A home lift usually asks for a room above the shaft. This one is quoted without it.

This page covers machine room less elevators for houses: an automatic hydraulic elevator quoted with 5 stops, a 0 m pit, 3 m of clearance above the top landing and a 4.7 kW motor on a single phase 220 V, 50 Hz supply. The room that a conventional lift keeps for its machinery is not part of this arrangement.

That single change is worth more to a family than any figure on a specification list, because the room above the shaft is usually the reason a lift does not get built. A house has a staircase, a landing and a roof; it rarely has a spare plant room over the top of the shaft, and building one means cutting the roof.

The trade is honest and worth stating at the start. Removing the machine room removes a room, not the equipment. The drive still has to stand somewhere, and where it stands on your project is fixed on the approval drawing rather than by a general rule. What this page can tell you is what the lift is quoted with, what has to be true of the building, and how to check both.

What this page's own specification block states

The figures above are read from this model's own two blocks on the page, not from a catalogue. The technical block states 5 stops, a 0 m pit, 220 V / 50 Hz single phase supply, a 4.7 kW motor, a microprocessor control system, automatic doors, 3 m overhead clearance, a 304 stainless steel or aluminium alloy cabin, a deck floor and an emergency stop button. Warranty is 1 year.

The commercial block names the brand as YIMEISITE, origin China, minimum order 1 set, supply ability 20 sets per month, delivery 45 working days and packing in an export non-fumigation wood box. The price band sits in that same block at the top of the page and is deliberately not repeated here: a lift is quoted against a drawing, and a figure copied into a paragraph is a figure without conditions.

Two things are absent from both blocks and are therefore absent from this page: a rated load and a certification line. Neither is invented below. Where your project needs either one, the answer comes from the factory against your dimensions, and it arrives with the drawing.

Every number on this page is traceable to this model's own specification block or to a measurement of your building. Where a value belongs to the house rather than to the machine — shaft width, clear opening, headroom as built — the page says so instead of filling the gap with a typical figure. See the rest of the hydraulic home elevator range, or send the measurements to our engineers.

Fit check: three questions, three outcomes

Three answers settle whether this machine suits the house at all. Each one is free to check now and expensive to discover after the shaft has been built.

1 Can the lowest landing sit at finished floor level, with no pit dug and no excavation under the floor?

2 Is there 3 m of clear height above the top landing, measured where the car finishes its run?

3 Can a single phase 220 V, 50 Hz supply be brought to the lift position?

All three answers are yes — this is the arrangement the page describes

A house with floor level entry, 3 m above the top landing and a single phase supply at the shaft matches what this model is quoted with. What remains is dimensional: the plan area for the car, the door positions and handing, the travel between your floor levels, and the finish the doors sit beside. Sections 4 and 5 below sort those out.

Three figures are still assumptions

This is where most enquiries land, and it is a comfortable place to be. Measure the clear height above the top landing, look at the floor build-up at the lowest landing, and ask an electrician what single phase supply can reach the position. The same three questions come back on the printable sheet at the end of the page.

One answer is off — what changes is the shaft, not the buyer's plan

A floor that cannot be entered at level, headroom below 3 m, or a supply that is not single phase 220 V each change what has to be designed rather than whether a home lift is possible. Send the three answers with the floor-to-floor heights and the arrangement is reworked on the drawing; the drive comparison in section 6 sets out what each alternative costs in space.

The outcome changes as you answer, and nothing on this page is submitted anywhere. Keep the answers for the survey sheet in the last section, or send them with your enquiry.

How the machine room disappears, and what takes its place

A conventional lift keeps two things above the shaft: the machinery that moves the car, and the room built around that machinery. A machine room less arrangement separates them. The drive equipment is placed so that the building does not need a room of its own, and the space that room would have occupied stays usable.

On a home lift the gain is measured in rooms rather than in metres. The top of the stair, the space over the landing, the attic corner that a plant room would have eaten — those stay part of the house. That is usually the difference between a lift that is designed in and a lift that is abandoned at the planning stage.

