Home elevator Cost in Australia

Australia is a sparsely populated country with a very developed economy and a very low population density. High-rise buildings are only in some eastern coastal cities. Throughout Australia, most residents live in villas in the suburbs. In Australia, many people will be concerned about the cost of home elevator. With the improvement of people's living standards and the intensification of population aging, for the convenience of life, or the convenience of the elderly and disabled to go upstairs and downstairs, a home elevator with reasonable price and small land occupation becomes more and more necessary. Many traditional commercial elevator companies have also started to build home elevators. There are also some emerging companies specializing in home elevators, including traction elevators, forced drive elevators, screw elevators and hydraulic elevators, which are suitable for different installation conditions, meet different price needs, and form an unprecedented prosperous market. If you are planning to install a home elevator, the biggest concern must be what is the cost of home elevator in Australia? Today, in this article we will give you a comprehensive analysis according to different situations.

1.Cost of traction home elevator in Australia

Traction elevator is the earliest commercial elevator invented in the world. It is drive by the traction machine as the main engine of the elevator, up and down through the rotation of the traction machine. One end of the steel wire rope is connected to the counterweight and the other end is connected to the car. When the traction machine rotates forward, the car rises and the counterweight falls. When the traction machine rotates in the reverse direction, the lift car drops and the counterweight rises. After more than 100 years of development, the traction technology has been very mature. It is mainly used in shopping malls, residential buildings and other buildings, there are lots of famous traction elevator brand in the world, such as Otis, KONE, Schneider and so on. In recent years, some commercial traction elevator companies have begun to make home traction elevators, and many companies specializing in villa elevators have emerged, such as PRO Royal, Tuhe, etc.

The traction elevator can have no machine room, as we called MRL, but it requires a pit installation. The height of the pit is related to the height of the overhead height. If the height of the top floor is very high, the pit can be at least 150mm. If the top floor is relatively low, there must be a pit greater than 500mm. Traction elevators also need hoistway installation. If your house is in the design stage and you consider installing a traction elevator in the future, you need to reserve elevator space and prepare reinforced concrete hoistway. If your house has been built and you want to install traction elevator, you need steel structure or aluminum alloy shaft as support, which is also a part of expensive expenses. The price of steel structure shaft is about $800 per floor, generally in black and white. The price of aluminum alloy hoistway is about $1200 per floor. There are many colors to choose from, such as champagne gold, rose gold, etc.

The traction elevator needs to be installed by a professional elevator service company, filed with the housing and Urban Rural Development Bureau, and regularly maintained by a professional company and recorded. For example, the shopping mall elevator is maintained once a week, the residential building is maintained once a month, and the villa elevator is maintained once a year. The installation cost ranges from $2000 to $5000, and the maintenance cost is about $500-1500 each time. The prices are different in different regions. The specific prices need to be consulted with the local elevator service company.

For the cost of traction elevator in Australia, the price of the two floors is between 12000-28000 US dollars. The price also varies according to the size, decoration and configuration. Each additional floor adds about $500.

2.Cost of forced home elevator in Australia

The forced drive elevator uses the winch as the main engine and drives the steel wire rope to pull the car up and down through the rotation of the drum. The requirements for manufacturer's qualification are the same as those for traction elevator. However, the forced drive elevator is a professional home elevator and cannot be used for commercial use. Because it only depends on the one-way force of the drum and there is no counterweight. There are certain requirements for the lifting height, which must be less than 10m, and the load is also required, generally 400kg. The forced drive host can be placed on the top floor or in the pit, which can be flexibly selected according to the situation of the house. The forced drive elevator also needs hoistway and pit installation. The specific installation requirements and installation methods are similar to those of traction elevator. It also needs to be completed by a professional elevator service company. The general installation cost is US $2000 to US $5000. It also needs maintenance once a year, and the cost is about US $500 to US $1500.

For the cost of forced home elevator in Australia, the price of the two floors is between 15000-30000 US dollars. The price also varies according to the size, decoration and configuration. Each additional floor adds about $800.

