Everything villa and duplex owners in Bangalore should know before installing a home lift — shaft, budget, aesthetics, safety.
How much space does a home lift need?
Modern MRL home lifts fit into shafts as compact as 900 × 1100 mm — smaller than a walk-in closet. Hydraulic variants need slightly more (around 1000 × 1200 mm) but eliminate the machine room entirely. In retrofits, we can often use existing stairwell voids.
Cost expectations for Bangalore villas (2026)
A 3-stop (ground + 2 floors) MRL home lift with premium cabin finish typically ranges ₹9–14 lakhs installed. Hydraulic 2-stop variants can start around ₹6.5 lakhs. Custom architectural finishes (wood, glass, mirror) add 15–30%.
What about power? Do I need 3-phase?
For 2-3 stop home lifts we offer models that run on standard 220V single-phase — no expensive infrastructure upgrade needed. For larger 4-6 stop lifts, 3-phase is recommended for smoother operation and faster travel.
Safety features that matter most in a home
Non-negotiables: Automatic Rescue Device (ARD) that lowers the cabin to nearest floor during power cuts, door safety photo-sensor, overload alarm, and battery-backed emergency lighting. Optional but worth it: web-app monitoring for elderly family members.
Timeline from order to first ride
For a standard MRL home lift with existing shaft: 4–6 weeks. For a retrofit requiring shaft construction: 10–14 weeks including civil work. We recommend planning your home lift during the interior finishing stage, not after, to avoid shaft-cutting damage.