What arrives instead is equipment that has to stand somewhere dry, level and serviceable, and a drawing that fixes where. The section below is schematic: it shows the idea, not your building. Shaft size, headroom, car size and the exact position of the drive equipment are made to order and appear on the approval drawing.

Schematic, not to scale. The car, the shaft and the drive equipment are shown in one arrangement; their real positions are fixed on the approval drawing, not by this sketch.

Machine room less (MRL)

The drive equipment is arranged so the building needs no room set aside above the shaft. On this model that is what the page claims: an MRL lift machine, placed beside the shaft or in a niche that suits the plan. Where it stands on your project is a drawing dimension.

Hydraulic drive

A motor turns a pump, the pump moves oil, and the oil raises the car. Lowering is controlled by letting the oil return through a valve rather than by the motor, which is why the descent is smooth and the hardware at the top of the shaft stays modest.

Overhead clearance

The clear height between the top landing floor and whatever is above it. This model's block states 3 m. It is measured on site, at the point where the car finishes its run, because the slab above is not always where the drawing says it is.

What the arrangement buys, and what it asks for

A room that stays part of the house

No plant room means no extra walls, no door to keep shut and no volume to heat, light and ventilate. In a house where the lift was going to take the last spare corner, that is the whole feasibility question answered.

Fewer trades before the roof is closed

A machine room has to be built, waterproofed and serviced before the machinery arrives. Leaving it out takes a package of work off the critical path of a self-build, which is usually felt in the schedule rather than in the quotation.

What the shaft gives back

The equipment still needs a place to stand, reached for service, with the clearance its manufacturer specifies. Plan area for the car, floor level entry and 3 m above the top landing are the three dimensions that decide the rest. All three are checked in the next two sections.

A hydraulic machine room less lift is not a lift without equipment; it is a lift whose equipment is arranged differently. Anyone selling you the first idea without the drawing is selling a sketch. Send a section drawing or the floor-to-floor heights and the arrangement is confirmed against your building.

Eleven figures, and what each one does to the build

A specification list is only useful read as a set of conditions. Each figure below has to survive contact with the building, and each one is quoted for this model rather than described as typical. Switch the list to imperial if your drawings are in feet and inches; the conversion is arithmetic, and the metric figure is the one the factory works to.

Those are this model's own quoted figures, converted and nothing more. No rated load and no certification line appear in them, because neither appears in the blocks on this page. The figures that govern the unit you receive are the ones on the order confirmation and the rating plate; where two numbers disagree, those two win.

Reading the figures that decide the site

Pit and headroom. A 0 m pit means the lowest landing is entered at floor level, so no excavation is needed under the door. In exchange the 3 m above the top landing has to be clear, because that is where the run finishes.

Supply and motor. A 4.7 kW motor on single phase 220 V, 50 Hz is the combination that makes a lift possible in a house where no three phase supply exists. It is also the combination to confirm early, since the supply at the shaft is the one thing on this list an electrician can verify in an afternoon.

Landing doors, and the part of the cycle nobody watches

Automatic doors are quoted at every landing, which matters more in a house than in an office. A household carries shopping, laundry and walking frames; a lift that has to be closed by hand is a lift that gets used less. The sequence below is the standard cycle the control system runs at each landing.

The panels above are a diagram of the cycle, not a photograph of the landing. Clear opening, handing and the wall they park against are settled per project.

Converting the figures you were given

Drawings arrive in whatever units the surveyor used. The converter below takes the three measurements that cause the most confusion — shaft and opening dimensions in millimetres, travel and headroom in metres, and a load figure in kilograms — and returns the other unit.

Metric and imperial, both ways

Millimetres = Inches

Metres = Feet

Kilograms = Pounds

Car internal dimensions, clear opening widths and the finished shaft size are made to order and appear on the approval drawing rather than in this list. Send a section with the floor-to-floor heights and the figures come back dimensioned. Contact our engineers.

