Home Lift Cost Overview
One of the most common questions we receive from homeowners and property developers is: how much does a home lift cost? The answer depends on several key factors — primarily the number of floors served and whether the lift includes a full enclosure. In this guide, we break down everything you need to know before making a purchase decision.
Whether you're retrofitting an existing home or planning a new build, understanding the full cost picture — unit price, shipping, and installation — will help you budget accurately and avoid surprises.
Factory-Direct Pricing: $3,500 – $8,000 USD
At Beacon Industries, we supply home lifts directly from our factory, eliminating middlemen and passing the savings directly to you. Our home lift prices typically range from $3,500 to $8,000 USD, depending on your specific configuration.
What Affects the Price?
1. Number of Floors
The more floors your lift needs to travel, the longer the lifting mechanism and guide rails need to be — which increases the cost. A 2-floor lift will naturally cost less than a 4-floor installation. Our lifts are engineered to serve 2 to 4 floors with a travel speed of 14 metres per minute and a load capacity of 350 kg (770 lbs).
2. Enclosure Options
Our home lifts are available with or without a full enclosure:
- Without enclosure — Lower cost option. The lift mechanism integrates into your existing stairwell or open shaft. Ideal for homes with a pre-built shaft or where the surrounding architecture handles the aesthetics.
- With full enclosure — Higher cost option. Includes a complete cabin and structural enclosure, suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. Provides a finished, self-contained appearance that requires no additional shaft construction.

Shipping Costs: $1,500 – $2,500 USD
International shipping costs for a home lift typically range from $1,500 to $2,500 USD, depending on your location and the chosen shipping method. We ship globally and can provide a precise freight quote based on your delivery address at the time of order.
All units are carefully packaged and crated for safe international transit. We work with experienced freight partners to ensure your lift arrives in perfect condition.
Installation: No Engineer Visit Required
One of the biggest advantages of choosing Beacon Industries is our remote installation support model — which means you do not need to pay for an engineer to fly out to your location.
Here's how it works:
- Detailed 3D installation videos — We provide comprehensive step-by-step 3D animated installation guides that walk your local installer through every stage of the process.
- Live online guidance — Our technical team is available to provide real-time support via video call throughout the installation.
- Who can install it? — Anyone with basic installation and electrical knowledge can complete the installation. A competent local contractor or handyman with some electrical experience is all you need — no specialist lift engineer required.
This approach significantly reduces your total project cost compared to suppliers who charge for overseas installation teams.
