Supplied and installed by Architectural Home Elevators, the Eclipse stands out against other residential elevators available locally thanks to its elegant integration, smooth operation, and practical advantages in both new builds and existing homes.
Key advantages of the Savaria Eclipse:
- Superior ride quality: Durable geared chain drive provides an exceptionally smooth, stable, and quiet operation, outperforming many rail-based or basic hydraulic alternatives.
- Generous capacity and reach: Supports up to 430kg and travel across up to six stops, accommodating significant vertical distances.
- Flexible configurations: Same-side, straight-through, or 90-degree door openings to suit diverse floor plans and traffic flow.
- Minimal structural impact: Machine-roomless design with modular rail system; requires no dedicated machine room (components often fit in a compact closet), minimal overhead space, and a pit of just 203mm.
- Customisable aesthetics: Tailor cab interiors, fixtures, finishes, automatic LED lighting, slim automatic doors, or glass swing doors.
- Ideal for existing homes:
- Minimises disruption during retrofits — avoids extensive shaftway construction or major structural changes often required by bulkier competitors.
- Perfect for upgrading heritage villas, bungalows, or multi-level residences while preserving original character and footprint.
- Ideal for new builds:
- Empowers creative design integration — becomes a refined architectural feature rather than a compromise.
- Future-proofs properties — enhances accessibility and long-term value in an ageing population.
- Enhanced safety and peace of mind:
- Comprehensive features including battery-backed emergency lowering, slack chain brakes, and interlocks exceed many local alternatives.
Architectural Home Elevators provides expert specification support, tailored solutions, and ongoing maintenance programs to ensure every project succeeds.
