Forget everything you thought you knew about home elevators. Our environmentally friendly, state-of-the-art residential home elevators help you and your family members move between floors with ease. You can enjoy the luxury of a home elevator without all the hassles of traditional elevators.

Since the design of our elevators is so simple, you only need to call us for a replacement seal every four to five years or 15,000 rides.
Absolute Safety: Fully-certified Home Elevators
Pneumatic vacuum elevators are fully certified by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and have been a tested and proven revolutionary change to the elevating industry over the course of the last ten years. If you need a safe, reliable, and attractive lift in your home without the mess and cost of a traditional home elevator, give us a call to get you in touch with your local authorized PVE® dealer.
Space Saving Solution for your Home
You don’t need a lot of room in your home for one of our home elevators. Our lifts do not require an equipment room and there is no need for a pit/well under the bottom floor or above the top floor for these elevators. For other elevators, these additional spaces are required for the heavy operating equipment, but PVE® home elevators bypass the need for anything else but space for the cylinder. This not only means a smaller footprint in your home but a much less costly and less messy construction project in comparison to a traditional home elevator.
Pack & Go: Self-Supporting Home Elevators
Even if you plan on moving in the future, you don’t have to leave your elevator system behind. PVE® manufactures completely enclosed elevators that are not built into the framework of your home. This means that the self-contained home elevators can be moved to your new home if you decide to relocate in the future. You can even change the elevator’s location inside your existing home if you remodel or add on to your home.
Three Air-Driven Home Elevator Models
Our air driven home elevator line includes choices for one to three adults or for a person in a wheelchair with an attendant. PVE® manufactures our elevators with exterior diameters ranging from a minimal 30 inches to a spacious 52 11/16 inches. The type of elevator you choose will depend on you and your household’s space and needs. For single, standing riders, the PVE® 30 will suffice. The PVE® 37 is a good choice if you need a little more space for two adults to ride, or the option of a foldable cabin seat. And the PVE® 52 is the answer for the wheelchair accessible model or a spacious and luxurious home lift.
Fort Lauderdale’s Neighborhoods & The Future of Senior Living
Fort lauderdale the city is all about living by the water and the relaxed but sophisticated coastal vibe that comes with it – from the top notch high rise apartments along Las Olas Boulevard to the grand canal front mansions in Harbour Beach and Coral Ridge . As these areas change and evolve, theres a growing trend among long term residents in South Florida to ” age in place”. In older neighborhoods like Victoria Park and Rio Vista, where homes were built with high ceilings to catch the water views and make the most of entertaining space, its getting harder to move around as you get older. A home elevator becomes a vital upgrade for safety and independence for a lot of seniors in Fort Lauderdale, keeping you in your dream waterfront and coastal property without the hassle of lugging yourself up stairs every day. Fort Lauderdale’s got a bit of a reputation as ” the Venice of America”, and it’s a city that’s developed from small time boating community to a top notch spot for luxury living, marine culture and year round outdoor lifestyles.
The Fort Lauderdale Advantage: The Bits That Count When You’re Investing
When you’re looking at installing a home elevator in Fort Lauderdale, there are a few local things to bear in mind. Classic hydraulic systems need deep holes dug and a whole other room set aside for the machinery – which is a problem when you’ve got high water tables and flood zones to contend with. Pneumatic Vacuum Elevators (PVE) on the other hand do away with all that and go straight into a pit, meaning they don’t need all the excavation and separate equipment room that hydraulic systems do – which cuts your costs way down. Plus because they are made here in South Florida, you get all the benefits of local production – less hassle with getting parts shipped in, faster install times and being able to get service and support direct from the factory – which all adds up to a much more practical and efficient elevator than one shipped in from outside.
Eco Friendly Innovation in a City That Cares
As Fort Lauderdale gets more and more on board with living in a sustainable way and taking care of the environment, its getting to be more and more important when it comes to home solutions. PVE’s vacuum technology is a real winner here because its incredibly energy efficient – it uses almost no power going up, and then just uses gravity to coast back down. If you live in a place like Lauderdale-by-the-Sea or Las Olas Isles, where everyone is getting so serious about looking after the environment, this is a big plus. And because these elevators are air powered and don’t use any oils or lubricants, you get a really clean and fresh ride – which is just as well, when you’re trying to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air of coastal living in South Florida.
The Culture
Fort Lauderdale’s got a pretty unique vibe where the threads of coastal living, a really rich arts scene and the kind of boating culture that brings people together, all get woven together. Las Olas Boulevard is kind of the heart of the city, with all its galleries, waterfront restaurants, boutique shopping and the Broward Center for the Performing Arts right on the water. And then theres places like Sailboat Bend, which give a real sense of the history and architecture that makes Fort Lauderdale tick, while newer areas are just starting to come into their own as places that really capture the feel of the city.

TESTIMONIALS
I thoroughly enjoy riding in my PVE elevator as its extremely comfortable… I would unhesitatingly, recommend it to people who are confined to a wheelchair like myself, to me it’s that good and reliable!
Tamara Gordon
My house was built in 1925 and it was hard to get something to fit in with the décor of my home, but the PVE fit in perfectly. I am thrilled with the design, engineering, and reliability of the vacuum elevator.

Residential Elevator Manufacturers
Pneumatic Vacuum Elevators LLC is the designer and manufacturer of the vacuum elevator.
PVE currently manufactures three versions of its air driven residential elevators, ranging from single to a three-passenger, wheelchair-accessible home elevator. All of PVE’s vacuum home lift systems are capable of up to a 50 foot (15m) vertical rise over as many as five stops. The unique design of the vacuum residential elevator is a perfect choice for any retrofit or new construction project and will enhance the value of one’s home without the consuming footprint of a traditional home elevator. The innovative home elevator does not require any pre-construction shaft, pit or machine room and can be installed in as little as two to three days. By using a vacuum pump to generate areas of higher and lower atmospheric pressure within the cylinder hoist way, the unit smoothly moves between floors while using much less energy than other home elevators.
