Residential elevators improve accessibility in both and existing homes. They come in various types such as roped hydraulic, winding drum and counterweight, traction-driven, and vacuum elevators. Pneumatic Vacuum Elevators (PVE) are a great option for people looking for a stylish, safe, eco-friendly system for their home. These light but sturdy structures are built with aluminum and polycarbonate panels and do not require cables, chains, pistons, or counterweights. Accessibility dealers in New Jersey also provide customized installation of PVEs in new and existing homes.
