Eclipse

The Savaria Eclipse is our most popular home elevator, and a low-maintenance, value-packed choice. Its modular design and durable geared chain drive installs quickly, provides a stable ride and does not require a separate machine room. An environmentally-friendly counterweight system reduces motor effort and power consumption and no hydraulic fluid is required.

Geared Chained Traction Drive

Compact geared traction chain drive
The Eclipse uses a low maintenance geared traction system. The top-mounted motor transfers weights up and down within the rail frames, using a chain system.

Machine roomless design
No separate machine room is required for the Eclipse. The elevator controller is mounted remotely, takes up a small space, and is usually located in the home's mechanical room. This adds ease of installation and saves space in the home.

WHY CHOOSE THE ECLIPSE HOME ELEVATOR

Flexible, versatile and robust
The Savaria Eclipse packs in value with its chain drive. Needing as little as 8 feet of overhead space and an 8" pit, site preparation is kept simple.

Infinity

The Infinity’s precision hydraulic drive system is known for its exceptionally smooth ride. The hydraulic tank and contoller are located in a machine room that also keeps the operation noise separated from the elevator cab.

Hydraulic Drive

High efficiency cable

The Infinity uses traditional, or optionally, biodegradable hydraulic fluid (LEED^® qualified hydro-safe vegetable oil) with a cylinder and pump to move the elevator smoothly.

Reliably smooth and quiet
The Infinity home elevator has been a top choice for custom home builders and architects specifying major renovations. Although a machine room is needed, overhead space is as little as 92" for a standard height cab.

WHY CHOOSE THE INFINITY HOME ELEVATOR

Quiet operation
As a benefit of the hydraulic drive, the Infinity model uses a submersible pump and motor to keep the noise level lower. By locating the machine room in a utility area, the Infinity is known for quiet operation while riding it.

Zenith

The Savaria Zenith is our whisper-quiet traditional home elevator. Based on our commercial-grade Orion MRL elevator, the robust Zenith features a unique geared traction counterweight design. Requiring only a small space in a closet for components, the elevator can be installed without a traditional machine room.

Geared Rope Traction Drive

Best ride quality
Engineered from our commercial-grade drive system, the Zenith delivers a butter-smooth ride quality, along with superbly quiet operation. The counterweight roped traction system includes the Savaria commercial motor and gearbox. The machine roomless design means that only a small utility space is needed for the elevator controller, usually in the home's mechanical room.

The Zenith offers a standard 1400 lb capacity, with a reduced capacity of 1000 lb if a higher travel speed is requested (50 ft/minute). The Zenith is also built to more daily trips, showcasing its heavy-duty design.

WHY CHOOSE THE ZENITH HOME ELEVATOR

For those who like the finer things
Based on our commercial-grade Orion MRL (machine roomless) elevator, the Zenith features a geared traction counterweight design offering our quietest and smoothest riding home elevator. With its unique gearbox technology, the Zenith runs as quietly as a gearless elevator.