Pit, headroom and plan: the three dimensions that decide it

Three dimensions decide whether a machine room less hydraulic lift can be built in a house, and none of them is the height of the building. They are the level of the lowest landing, the clear height above the top landing, and the plan area available where the lift stands.

This model is quoted with a 0 m pit and 3 m of overhead clearance. Read together, those two figures say that the lift is entered at floor level and that its run finishes under 3 m of clear space. Neither figure can be established from a brochure: both are measured in the building, and the headroom is measured at the point where the car finishes rather than at the centre of the room.

What the drawings have to show

Plan area where the car and its equipment will stand, with the walls as built.
Floor-to-floor heights between every pair of landings the lift serves.
Clear height above the top landing, measured to whatever is overhead.
Floor build-up at the lowest landing, since entry is at finished floor level.
Position and size of the opening at each landing, and the wall construction.

What catches projects out

A landing finished higher than the drawing, leaving a step at the entrance.
Headroom measured under a beam rather than under the slab the car stops beneath.
Plan area counted for the car only, with nothing left for the equipment or for access.
A floor-to-floor total that ignores a half landing in the run.
A shaft that already exists and is narrower than the arrangement needs.

The list on the left is what the factory needs in order to draw the arrangement. The list on the right is what turns a drawing into a rework notice, and every item on it costs less to check with a tape measure than to correct later.

Three checks, in the order they matter

1. The entrance is at floor level

Walk the lowest landing and look at the finished floor. This model is quoted with a 0 m pit, so the car floor lines up with the sill rather than with a hole in the ground. Where the entrance cannot be at level, the shaft has to be reworked rather than the lift re-specified, and the drawing is where that gets settled. The pitless hydraulic home elevator is the page for that arrangement.

2. There is 3 m above the top landing

Stand where the car will stop on the top floor and measure upwards. Structures, ducts and lowered ceilings all count against the 3 m, because the run ends underneath them. If the space is tighter, say so with the measurement and the headroom is dealt with on the drawing instead of on site.

3. There is plan area for more than the car

The car is not the only object in the plan. Equipment, its clearance and the access a service visit needs all take room, and this model's plan arrangement is made to order. Sketch the area in plan with a tape measure and the factory returns the arrangement drawn to those dimensions.

What is not on this page, and why

Car internal dimensions, shaft size and clear opening widths do not appear in this section, because they are not figures this model is quoted with publicly. They are produced against your plan, and they arrive on the drawing with everything else. A page that lists them for every house is a page that is wrong for most of them.

Take the five drawings on the left list with the tape measure and the enquiry answers itself. Where a dimension is unknown, write it down as unknown: a stated gap is easier to design around than a filled-in guess. Send the plan to our engineers.

Single phase 220 V at 50 Hz: what the supply has to carry

This model is quoted for 220 V, 50 Hz, single phase, with a 4.7 kW motor. For a house that never had a three phase connection, that is the figure that decides whether a lift can be added without asking the utility for a new supply.

The drive motor is the largest single load stated on this page. The control system and the door operator arrive with the lift, so they are not a separate supply problem. The question an electrician has to answer is whether a single phase circuit can be run to the lift position and dedicated to it.

Confirm three things before ordering rather than one. The voltage at the position as installed, the frequency, and whether the circuit can be dedicated. A supply that measures 220 V at the main board can read differently at the far end of a house with heavy loads on it, and the lift is the load that will notice.

What this model asks for

220 V, 50 Hz, single phase, as stated in this model's own block.
A circuit that can be dedicated to the lift, from the board to the lift position.
An isolating point that stays accessible once the installation is finished.
Protective gear and cable sizing chosen for the 4.7 kW motor by the electrician.
The supply measured at the lift position, not assumed from the board.

