PVE Vacuum Elevators

What Is a Vacuum Elevator?

Vacuum elevators are compact vacuum-driven home lifts designed to increase accessibility within the home but with some unique style. They help future-proof your forever home and allow easy access to all the floors in the home with ease and independence. Fringe benefits include moving heavy items such as suitcases or welcoming relatives that may have mobility issues. There are three sizes available all of which comply with relevant safety standards.

The Vacuum Elevator combines a smooth vertical cylinder with a cabin that moves up and down through air suction. The operation of the elevator is based on the ascending push generated by the difference between the negative atmospheric pressure created on the top of the cabin and the atmospheric pressure under the cabin.

Are Vacuum Elevators safe?

The PVE Vacuum Elevator has a special and unique cabin locking system, which securely anchors the cabin on each level. They are composed of two steel levered hooks located on the top of the cabin.

During ascent, they remain closed, and once the cabin reaches the desired landing position, the car lock deploys and engages firmly into the guide columns of the lift structure. This design ensures

PVE-Vacuum-Lift a precise stopping position every time without creeping (in the case of Hydraulic systems) or misalignment with the floor (Rope stretch etc).

The cabin will remain in that position using zero energy until needed elsewhere. One of the unique aspects of the PVE vacuum lift is that before descending, the cabin goes up a few centimetres in order to release the locking mechanism before allowing the cabin to gently and freely descend.

In the event of a power failure, the PVE elevator always descends to the ground floor at a safe speed, literally floating to the ground on a cushion of air at which point the occupant is able to get out because the doors are released by mechanical means meaning they can only open when the lift is in the correct location. The PVE Vacuum Elevator comes as standard with a battery backup system to ensure cabin lighting and ventilation fan remain working.

Finally, the PVE vacuum lifts are CE marked and meet the legal requirements and technical safety features required of the Member States of the European Union.

Founded in 2002, in Miami, Florida, the PVE manufactures three versions of its vacuum elevator, a single, double and three-passenger/wheelchair-accessible model.
