The Savaria Vuelift Mini is a space-saving panoramic home elevator available in acrylic or low-iron glass panels with a round design. This model features a fully integrated hoistway for clear views and the smallest footprint in the Vuelift lineup. It supports a capacity of 500 lbs (227 kg) and travels at 30 feet per minute (0.15 m/s).
Homeowners along Florida’s Panhandle coast choose the Vuelift Mini for its discreet elegance in smaller beach homes, townhouses, condos, or tight retrofits where space is limited. Coastline Lift, based in Panama City Beach, provides complete turnkey service from site assessment and permitting to professional installation. Projects typically integrate quickly, with a shallow 3-inch pit standard and ramp option when needed.
Enjoy natural light and open views in a compact elevator that blends seamlessly into your home.

Vuelift Mini Electrical Requirements
The Vuelift Mini requires two dedicated circuits: 230V single phase 50/60 Hz (30 amps) for the main drive and 120V single phase (15 amps) for controls and lighting. Proper grounding and exclusive use of these lines are essential.
Coastline Lift works with your electrician to meet all Florida electrical codes.
The integrated hoistway design reduces construction to small round floor cutouts and a shallow 3-inch pit (or short ramp alternative). The system supports through-floor or balcony-mount landings with simple entrance options.
Coastline Lift conducts full site assessment, obtains permits, and completes installation while ensuring compliance with local wind-load and building codes.
The Vuelift Mini uses a reliable winding drum drive system with aircraft-grade cables and a 1.63 kW motor for smooth, quiet ascent and descent. The compact design and manual sliding gate provide efficient operation in tight spaces with minimal moving parts.
Standard finish: Sandtex Black powder coat. Optional Velvacoat finishes (Silver, White, Grey) and custom RAL Sandtex colors (over 200 options available).
