Installation of the Lev Home Elevator
| This custom home has a Lev Home Elevator by ThyssenKrupp Access. It was selected because it has the ability to travel 50 feet and make up to five stops. In this house it will make three stops.
The counterweighted chain drive system makes it one of their most energy-efficient models, and it has more lifting power (950 pounds) than any other elevator in its class. Also, it has automatic battery powered lowering during household power failure as well as a telephone. The interior of the elevator shaft was first insulated against noise, and then fully encased in drywall. Finishing carpenters also embedded a 50 ft wooden track into the shaft to accomodate the elevator equipment which was installed by certified technitions. |

 This long view shows the elevator in relation to the stairs going up to the third floor. It also shows the insulation around the shaft. |
 Well, the access buttons might be a tip-off...otherwise you wouldn't know it is there. A telephone with an outside line is included in the setup. |
