whether an EC, 450, or 550 model, a Vision elevator has a modern look, which will match the interior of your home and will allow you to travel silently between floors. In addition, the Vision 550 is wheelchair accessible.
Once installed, these residential elevators have several safety features, including battery powered lowering, automatic cab lighting, alarm, and stop buttons, as well as an under-panel safety sensor and top floor presence detector.
