Cambridge Elevating Residential Elevators
Enjoy your home, your neighborhood and your way of life, long into retirement.
Increase Your Home Value
Research shows that homes with elevators will command a greater resale value and quicker sale than those without. If the subsequent buyer does not need or want an elevator, the unit can be used for storage or act as a dumb waiter to move goods between floors.
Safety Doors
All elevator doors use a CSA/UL approved electromechanical interlock for the ultimate in safety. This systems uses an electrical switch as well as a mechanical lock to ensure that the door is closed and locked properly before the elevator cab departs from the floor. This also ensures that no elevator doors can be opened unless the elevator cab is at the appropriate landing.
Safety Edge Cab
All of our elevator models include an infrared light curtain that is designed to detect obstacles that might enter the small space between the cab gate and the landing door. The elevator car will not move until the obstacle is cleared.
No Power, No Problem
In the event of a power-outage, the elevator’s battery backup will allow the cab to descend to any lower levels by pressing the desired floor button. The unit also has a manual lowering device on the power/pump unit. If assistance is required, each model is equipped with an emergency telephone. You can call for help or dial our toll free number for trouble shooting options.
No Worries Warranty
36 months limited factory parts warranty.
Inexpensive Operation
Maintenance costs are very reasonable for the average user. The amount of use will dictate the frequency of service visits required, but once per year is recommended. The elevator consumes power at a rate similar to any other household appliances.
Long Lasting & Reliable
Our elevators are designed and manufactured with commercial grade components for high traffic use, when combined with regular service your elevator will last many years without any major maintenance.
Compact Design
A typical 36” x 48” cab requires a hoist way (shaft) throughout the home of approximately 54” x 54” – the area of a medium sized walk in closet. The hydraulic pump unit and control box are typically situated adjacent to the hoistway and together are no larger than the size of a dishwasher. Cambridge Elevating can customize cab sizes to suit almost any environment.
Quiet Operation
The hydraulic pump unit engages only when raising the elevator cab, not while descending. The noise emitted from the elevator’s power unit is as quiet as your furnace.
Elmira – Special Features
- Manual or automatic accordion cab or PowerFold automatic bi-folding gates.
- Integrated safety locks protect against door opening without cab present.

Clean Appearance