What to bring to that conversation

The motor figure, 4.7 kW, and the voltage and frequency it is quoted for.
Whether the supply is single phase or three phase at the property.
Where the supply enters the house, and the route to the lift position.
What else shares the circuit today, and what will share it later.
Whether the route is inside the heated envelope or passes through a cold space.

The supply a household actually has

Most enquiries for this model come from houses with a single phase supply and no intention of changing it. That is exactly the case the single phase 220 V figure is quoted for, and it is why this page leads with it rather than with the motor. A lift that needs three phase is a different project in most countries: a utility application, a board change, and a much longer lead time.

Where the property does have three phase, single phase is still the supply this model is quoted for. Running one phase of a three phase supply to the lift is normal practice, and it is the electrician's call against local rules. What matters at the order stage is that the figure is written down and matched.

Supply-side protection, cable size and earthing are designed to the local wiring rules by the electrician who installs them; this page states the supply the lift is quoted for, not the installation around it. Where the lift position has no supply yet, the single phase automatic hydraulic home elevator is the closest page in this range, and our engineers will answer the supply question with the drawing.

Hydraulic, gearless traction or screw driven: how the choice reads

Three drives are common in houses, and each one moves a different part of the cost. The comparison below is about the arrangement each drive forces on the building, because that is the part a family lives with. Figures quoted in this table are this model's own; the other two columns describe how those arrangements behave, and the pages linked underneath carry their own numbers.

What it costs the house	Hydraulic, machine room less (this model)	Gearless traction
Space above the shaft	No room is kept for machinery; 3 m of clear height still applies	Machine and sheave stand at the top of the run
Plan area	The car plus the area the drive equipment and its service access need	The car plus a counterweight travelling beside it
Excavation	0 m pit: the lowest landing is entered at floor level	A pit and a shaft head are normally part of the design
Supply	4.7 kW on single phase 220 V, 50 Hz	Quoted per model; often a three phase supply
Ride and noise	Lowering is oil controlled rather than motor driven, and the machinery above the shaft is modest	No gearbox in the drive train, which is why quiet running is the usual claim
Service access	Drive equipment reached where it stands, with the clearance its maker specifies	Machine reached through the shaft head
Best fit	Houses with floor level entry, 5 stops and a single phase supply	Taller runs and houses where a shaft head and a counterweight already fit

Where the screw drive sits

A screw driven lift needs no pit, no machine room and no counterweight, which is why it turns up in the same conversations. It trades that simplicity for travel and speed, so it suits short runs between two or three floors rather than a five stop house. Where the run is longer, the hydraulic arrangement on this page and the traction arrangement above it are the two that carry the distance.

The three letters at the centre of this page — MRL — describe where the machinery lives, not how the car is moved. A hydraulic MRL elevator such as this one and an MRL traction machine both answer the same planning problem, and they answer it with different shafts. The slim machine room less backpack lift is the traction answer in this range.

Choosing between them is a drawing exercise rather than a preference. Send the plan, the heights and the supply, and the comparison is returned with your own dimensions in the columns. Ask our engineers which arrangement fits.

Safety equipment, the certification line, and the walk-through

One device is named in this model's own block: an emergency stop button. That is the deliberate control, the one a person presses when they decide the lift should not move, and it is the device a household asks about first.

The same block carries no certification line at all. That is worth saying plainly rather than leaving to inference: this page claims no certificate for this model, and the equipment is supplied against your drawing and your market's requirements as agreed in the order. If a project needs a document, ask for that document by name and it is answered against your site rather than assumed from a website.

What the walk-through should cover

A commissioning visit is the one chance to test the lift with the people who will use it. The list below is written for that afternoon rather than for a filing cabinet: each line is something you can watch happen.

Acceptance walk-through

Level at every landing: the car floor and the landing floor meet without a step or a lip.
Door cycle at every landing: opening, closing, and the moment the drive is allowed to start.
Emergency stop pressed and reset at least once, with the household watching it happen.
The call controls at each landing, checked from the floor rather than from inside the car.
The isolation point identified, and the way it is locked off explained to the owner.
What the lift does during a supply interruption described for this model, not in general.
Documents handed over: what was supplied, what the warranty covers, who to call.

