The Pneumatic Vacuum Elevator (PVE) offers a fully transparent panoramic view without any obstructing cables, pistons, or shaft. This shaftless elevator is a self-supporting structure that simply rests on the floor with no pit required. Installing a PVE is much easier and faster (usually 2 days) than a traditional hydraulic elevator or residential traction elevator because there is no need for excavation of your foundation, construction of a hoistway shaft, or building out a machine room. The footprint is minimal making less construction dust, creating less interruption in your life, and leaving more space in your home for living.
Vacuum Elevators Requiring No Shaft
Eco Friendly Elevator
The PVE is the greenest elevator in the industry requiring less energy that other types of elevators. Home Elevator of Houston offers three versatile sizes of PVE ranging from a single passenger 30” elevator, two-passenger 37” elevator with optional fold-down seat, and a 52” elevator with three passenger capacity and wheelchair accessibility.
Why Choose a Vacuum Elevator?
- Compact Design: PVE can be placed virtually anywhere within a climate-controlled area utilizing a 360-degree panoramic view. With no shaft or machine room, it does not significantly reduce living or storage space. You can even install vacuum elevators on a yacht!
- Safe: Vacuum elevators cannot freefall. During a power outage, the vacuum elevator will either sit where it is, if empty, or if you are in it, will automatically descend to the bottom floor.
- Energy Efficient: Zero energy consumption during descent. Highly efficient pneumatic pump. So efficient, PVE come in solar-powered elevator models.
- Price and Value: No need for excavation or shaft construction. No expensive elevator maintenance required. Elevators add resale value to your home.
