The Savaria Vuelift Mini is a compact home lift that turns vertical travel into a design feature.

Instead of hiding the lift away, the Vuelift Mini is designed to be seen. Its circular, panoramic acrylic shaft and cabin create a light-filled vertical column that can sit within a stairwell, by a feature window, or at the heart of an open-plan space. The integrated hoistway means there is no need for a traditional masonry lift shaft, helping to simplify building works and preserve valuable floor area.

For homeowners looking to future-proof their property without compromising on aesthetics, the Vuelift Mini offers step-free access between floors while complementing contemporary interiors, loft conversions and high-spec refurbishments.

Vuelift Mini at a Glance

Compact Circular Footprint

A compact footprint diameter of only 1264mm is required – ideal where space is at a premium.

Panoramic Cabin

Clear acrylic hoistway and cabin panels provide 360° views and allow natural light to flow through your home.

Integrated Hoistway

Supplied with its own structural enclosure, removing the need for a separate lift shaft compared to others.

Multiple Floors

Configurable for up to six stops, making it suitable for most UK homes.

Architectural Statement

Designed to sit proudly within the architecture of the home rather than being hidden in a corner.

Ideal for Modern Homes

A good fit for refurbishments, apartments and new-build homes where style is as important as access.

Professional Installation, Built Around Your Project

The Vuelift Mini is delivered as a complete system with its own hoistway, helping to streamline the installation process.

Ahead of installation, a general contractor prepares the opening between floors or assesses the suitability of a stairwell, checks the supporting structure, and ensures the required power supplies are in place. Because the Vuelift Mini does not usually require a conventional shaft, works can often be more predictable than with a traditional passenger lift.

Once the site is ready, the lift is assembled and commissioned by trained engineers. Installation time will depend on the number of floors and the complexity of your project, but is typically measured in days rather than weeks once site preparation is complete.

Safety Designed Into Every Journey

As with any home lift, safety features are critical. The Vuelift Mini combines proven mechanical design with modern controls to support safe, reliable travel between floors.

  • Emergency stop and alarm within the cabin
  • Door interlocks to prevent movement if a door is not correctly closed
  • Overspeed protection and safety brake system
  • Obstacle detection and controlled start/stop for smooth travel

Additional Safety & Convenience Features

Everyday usability matters just as much as engineering. The Vuelift Mini includes a range of features designed to make each trip simple and reassuring.

In-car communication: The cabin can be equipped with a built-in telephone or communication device, allowing you to contact help if needed.

Emergency lowering: In the event of a power cut, battery-backed emergency lowering can be used to return the lift to the lowest floor, where the door can be opened safely.

Key Features of the Vuelift Mini

Integrated Acrylic Hoistway

The Vuelift Mini is supplied with its own structural acrylic hoistway, so there is typically no requirement for a separate blockwork or stud shaft – helping to simplify planning and construction.

Circular Panoramic Cabin

A circular cabin with near 360° visibility creates a light and open feel. Rather than feeling enclosed, each journey becomes part of the architectural experience of the home.

Compact Floor Opening

The relatively small diameter opening makes it easier to position the lift within stairwells or tight corners, while still providing a comfortable cabin size for daily use.

Smooth Winding-Drum Drive

A proven winding-drum drive system delivers smooth, controlled travel at a comfortable residential speed, with press once controls for added convenience.

Flexible Door Options

Depending on configuration, the Vuelift Mini can be supplied with single-entry or straight-through door arrangements to suit a range of floor plans.

Customisable Finish

Frame colours and finishes can be chosen to coordinate with your interior design scheme, helping the lift feel like a natural part of the home rather than an add-on.