Ticked so far: 0 of 7

Terms worth agreeing before the lift arrives

Two answers belong in writing with the drawing. The first is the behaviour of this installation during a supply interruption: it is a property of the delivered unit, and a general statement about home lifts is not a substitute for it.

The second is the maintenance schedule for the model you buy, including the door operator, which is the component with the most to wear on a lift with automatic doors. The warranty on this model runs 1 year on the equipment supplied, with the start point and the exclusions on the order confirmation.

This page claims no certification for this model, because its own specification block names none. That is a statement about this page, not about the lift: where a project needs a declaration or a local inspection, put the requirement in the enquiry and it is answered for your market. Ask what applies where you are building.

From enquiry to handover: how a made-to-order lift runs

A lift of this kind is not taken off a shelf, and the sequence below is why. The travel, the landings, the entrance level and the finish are all decided before anything is cut, so the first weeks are drawing work rather than manufacturing.

The order of the six stages matters more than the dates, because two of them depend on the building rather than on the factory. Nothing is manufactured until the drawing is approved, and nothing is installed until the shaft is ready to receive it. Both are usually the point where a project either runs smoothly or waits.

1. Send the measurements

Landings, floor-to-floor heights, clear height above the top landing, plan area and the supply at the position. A sketch with dimensions is enough to start; the printable sheet at the end of this page is written for exactly this.
2. The arrangement is drawn

The factory returns the arrangement for your building: where the car sits, where the drive equipment stands, how the landing doors are handed, and the dimensions the shaft has to finish to. This is the drawing that fixes the plan, and it is checked against the building rather than against a typical layout.
3. Shaft and supply prepared on site

This is the part that runs in parallel with the factory. The shaft is finished to the drawing, the entrance is set at floor level, and the single phase circuit is brought to the position by the electrician who will certify it.
4. Manufacture and test

Manufacture follows the approved drawing. Delivery is quoted at 45 working days from approval, with the packing stated as an export non-fumigation wood box, which is also what protects the cabin finish in transit.
5. Installation and commissioning

The lift is assembled into the prepared shaft, the doors are set at each landing, and the control system is commissioned and levelled. Arrangements for installation and commissioning on site are agreed per project rather than assumed, so put them in the enquiry.
6. The hand-over visit

The walk-through in the previous section happens here, with the household present: levels, door cycles, the emergency stop, the isolation point and the documents. The 1 year warranty period starts where the order confirmation says it does.

The two stages where projects wait

Approval and site readiness are the two points that add weeks when they slip, and both are outside the factory's control. A drawing that comes back with a question about headroom costs one exchange; a shaft that is finished before the drawing is approved can cost a rebuild.

For that reason the sequence on this page is deliberate: measurements, then drawing, then building work, then manufacture. A project that reverses the second and third steps is a project where the lift is asked to fit something that already exists.

Installation, shipping and after-sales are arranged per project rather than sold as a package, so the destination and the site conditions belong in the first enquiry. Send the measurements and the destination and both come back in the same reply.

Upkeep, the parts that wear, and what the 1 year covers

A home lift is a small amount of machinery in daily use, and the maintenance it needs follows the parts that move. The door is the busiest of them: on a lift with automatic doors, every trip at every landing works the operator, the door tracks and the locks. The drive itself has less to wear, because a hydraulic arrangement has fewer moving parts than a traction machine with ropes.

What this page does not publish is a service interval, because no interval appears in this model's own blocks. The schedule for the unit you buy is issued with it, and it is the schedule to follow rather than one quoted from a different model on the same site.

The door operator

Opening and closing at every stop is the highest cycle count on the lift. Tracks kept clean and the operator correctly adjusted are the difference between a door that behaves for years and one that starts catching.

The hydraulic side

Oil condition, joints and the pump are the parts to watch on any hydraulic drive. They are checked on the schedule that comes with the unit, by someone who can look at the equipment rather than at a checklist alone.

