Electrical Requirements for Octagonal Glass Home Elevator
The Vuelift Octagonal Glass 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 square floor cutouts and a 4 to 12 inch pit (or short ramp alternative). The system supports through-floor or balcony-mount landings with flexible entrance configurations.
Coastline Lift conducts full site assessment, obtains permits, and completes installation while ensuring compliance with local wind-load and building codes.
The Vuelift uses a reliable winding drum drive system with aircraft-grade cables and a 3.5 kW motor for smooth, quiet ascent and descent. The octagonal glass design and higher speed provide a premium, spacious ride 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).

Low-iron tempered glass (available in Round+ and Octagonal Glass models) offers superior clarity, strength, and a premium look with no risk of discoloration. Acrylic (in Round and Octagonal models) is lighter and impact-resistant but may yellow over time in direct sunlight.
A small pit is standard (4-12 inches for octagonal models, smaller for round), but a short ramp option is available when pit excavation is not possible.
All models support up to 6 stops with maximum travel of 50 feet standard (55 feet possible with variance).
Dual circuits: 230V single phase 50/60 Hz (30 amps) for the drive and 120V single phase (15 amps) for controls and lighting.
Standard: Sandtex Black powder coat. Optional Velvacoat finishes (Silver, White, Grey) and custom RAL Sandtex colors (over 200 options).
