SPECIFICATIONS
QUALITY CONSTRUCTION
Our Standard Residential Lift is designed for strength, safety, and style. Crafted from durable galvanised steel and marine-grade plywood, this lift is built to last. The lift car comes with a ‘paint/décor ready’ finish, allowing flexibility for clients to use it as a blank canvas, whether to seamlessly blend it into their home’s aesthetic or make a bold statement with personalized decor.
At Simplex, we offer personalized design consultations, allowing you to tailor elements like lighting, floor and wall coverings, stainless steel handrails, and lift control panels to perfectly suit your space.
​
TAILORED TO CLIENT REQUIREMENTS
At Simplex Elevators, we make the process easy for both our clients and their architects and builders. Our lifts are custom-sized to fit your plans and tailored to meet your specific needs. Whether you prefer one-side, walk-through, or right-angle entry options, we’ve got you covered. And because each lift is custom made, it’s also an ideal solution for retrofit installations, perfect for clients undertaking home renovations or adding a lift to an existing home.
The lift car is designed and manufactured to measure once the lift shaft is constructed and the doors are installed. For new builds, lift guide rails are fitted prior to the roof installation, with lift car manufacturing and installation taking place once the doors are fixed and before painting begins.
The final stages include adding decorative finishes, wall and floor coverings, and full fit-off. We then complete all safety testing and ensure the lift meets compliance certification before handover.
​
TAKING CARE OF COMPLIANCE
At Simplex Elevators, compliance is built into every step of the process. All our lifts are engineered to precise design specifications and fully comply with the New Zealand Building Code. To support your building consent application, we provide an engineer’s PS1 Design Producer Statement. After installation, an independent inspection is carried out to ensure everything meets the highest safety and quality standards. We then issue a site-specific Producer Statement and a PS4 Certificate for final Council Code of Compliance.
With Simplex, you can have confidence that your lift installation is not only tailored to your needs but also fully certified and council-ready.