The control hardware

A microprocessor control reports faults, which is what makes an intermittent problem findable rather than guessed at. Keep the fault record with the maintenance notes so the next visit starts from evidence.

What the warranty covers, and what to ask for after it

Warranty on this model is 1 year on the equipment supplied. The start point and what is excluded are stated on the order confirmation, and those two lines are worth reading as carefully as the specification list, because they define the boundary between a warranty claim and a service visit.

Beyond that period, the useful question is not the price of a service but who attends and with what. Ask for the name of the service route for your market, the schedule the unit is issued with, and where spares come from. Those three answers, in writing, are what keep a lift working ten years after the hand-over visit.

Parts, spares and service arrangements are quoted per project and per market, and a lift is not a product that can be supported from a single warehouse worldwide. Put the destination in the enquiry and the service route is answered with the commercial terms. Ask about service in your area.

Questions that come up before an order

The ten below are the ones that arrive with most enquiries for this model, answered from what the page's own specification blocks state rather than from what is typical. Where an answer depends on your building, it says so.

Can a home lift really be installed with no machine room at all?

Yes, in the sense that no room is set aside for machinery above the shaft. The equipment still exists and still has to stand somewhere dry, level and reachable for a service visit. On this model that position is fixed on the approval drawing, which is why the page says the room disappears rather than the equipment.

What does machine roomless hydraulic elevator mean on this page?

It means a hydraulic drive on a machine room less arrangement: a motor turning a pump, with the drive equipment placed so the building needs no plant room. The short form of the same idea is MRL, and it describes where the machinery lives rather than how the car is moved.

Does a 0 m pit mean no work at the lowest landing?

It means the landing is entered at finished floor level, so no excavation is made under the door. Work does not disappear: the floor build-up at that landing has to suit the entrance, and that is one of the reasons the drawing comes before the site work.

How much headroom does the top landing need?

This model is quoted with 3 m of overhead clearance. Measure it where the car finishes its run rather than in the middle of the room, and measure to whatever is actually overhead, including any beam, duct or lowered ceiling. If the clear space is less, say so with the measurement: it changes the drawing, not the idea.

Can it run on the single phase 220 V supply the house already has?

That is what it is quoted for: 220 V, 50 Hz, single phase with a 4.7 kW motor. What has to be confirmed is the supply at the lift position and whether a circuit can be dedicated to the lift. Both are electrician questions, answerable in an afternoon, and both are better asked before the order than after it.

How much load can it carry?

No rated load is published in this model's specification blocks, so none is quoted here, and a figure taken from another page or another model would be a guess about your lift. The load for your project is confirmed against the car size on the drawing and appears on the rating plate of the unit supplied.

Is 5 stops enough for a house?

Five stops covers the great majority of houses, counted from the lowest floor the car reaches to the highest. The count is not the same as the number of floors in the building, because a basement or a garage level changes it. If your run is longer, the honest answer is a different arrangement rather than a stretched one.

Are the doors automatic, and can the handing be changed?

Automatic doors are what this model is quoted with. The handing, the clear opening and the wall the panels park against are drawing dimensions, so they are settled before manufacture rather than chosen on site, and they are shown on the approval drawing for you to check.

What does the 1 year warranty cover?

The warranty runs 1 year on the equipment supplied. Its start point and what is excluded are stated on the order confirmation, and they are the two lines to read before the lift is ordered rather than after something goes wrong. The maintenance schedule for the unit is issued with it.

How long is delivery, and how is it packed?

Delivery is quoted at 45 working days, counted from approval of the drawing rather than from the enquiry, with supply ability stated as 20 sets per month and a minimum order of 1 set. Packing is an export non-fumigation wood box, which is what keeps the cabin finish intact through the journey.

If your question is not here, it is probably a dimension, and a dimension is answered from your plan rather than from a paragraph. Send it with the measurements.
