3-Story Home Elevator

Please click the " Read Article " button to listen.

Installing a 3-story home elevator is becoming an essential trend in modern townhouses and terraced houses. Not only does it make moving between floors easier, especially for the elderly and children, but an elevator is also a valuable piece of furniture that enhances the property's value. At THANGMAYNIDEC, we provide reliable, high-quality installation solutions with comprehensive pricing, helping you own the perfect elevator .

Things You Need to Know About 3-Story Home Elevators

Simply put, a three-story elevator is a vertical transport device specifically designed for buildings with three stops. Unlike passenger elevators in high-rise buildings, this type of elevator focuses on personalization, absolute safety for the elderly and children, and smooth operation in private living spaces.

With short travel distances (typically 9m - 11m), this type of elevator possesses very unique technical characteristics:

• Flexible drive system: Traditional cable-driven technology or advanced systems such as hydraulics and screw drives can be used to optimize space.
• Operating speed: Typically maintained at 0.15m/s - 0.4m/s. Due to the relatively short travel distance between the three floors, this speed ensures smooth operation, avoiding vibrations when starting and stopping at each floor.
• Compatibility: Easily installed in stairwells or dead corners of the house without requiring significant structural modifications to the foundation.
• Power supply: Particularly suitable for domestic power grids (1 phase - 220V), saving homeowners the cost of installing transformers or complex 3-phase wiring.

What load capacity and size are suitable for a 3-story home elevator?

Three-story elevators can be installed in various sizes and load capacities. Below, Nidec Elevators will suggest three of the most suitable load capacities, along with cabin dimensions, shaft dimensions, and top floor height.

1. Load Capacity 200-250kg

Suitable for home renovations, utilizing atrium space, or ultra-small townhouses, for this load capacity in a 3-story house, many customers will prioritize the mini elevator model for home renovations at THANGMAYNIDEC.

2. Load Capacity 350kg

The 350kg capacity elevator is the best choice for newly built houses and townhouses with families of 4-5 members.

3. Load Capacity 450kg

If you are building a new house or have an area of ​​60m2 or more, a 450kg capacity home elevator for a 3-story house is the most suitable option.

Note: These are specifications for joint-venture elevators and can be customized to fit your home's actual dimensions.

Types of Technology Suitable for 3-Story Home Elevators

1. Cable Traction Technology (Nidec KDS / Kinetec Motor)

This is the most popular solution due to the balance between cost and operational efficiency. The system operates on the principle of pulleys and counterweights, allowing the cabin to move stably. This type of motor also makes the price of a 3-story home elevator cheaper compared to other types.

• Fast and agile movement speed ranging from 0.6 m/s to 1.0 m/s.
• The equipment boasts exceptional durability with a lifespan of over 20 years and outstanding energy efficiency.
• Reasonable investment costs coupled with readily available replacement parts make maintenance easy.

2. Hydraulic Technology

This solution is suitable for villas or renovated houses that need to optimize the height of the top floor. The elevator operates using hydraulic piston pressure, providing an extremely smooth ride.

• The biggest advantage is that there's no need to build a machine room, and the pit only needs to be very shallow, below floor level.
• The rescue mechanism is simple: just release the oil valve so the elevator automatically returns to the floor when the power goes out.
• The travel speed is slower than that of cable-driven systems, and the oil system requires periodic inspection every 10 years.
• The price of a 3-story hydraulic home elevator will be higher than that of a cable-driven model.

3. Screw Technology

This is a suitable option for houses where deep intervention into the foundation structure is not possible. The cabin moves in a translational motion along a fixed screw axis, reducing the risk of free fall.

• The biggest advantage is that it almost eliminates the need for a pit, requiring only a 5cm recess in the floor.
• Glass wall designs create a modern, open space and enhance the aesthetic appeal of the home.
• The speed of movement is quite slow and the initial investment cost is higher compared to cable-driven technology.
• This type of technology has the highest price for a 3-story home elevator on the market today.

Does a 3-story home elevator need a machine room?

At Nidec Elevators, for 3-story residential buildings, we always prioritize advising on the 200kg capacity home elevator . This is a revolutionary design that completely solves the space problem for modern townhouses and villas.

