WhatIstheResidentialElevator?

The Residential Elevator is a through-floor homelift, providing smooth and quiet travel between floors with external controls on both levels. It sits close to the wall but isn't fixed to it, so when the lift isn't in use, the room it occupies stays free for everyday living.

It comes with Pollock's Intelligent Logic Diagnostic Interface as standard — a digital control system with benefits for end users as well as installers and service engineers, including simplified servicing and reduced fault-finding. The Residential Elevator is manufactured in the UK by Pollock Homelifts, part of the same Pollock Lifts group that's been in the lift access industry since 1983.

Ask a question

What is the maximum load capacity of the Residential Elevator?

The Residential Elevator has a load capacity of 255kg.

What's the difference between traction drive and the optional hydraulic drive?

Traction drive is standard and offers quieter, cheaper-to-run travel with a higher maximum height of 4.2m (extendable to 4.8m). The optional hydraulic drive system has a lower maximum travel of around 3.4m, depending on cabin height.

What cabin sizes and heights are available?

Three cabin sizes — Compact, Twin and Large — each available in three cabin heights: 1800mm, 1900mm or 2000mm.

What is the Intelligent Logic Diagnostic Interface?

It's Pollock's digital control system, unique to Pollock Homelifts, including a trip counter, service due indicator, fault memory log, and self-check safety routine — all designed to simplify servicing and reduce fault-finding.

Can the lift be controlled remotely?

Yes. Optional Bluetooth lets you operate the lift using your phone, and a Voice Activation option supports Alexa integration so you can ask Alexa to call the lift.

Does the Residential Elevator come with a warranty?

Pollock Homelifts' brochure doesn't state a specific warranty period for this model — confirm exactly what's included with your installer before ordering.
