Specialty Home Elevators
Unique small home elevators
Through-the-floor elevator that travels through a cut-out in the floor
Vacuum Tube
These futuristic elevators use air suction to move an elevator car up and down inside a plastic cylinder (just like mail moves through pneumatic tubes in large offices). They are quiet and smooth, but quite expensive.
Through-the-floor Elevators
These elevators are not fully automatic: they feature constant pressure operation. They operate on a self-supporting tower and move through a floor cut-out rather than a hoist-way. When space is an issue, this option is a good way to move one person with a wheelchair from one floor to another.