Here are three reasons why you should choose a machine-roomless system for your three-story house:

• Absolute height savings

For a three-story house, having to build an additional attic or technical room 1.5m - 2.2m high on the roof not only increases construction costs but also detracts from the overall architectural aesthetics. However, with machine-roomless elevators, the motor is placed directly inside the elevator shaft, so the top floor height (OH) only requires 2600mm, making it easier to obtain building permits and avoiding violations of regulations on townhouse height. This optimizes the size of the elevator on the top floor.

• Aesthetics and refined architecture

A machine-roomless elevator makes a house look neater. Especially if the family chooses a three-story glass elevator, the entire motor system will be cleverly designed and hidden inside the shaft, transforming the elevator into a luxurious piece of furniture instead of a bulky piece of engineering on the roof. Although the glass walls will increase the price of a three-story home elevator, the aesthetic value it provides is still very reasonable.

• Superior performance and energy efficiency.

This type of elevator typically uses gearless motors (like those from Nidec, Japan) combined with permanent magnets, reducing energy consumption by up to 40% compared to traditional models with machine rooms. Furthermore, because there are no high-friction worm gears, the elevator runs extremely quietly, making it ideal for quiet homes. Additionally, you don't need to climb onto the roof to check lubrication or maintain the traction machine; all operations are conveniently performed at the top landing.

Factors Affecting the Price of a 3-Story Home Elevator

• Your home's geographical location: If your home is in a remote province far from major cities, the cost of transporting materials and labor will increase, which in turn will increase the price of a 3-story home elevator. Therefore, we recommend choosing a company with a nationwide branch network to optimize the cost of elevator installation for your family.
• Shaft frame materials: If your house is newly built, installing a concrete shaft frame will help reduce costs. However, if your house is being renovated and you want to add an elevator, you must use a steel frame with glass walls to increase the cabin area for your elevator. Nevertheless, a glass frame will make the price of a 3-story home elevator higher than a concrete shaft.
• Technology and installation type: Currently, there are three types of elevator technology: cable-driven elevators, hydraulic elevators, and screw-driven elevators. However, the newer and rarer the technology, the higher the price of the elevator. If you want an elevator that is both common, long-standing, and affordable, but still meets safety inspection standards, then cable-driven motor technology is the perfect choice.
• Origin and Manufacturer: Imported elevators are always more expensive than joint-venture elevators. However, the majority of the cost of an imported elevator comes from taxes, while the quality is comparable to that of a joint-venture elevator. Therefore, if you want an elevator that costs half the price of an imported one but offers equivalent quality, we recommend purchasing a joint-venture elevator to save costs.

Safety Standards for 3-Story Home Elevators

Safety is the number one priority for our home elevator line . Each elevator is equipped with the following five intelligent safety systems:

• Automatic rescue system: In the event of a sudden power outage, the ARD (Automatic Emergency Drive) will automatically activate to bring the cabin to the nearest floor and open the doors for those inside to exit. This is a particularly important feature if the family has young children or elderly people who often stay home alone.
• Overspeed control device : This is a mandatory mechanical safety stop. In the event of the elevator exceeding the permitted speed or a cable breakage, the Governor will activate the braking system to firmly lock the cabin to the rails, completely eliminating the risk of free fall.
• Anti-jamming door sensor: Uses infrared rays to scan along both sides of the elevator door. When an obstruction is detected (a person's hand, an object, or a pet), the door will automatically stop closing and reopen immediately, completely preventing heartbreaking door-jamming accidents.
• Overload warning system: When the number of people or goods exceeds the rated load capacity (e.g., over 350kg), the elevator will emit an audible warning and will not close the doors. This feature helps protect the traction machine from overload, contributing to a longer equipment lifespan.
• Intelligent door control system : The elevator will only start when all landing doors and cabin doors are completely closed. Magnetic sensors continuously monitor the door status, eliminating the risk of accidents caused by improperly closed doors or safety circuits.

Specifically: At THANGMAYNIDEC, we also integrate an SRS (Self-Release System) and remote door fault monitoring, providing absolute peace of mind for every member of the family.
