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.

Model PVE30 - Capacity 350 lbs, Diameter - 30"
Model PVE37 - Capacity 450 lbs, Diameter - 37"
Model PVE52 - Capacity 525 lbs, Diameter - 52 11/16"

All of PVE's vacuum home lift systems are capable of up to a 35 foot (10,5m) vertical rise over as many as four stops. The unique design of the vacuum residential elevator is a perfect choice for any retro-fit or new construction project and will enhance the value of one's home without the consuming footprint of a traditional home elevator.

Uses include:

• Residential Elevators
• Pool Lifts
• LULA/Platform Lifts
• DumbWaiters
• Yacht/Marine Elevators

The revolutionary technology of the vacuum elevator has changed the way people and goods are being transported vertically within their homes, and furthermore, has done so in an environmentally friendly manner.

Rather than using cables or pistons, the unique residential elevator is powered by one of the most abundant resources in the world… AIR!
