Savaria VueLift Octagonal Acrylic Residential Elevator

A fundamentally different architectural presence in the panoramic elevator category. Eight sides instead of a smooth curve. A 47.75 x 47.75-inch integrated hoistway, 840-pound capacity, premium UV-resistant clear acrylic panels, and a short cab option that reduces overhead to just 96 inches. No machine room. Four entrance configurations. For the home where round is simply not enough of a statement.

Built for Coastal Florida Homes

Engineered for contemporary coastal homes where angular architecture, strong interior lines, and a deliberate architectural statement call for something more assertive than a smooth cylinder. Eight faces, three cab height options, and the full VueLift experience in a more compact square footprint. Scroll to explore every advantage.

Eight-sided architectural profile

Eight flat acrylic faces that interact with light and space differently from a smooth cylinder. Angular, deliberate, and architecturally assertive. The more powerful visual choice for contemporary coastal homes with strong structural lines.

Compact 47.75 x 47.75-inch footprint

Fits within a smaller square envelope than the Round Acrylic's 54.375-inch diameter. For installation areas where a slightly tighter structural footprint is advantageous, the octagonal profile delivers the full VueLift experience in a more compact form.

Three cab height options including short cab

Standard 84-inch cab with 108-inch overhead. Optional 80-inch cab with 104-inch overhead. Short cab at 76.5 inches with just 96-inch overhead. Three configurations to suit homes with different ceiling heights at the top landing.

840-pound capacity, 12 square feet

840 pounds and 12 square feet of cab floor area. Comfortably carries two adults with luggage and everyday cargo. Matches the Round Acrylic's capacity and exceeds the Mini's 500-pound limit.

UV-resistant clear acrylic panels

Eight faces of premium clear acrylic formulated to resist Florida's intense UV exposure without yellowing or discoloring over time. Permanently clear from the day of installation through the full life of the elevator.

Machine-room-less design

The MRL controller sits in the header above the top landing. No dedicated machine room required on any floor. No mechanical equipment consuming living space anywhere in your home.

Four entrance configurations

Type 1 same-side, Type 2 opposite-side pass-through, Type 3R 90-degree right, and Type 6 three-entrance. The same full entrance flexibility as the round models applied to the octagonal profile.

Emergency battery backup included

Every Octagonal Acrylic includes emergency battery backup for cab descent, interior lighting, and alarm in a power outage. Passengers are never stranded between floors for any reason.

STANDARD UNIT REQUIREMENTS

SPLIT UNIT REQUIREMENTS (Ramp Alternative)

The Octagonal Acrylic requires two dedicated circuits. Your electrician should contact Coastline Lift before beginning any electrical preparation.

⚠ Both circuits must be dedicated exclusively to the elevator. Please have your electrician contact Coastline Lift at (850) 558-5331 before starting any electrical work.

Six Layers of Passenger Protection

Every VueLift Octagonal Acrylic meets and exceeds ASME A17.1 and CSA B44 residential elevator safety standards. All units are factory assembled and tested by Savaria before shipping to your home.

Over-Speed Governor and Safety Brakes

Integrated into the winding drum drive. Mechanical safety brakes engage immediately and automatically if travel speed exceeds normal parameters, fully independent of electrical power.

Emergency Battery Backup

Standard on every installation. In a power failure, the battery descends the cab safely, maintains LED lighting, and activates the alarm. No passenger is stranded between floors.

Landing Door and Gate Interlocks

All landing doors and the automatic bi-fold cab gate are interlocked. No movement is permitted unless every access point is fully closed and secured at every stop.

ASME A17.1 Section 5.3 Compliance

Meets and exceeds the specific ASME A17.1 Section 5.3 criteria for avoiding deflection, entrapment, and other safety risks in panoramic residential elevators.

24-Volt Cabin Controls

All push-button controls inside the cabin operate at a safe 24 volts DC. No high-voltage wiring is present within the passenger area at any point during normal operation.

Automatic LED Cab Lighting

Interior LED lighting activates automatically when the cab is occupied. Consistent, reliable illumination at every floor throughout every trip with no manual switching required by any passenger.

Tailored to Your Home and Lifestyle

Every installation from Coastline Lift is configured to the property and the homeowner. Select the upgrades that match your needs during your free consultation.

Sandtex Black

The standard VueLift frame and gate finish. A bold, refined powder coat that complements the eight-sided acrylic panels and works across a wide range of coastal interior design styles.

Velvacoat Silver

A premium textured powder coat finish for a softer, more contemporary appearance. One of the most requested colours for luxury coastal homes along the Florida Panhandle.

Velvacoat White

A clean, bright finish that integrates gracefully into light-toned coastal interiors and allows the octagonal acrylic panels to be the visual focus of the space.

Velvacoat Grey

A balanced neutral finish that works comfortably in virtually any interior palette. The most adaptable Velvacoat option for developers and specifiers across a range of property styles.

Custom RAL Sandtex

Any standard RAL colour in Sandtex powder coat texture. Over 200 combinations available for projects requiring precise interior colour matching.

Short Cab Configuration

76.5-inch cab height reducing required overhead to just 96 inches. The only full-size VueLift option that makes installation possible where top landing ceiling heights fall below 104 inches.

Type 3R 90-Degree Right Entry

Allows the door to open 90 degrees to the right relative to the entry direction at other floors. For complex floor plans where a perpendicular access point is required at a given floor.

Hurricane-Rated Anchoring Brackets

Engineered for Florida Panhandle wind-load requirements. Recommended for all elevated coastal properties, piling homes, and beachfront residences along the Emerald Coast.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Homeowners Are Saying

We were skeptical a real elevator could fit in our 30A beach house, but Coastline Lift made it happen in three days. Professional crew, clean installation, and the PVE30 has been running perfectly for over a year.

R. and T. Morrison 30A, Walton County

Coastline Lift handled every detail from the permit to the final inspection. We chose the colour and showed up on installation day. The elevator has been a genuine life-changer for our household.

L. Hargrove Destin, FL

Added the PVE30 to our Panama City Beach vacation rental. Guests mention it in reviews, bookings are up, and it has already paid for itself. The Coastline Lift team was outstanding from the first call to the last inspection.
