FAQs

  • The terms "residential elevator" and "residential lift" are often used interchangeably, but they can refer to different types of equipment. A residential elevator typically travels within a hoistway. It can serve multiple floors, while the broader term “residential lift” may also include equipment such as shaftless elevators, vertical platform lifts, and other home accessibility solutions.

    The right option depends on your home, available space, number of floors, accessibility needs, and project goals. ROC Elevators can help you compare your options and determine the best residential elevator or lift solution for your home.
