Not necessarily. Unlike traditional commercial elevators that require deep pits, large headroom, or dedicated machine rooms, many modern home elevators—especially those offered by Elite Elevators Malaysia—are designed to be space-efficient and easy to install.
Our elevators use cutting-edge technology like gearless motors, hydraulic drives, or cog-belt mechanisms, which eliminate the need for:
A pit: Our elevators can operate with a shallow pit of just 50mm, or even be installed directly on the existing floor using a small ramp.
Headroom space: No extra overhead space is required above the top floor, making it easier to install in homes with standard ceiling heights.
Machine rooms: All machinery is compactly built into the shaft or cabin, so you don’t need a separate room to house elevator equipment.
This makes our elevators ideal for:
Retrofitting in existing homes
Multi-story homes with limited space
Heritage or architecturally sensitive buildings
Modern minimalist homes where aesthetics matter
By removing these traditional structural barriers, Elite Elevators makes home elevator installation faster, cleaner, and far more flexible—without compromising on safety, comfort, or style.
