Principles of Operation
Using turbine-powered suction and a unique cylindrical design, Vacuum Elevator by PVE eliminates the need for traditional cables or pistons, providing efficient and smooth vertical movement through the power of air pressure.
- The piston gear moves almost without friction and lifts the car because of the gas hollow on the upper part.
- A opening that controls how much air gets in controls the pneumatic depression, lets the car go down, and controls how fast it goes
- The bottom of the shaft is open so that air can get in freely when the pressure is at normal level.
- At each floor or level, air pressure makes the seals on the door’s edges close on their own.
- The car has locks that make it stop at the top and bottom of its range.
- In case of free fall, a safe device (a chute) stops the fall.

Air Pressure Technology for Smooth and Precise Vertical Motion
EFFORTLESS MOVEMENT
A Cylinder Inside a Tube, Using Air Suction to Gently Move You Up and Down with Precision
User-friendly
With a sleek design, Home elevators by PVE is your trusted partner for reliable, space-saving lift solutions for residences across Florida. As the only Home elevators in the world powered by air, these panoramic lifts perfectly blend beauty, simplicity, and technology to enhance everyday living. With a variety of sizes to choose from, homeowners will gain additional accessibility and transform their residences with these eco-friendly Home elevators.
EXTERIOR CYLINDER
The cylinder is a transparent self-supporting tube around a specially designed aluminum structure. The tube walls contain curved polycarbonate sheets. The tube consists of modular sections, which easily can fit into one another. The roof of the tube, made of steel, ensures air-tight closures with suction valves and inlets.
ELEVATOR CAR
The car runs inside the cylinder on rails/columns, which are part of the same self supporting structure of the cylinder. The walls of the car consist of transparent polycarbonate panels. The car also has an an anchoring system that activates on reaching the indicated floor, provides precise but smooth stops, and locks the car mechanically.
SUCTION ASSEMBLY
or “Head Unit” is on the top of the tube/cylinder, where the turbines, the valves, and the controls are present. The control cabinet is a metal box housing with a PVE controller board and other electric devices. The head unit is present on either the same tube that holds the car (standard), or separately (split unit) at distances of up to 30 linear feet (10m) from the lift. The frame of the suction assembly is of either fiber glass or steel depending upon the model.
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.
