Traditional, glass and pneumatic residential elevators
Our traditional models run on a traction drive or a hydraulic system and lift up to 950 lbs.
Our panoramic models stand alone and need no hoistway. They take up very little floor space and give a 360 degree view.
See the Visi-48, Visi-58, Visi Mini, Vision EC, Vision 350, 450 and 550.
Picture a home elevator that blends into your house or your building plans, fits where others cannot, and is designed around your own style and decor. That is what an Artisan custom elevator offers. Bring us your vision and we will turn it into a reality.
The Freedom Green is our most popular home elevator. It runs on an environmentally friendly counterweight system with a highly energy-efficient motor.

The Visi-48 is an octagonal home elevator with crystal-clear acrylic panels that adds elegance to any style of home.
The Visi-58 is a round home elevator that pairs engineering with striking looks.
The Visi Mini carries two standing passengers and tucks tight into a corner, which makes it our best space-saving home elevator.
The Vision EC is a two-stop accessibility lift that passes through a simple cut-out in the floor, so it retrofits easily into an existing home.
The Vision 350 is the world’s smallest residential elevator, small enough for even a modest home. If you thought an elevator was out of reach because of space, this is the model to look at.
The Vision 450 is an air-driven elevator for two adults that fits almost anywhere in the home.
The Vision 550 is the largest air-driven residential elevator available and a strong choice for wheelchair access without a large construction project.
An Artisan elevator can be made to match your decor or built as a glass panoramic showpiece in a shape all its own. Tell us what you have in mind and we will design it.
Whether you are building a new house in the Capital Region or updating a century-old home in Poughkeepsie, a residential elevator makes every floor reachable for everyone who lives there. Nationwide Lifts of New York plans, installs and maintains home elevators around Albany, Glens Falls and the Hudson Valley.
We begin with a no-cost home visit to take measurements and talk through what you need. You receive a written quote, and our own technicians carry out the installation, the testing and the follow-up service.
Cost varies with the drive type, the number of stops, the cab finish and the building work involved. Models without a hoistway generally need the least construction. Read our guide to home elevator cost in the Capital Region and Hudson Valley, or learn how pneumatic home elevators work and what makes glass home elevators different.
A stair lift may be all you need for one staircase, a wheelchair lift solves the steps at the door, and a dumbwaiter handles the carrying. We lay out the trade-offs in home elevator vs stair lift. Request a free home elevator quote.
Not always. Pneumatic and shaftless elevators need no machine room at all. Some traditional drive systems do need a small space for equipment. We explain what each option requires when we visit.
Home elevators are designed with battery backup that brings the cab to a floor and lets you get out safely if the power fails.
It can make a home attractive to more buyers, particularly people who plan to stay in a house as they get older. How much value it adds depends on the home and the local market.
Regular professional service on the schedule the manufacturer recommends, usually at least once a year, keeps an elevator safe and reliable.
