Vuelift Home Elevator Electrical Requirements
The Vuelift Round Acrylic 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.

Installation in Florida Coastal Homes

The integrated hoistway design reduces construction needs to round floor cutouts and a small 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.

How the Savaria Vuelift Round Acrylic Operates

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 machine-room-less configuration keeps all components integrated for a clean, efficient operation with minimal moving parts.
