Y Series Round and Curved Home Elevator | Panoramic Glass Residential Elevator by TUHE

As modern residential design increasingly pursues spatial aesthetics and personalized styling, homeowners and designers are seeking more diverse elevator solutions to match unique architectural visions. Round and curved panoramic home elevators, with their sleek cylindrical outline and full-transparent glass structure, expand the design possibilities of home vertical mobility, serving as both a practical transportation solution and a signature upgrade for interior decoration.

TUHE Heavy Industry (Jinan Tuhe Heavy Industry Machinery Co., Ltd.), a professional lifting equipment manufacturer based in Jiyang, China’s core hub of lift production, launches the Y Series round and curved home elevator series. Combining gearless traction technology, heavy-duty aluminum alloy structure and fully customizable decorative solutions, this product line delivers stable, quiet and safe vertical transportation while serving as a signature architectural feature. This article introduces the Y800 round elevator and Y700 curved elevator in detail, covering technical parameters, structural advantages, safety configurations and factory support, to help distributors, contractors and homeowners select a reliable residential elevator solution.

Product Overview: Two Models for Diverse Architectural Needs

The Y Series includes two classic designs to fit different space layouts and aesthetic preferences: the Y800 full-round elevator and the Y700 curved corner elevator.

Y800 Round Elevator

As the flagship model of the series, the Y800 round elevator adopts a fully symmetrical cylindrical structure, delivering a 360-degree panoramic visual experience. Its seamless circular outline fits perfectly in the center of a living room, staircase hall or villa atrium, becoming a visual focal point without taking up excessive floor space. The full-height tempered glass walls allow natural light to pass through from all directions, eliminating the enclosed and oppressive feeling of traditional box-type elevators. Available in multiple frame colors including matte black, champagne gold and silver gray, it seamlessly matches modern minimalist, light luxury and neoclassical interior styles.

Y700 Curved Elevator

The Y700 curved elevator features softly rounded corners and a streamlined silhouette, specially designed for corner installation against walls. Its curved front and straight back structure makes full use of idle corner space in stairwells and hallways, while retaining the transparent, lightweight visual effect of panoramic glass. This model is ideal for renovation projects and medium-sized residences where central installation is not feasible, offering the same high-end appearance and stable performance as the round model with better space adaptability.

Both models adopt a gearless traction drive system, the most advanced solution for modern home elevators, ensuring smooth operation, low noise and long service life. Sizes and decorative finishes are both customizable according to project requirements, enabling one-to-one matching with various architectural visions.

Core Structural Advantages & Premium Materials

The reliability and durability of a home elevator depend fundamentally on its structural materials and manufacturing process. TUHE’s Y Series elevators are built with industrial-grade raw materials and precision processing to ensure stable long-term operation.

6mm Ultra-Thick Aluminum Alloy Shaft

The entire elevator shaft is constructed from extra-thick titanium magnesium aluminum alloy profiles with a material thickness of 6mm, far exceeding the industry average of 3–4mm. This heavy-duty structure delivers outstanding load-bearing capacity and structural rigidity, effectively preventing frame deformation and vibration during high-speed operation. The integrally extruded profiles have no splicing gaps, ensuring consistent force distribution and improving overall operational stability even at maximum lifting height. The aluminum alloy surface undergoes anodizing or powder coating treatment, providing strong corrosion and scratch resistance, making the elevator suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation.

Gearless Traction Drive System

Powering the elevator is a permanent magnet synchronous gearless traction machine, which eliminates the energy loss and noise caused by gear reduction. Compared with traditional hydraulic or screw drive systems, gearless traction offers faster and smoother travel, lower energy consumption and almost no routine maintenance. It operates with extremely low mechanical noise, keeping sound levels within residential comfort standards even during late-night use. The traction steel rope structure also provides higher safety redundancy, supporting long-term stable operation for 2–5 story residences.

Precision-Manufactured Components

All structural components are processed through CNC cutting and precision bending, with assembly tolerances controlled within 0.5mm to ensure perfect fitting of glass panels and frame parts. The integrated control box adopts a modular plug-in design, simplifying installation, debugging and later maintenance work. Every unit undergoes full-load test operation and safety function testing in the factory before delivery, ensuring stable performance upon arrival at the project site.

Technical Specifications & Standard Configurations

Below are the standard technical parameters of the Y Series round and curved home elevators. All specifications can be adjusted within safety limits for custom projects.

Standard Cabin Configuration

• Enclosure: 8mm tempered glass with high-strength aluminum alloy frame

• Control Panel: Touch screen COP or mechanical button COP

• Overload protection and door interlock system

Fully Customizable Design for Unique Architectural Visions

Every residence has unique layout and design requirements, so TUHE provides comprehensive customization services covering dimensions, appearance, interior decoration and functional configurations.

On the structural level, platform diameter, lifting height and number of stops can all be tailored to site conditions. For special-shaped spaces such as attic lofts and split-level homes, our engineering team can develop customized structural solutions to maximize space utilization.

On the decorative level, customers can freely choose frame colors, glass types and interior materials. Glass options include clear tempered glass, frosted glass, gradient glass and patterned glass to balance light transmission and privacy. Frame finishes are available in matte, brushed, spray-painted and electroplated processes with hundreds of color options. Interior decorations such as handrail style, ceiling lighting and floor material can also be fully customized to match the overall interior design style of the residence.

For distributors and brand partners, we also support full OEM customization including brand logo printing, custom user manuals and exclusive packaging solutions, to help partners build their own product lines and brand image.

Comprehensive Safety Systems for Reliable Daily Use

Home elevators serve family members including seniors and children, so safety is always the primary design principle. The Y Series integrates multiple layers of mechanical and electrical safety protection to cover all possible risks in daily use.

The mechanical safety system includes a speed governor-safety gear linkage mechanism, which automatically triggers the safety gear to clamp the guide rail and stop the car firmly if the running speed exceeds the safe limit. High-performance polyurethane buffers installed at the bottom of the shaft absorb impact energy in extreme situations, providing the final layer of mechanical protection.

The electrical safety system includes full-height infrared light curtains that detect obstacles as small as 5mm and immediately reverse the door to prevent pinching injuries. The overload weighing system automatically stops operation and issues an alarm when the load exceeds the rated value, avoiding operation under dangerous conditions. In the event of a sudden power outage, the ARD automatic rescue device automatically activates to slowly move the car to the nearest floor and open the door, ensuring users will not be trapped inside.

All safety systems are tested repeatedly during production and before delivery, and the products comply with CE and EAC safety standards, providing reliable protection for long-term family use.