3.Cost of screw elevator in Australia

Screw elevator is a new type of home elevator in recent years. The driving mode is the motor pushes the nut to rotate around the screw, the nut is connected to the lift car, when the nut rotates forward, the lift car rises, when the nut rotates reverse, and the lift car falls. The motor and the lift car are fixed together, so the motor always rises and falls with the lift car in the lift process. At the same time, because the screws and nuts are made of iron, there will be metal friction noise in the lift process, which is the biggest disadvantage of the screw elevator. Compared with traction elevator, the advantage of screw elevator is that it has less demand for installation space. It can also be installed in less than one square meter of space. Of course, this is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Because there is only one force point for the nut, the screw elevator can not make a large platform, and the load is very small. It can only be a mini elevator, with a general load of 150kg and can accommodate two people at the same time. The screw should not be too long. If it is too long, it will obviously be unstable, so it is generally up to 3 floors. The installation of screw elevator does not need hoistway, only needs to fix the screw. The installation is relatively simple and convenient.

As a new technology, the price always be high. For example the price of screw lift is generally about $30000-40000 for two floors and $35000-45000 for three floors. It is the most expensive of all home elevators. It may be because the appearance is beautiful, so even if the sound is loud and the price is high, many customers are willing to choose it.

4.Cost of hydraulic home elevator in Australia

Hydraulic home elevator is gradually developed from hydraulic freight elevator, and its technology is very mature, earlier than all other categories. Moreover, hydraulic equipment is widely used in our life, almost every one knows. The working principle of hydraulic home elevator is to push the lifting arm to rise through hydraulic oil cylinder, and the lifting arm drives the lift car to rise through steel wire rope. The descending is by the hydraulic oil return to the pump station through its own gravity, so the motor does not work when descending, and the hydraulic home elevator is also the most energy-saving equipment. The oil immersed silent pump station is adopted, which greatly reduces the noise when rising. And the colorless and tasteless hydraulic oil is used. The hydraulic home elevator is stressed on one side, so the conventional platform size maximum is 1000mm depth and 1200mm width. If the space is large and requires a larger platform it needs to be customized, it can also be realized by installing auxiliary guide rails. Moreover, in recent years, with the vigorous development of the home elevator market, the hydraulic elevator has become more and more professional. For example, it is equipped with a light curtain (if any object blocks the light curtain during the operation of the elevator, the elevator will stop running immediately to ensure personnel safety), safety gear (when all the wire ropes are broken, the safety gear will start immediately to make the car stuck on the guide rail and will not fall), and reducer (when the car running speed exceeds the set value, the reducer starts immediately and the car stops running), UPS (supply power to the control cabinet in case of power failure to make the elevator land to the ground smoothly) and other safety facilities to ensure the safety of users to a great extent. The hydraulic elevator is suitable for various installation conditions, such as floor hole opening, middle of stairs, outdoor installation, etc. It has no requirements for hoistway and installation space. If the installation space is very small, it can also be installed without outer frame, only guide rail and car can make a easy home elevator. The minimum requirement for space is 600 * 700mm. For the scheme without outer frame, in order to ensure the safety of users, a sensor will be added at the bottom of the car, if any object touches the sensor when the car falls, the car will stop running immediately. The elevator door can also choose from manual door, automatic swing door or automatic sliding door, and the material can also choose from stainless steel, aluminum alloy or tempered glass. The installation of hydraulic elevator is the simplest, generally an electrician and a mechanic is enough. It can be completed without a professional installation team. Because of its simple structure, the failure rate is low and the maintenance is simple. Generally, it can be maintained by yourself, adding lubricating oil regularly, changing hydraulic oil regularly, changing sealing rings regularly, etc.

The price of hydraulic elevator is the lowest among all categories. The price of two floors is between 5000-10000 US dollars. The price is also different according to different interior decoration, size and opening mode. Each additional floor increases by about 500 US dollars.

In a word, all the types of home elevators on the market have their own advantages and disadvantages. The price ranges from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars, and the size ranges from tens of centimeters to a few meters. Please choose the most suitable elevator according to your preferences and the installation conditions of the house.
