Interior features

The Cibes A4000 has a safe and reliable screw-driven system and operates with hold-to-run operation inside the lift. Simply keep the button pushed to travel and release it to stop.

This elevator model has a rated load of 600 lbs and can take up to 3 passengers, depending on your choice of lift size. Because it is a platform lift, it travels at a reduced speed of max 30 FPM.

In fact, it is the reduced speed that makes the small footprint of the Cibes A4000 possible. Why? Simply because high-speed elevators need much bigger and bulkier supporting structures to take the forces of the higher speed.

  • Ready-made lift shaft in steel panels (glazing is optional)
  • Panoramic steel doors with tempered and laminated safety glass and concealed door closers

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I get a 1 stop elevator for my home?

    While it is common to hear someone say they only need a 1 stop elevator, there will always be a minimum of 2 stops when it comes to a home elevator.

  • Is an elevator a solution to futureproof my home?

    An elevator in your home is definitely a solution to living longer in your current home. It will reduce the need to use the stairs when your mobility changes.

  • How many people can fit into the home elevator?

    Residential elevators have an average lift capacity of 1,000 pounds, more than enough for four people. The size of the elevator car, however, usually limits the elevator to the number of people it will hold. A typical home elevator car size is 15 square feet.

  • How much space will I need for a home elevator?

    Even small residential elevators take up several square feet of your home’s living space. Typically, the minimum space required for a residential elevator is 20 square feet. Depending on your home’s floor plan, you may be able to install the elevator and its shaft in a large closet.

    When calculating your elevator space requirement, you need to consider the elevator’s height and the size of the shaft pit, which is usually six to eight inches deep. If a machine room is required, the size of the room should be included in the minimum space necessary for the residential elevator.

    You can find more information on elevator space requirements in our blog

  • How do I clean my elevator?

    The type of cleaning agents used to clean residential lifts and elevators is important and should be included in the manufacturer’s operating manual. Here is an overview:
    1. Start by dusting all surfaces in the elevator to avoid dirt and dust accumulation.
    2. Use furniture cleaning solutions to clean and polish wood panels and accessories.
    3. Disinfect the buttons on hall calls, car operating panels, handrails, and gate handles often. When doing this, make sure you use the proper cleaning agent. We explained this further in the blog.
    4. Clean mirrored surfaces and glass panels with standard glass cleaners.
    5. Vacuum and shampoo carpeting and rugs as you would any high-traffic area.
    6. Cleaning the elevator doors is an important part of cleaning your lift. Obstructions in the door can cause performance issues. Clean up any spills or mess around elevator doors promptly, and routinely check that door pathways are clear of debris.
