Home elevators make homes more accessible and user-friendly at multiple life stages and settings.
With several customization options and multiple sizes to best suit your needs, home elevators are a stylish way to enjoy your home well into the future.
If keeping the cost lower or saving space are your top priorities, shaftless elevators can be a particularly attractive option. They take up much less space and require less construction than traditional elevators. They also are a more affordable home elevator option, typically ranging in price from $35,000 to $45,000.
Arrow Lift® has helped thousands of people make an elevator the prized feature of their home, and we would love to help you do the same.

Looking for a Higher-End Option?
Traditional home elevators are highly customizable to reflect your personality or match your home’s aesthetics. Ranging in price from $45,000 to over $100,000 depending on the level of customization, these elevators are a true luxury upgrade that add value and accessibility to your home.
For a more modern feel, pneumatic vacuum elevators (PVEs) are a striking statement piece offering panoramic views. These models typically range in price from $45,000 to over $100,000. Thanks to their free-standing tube, they do not require a shaft to be constructed.

What Our Customers Say
Arrow Lift is truly amazing!! Great job on the rebuild.
Thank you to Kelsey for her patience and help in organizing all the meetings and emails.
Duane and Robert were organized, highly qualified, and went over and beyond. They finished the rebuild early, and the elevator is great.
Thank you.
Wow, great communication, great people and excellent product and service. I will recommend Arrow Lift for elevator installation to family and friends.
Your customer service is off the charts great. Your headquarters staff and technicians are super friendly and competent every time I deal with them. And the elevator works flawlessly.
My technician was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. He assisted with items that were outside the normal bounds of a service call. Our phone people did not label cords correctly and he worked to get our elevator back up and running after confusion with other vendors. Just super thankful for a patient and helpful person assisting. I was a bit at my 'end' with trying to get everything working properly and he spent extra time making sure we were good to go.
We are always very impressed by how quick we can get service scheduled for our elevator and lift. We are also always pleased with the level of professionalism that the technicians provide when in our home. We have recommended Arrow Lift to a few friends who have purchased products.
We have just built a new home and put an elevator in from Arrow Lift. The whole experience was good from the purchase to the final inspection. All the people that worked on the installation were very professional. Great company.

What Is a Shaftless Elevator?

What Is a Glass Home Elevator?
A home elevator that has one or more sides made out of glass or plexiglass are often called glass home elevators. This allows you to admire your home through the glass windows as you travel from floor to floor. Shaftless and PVE home elevators are glass by default, and traditional home elevators can also be customized to have up to 3 sides of the elevator car and shaft be glass.

How Many People Can Use a Home Elevator?

Are Home Elevators Wheelchair Accessible?
Many residential elevators are large enough to fit a wheelchair. However, this depends on the type of elevator you’re looking for and its function/purpose.
Are Home Elevators Safe?
Yes. Shaftless, traditional, and PVE home elevators come equipped with a range of safety features, including alarms, battery backups, and systems to prevent the car from moving when the doors aren’t completely closed. All home lifts are also required to have a phone for emergencies.
