Two person homelift
A two person homelift is a functional residential elevator that is ideal for domestic use. It is designed to take two people standing up or one person seated between the floors of a building. It has a larger cabin space than a single person homelift, making it possible to transport two people in the same trip. It is, however, still compact. This means it is possible to fit one comfortably in most homes. It is ideal for individuals with mobility issues, elderly people living independently, and people wishing to future-proof their home so it continues to suit them as their needs change.

Advantages of a two person homelift
If you are looking for a homelift which maximises its internal space but still fits seamlessly into your home, then a two person homelift may be a good choice for you.
- It is especially useful for single individuals, couples, or people who have in-home care.
- An electric homelift is reliable and quiet because it operates using a self-contained rope-drum system.
- If a homelift is electric, there is no need to install a motor room or hydraulic pump.
- You can expect a two person homelift to be quiet. It emits around 60 decibels – the same amount of noise as a fridge.
Disadvantages of a two person homelift
Depending on your needs in terms of space or accessibility, another homelift may be more suitable for you.
- It may not immediately accommodate a wheelchair without adaptations; in this case, you can look at wheelchair homelifts instead.
- If you need to carry more than two people, wheelchair homelifts may also be a more suitable option for this.
Pricing, installation and maintenance
The average cost of a two person homelift starts from £15,000.
Installing a home lift doesn’t necessarily mean lengthy building works or expensive structural changes in your home. In fact, a homelifts installation can take as little as one day to install. With homelifts that use a rope-drum drive system, which is integrated into the cabin, and a self-supporting structure, you can avoid structural work in your home. This also means that there is no need to install a motor room or hydraulic pump. This type of homelift can also be plugged into a standard plug socket.
It is important to have a yearly service of your homelift, like you would with other household appliances.
