Thinking about adding a lift to your home but worried it might take up too much space? You’re not alone. Many homeowners in Singapore’s landed properties want the convenience of a home lift, but they also want to keep their living areas spacious and stylish.
The good news is, there’s a solution made just for homes like yours — platform lifts. These compact lifts are designed to fit into tight spots without the need for major renovations, making them ideal for landed properties with limited space.
In this article, we’ll walk you through what platform lifts are, the different types you can choose from, and how they work. We’ll also show you how you can customise your lift to match your décor, plus give you a clear idea of the costs, installation timeline, and what to expect every step of the way.
Making the Most of Your Space with Platform Lifts
Installing a home lift without compromising your living space is possible with platform lifts. These lifts are designed for homes where space is limited, offering a simple way to move between floors without needing extensive renovations. Instead of bulky lift shafts, you get a compact platform that glides up and down. Currently, we offer two main types of platform lifts — screw-driven and hydraulic.
Picture a big metal stick with grooves wrapped around it, like a giant screw. When this screw turns, the platform moves up or down along the grooves. That’s how a screw-driven lift works. Its design takes up very little space, making it ideal for smaller homes. It’s also reliable and easy to maintain, needing just regular checks and some lubrication to keep running smoothly.
Hydraulic platform lifts work a little differently. Think of it like blowing water through a straw to push something up. When the lift needs to rise, it pumps fluid into a tube, which lifts a part inside the system. To lower the lift, the fluid is released back out. These lifts are known for their smooth rides and their “strength” handling heavier loads quietly.
Designed to Complement Your Home’s Style
You can also customise your platform lift’s appearance to match your décor. Our PES-5800 platform lift comes with over 10 styling options, so you can find a look that fits right into your home. Platform lifts are naturally space-saving. Very little structural work is needed, which means your existing interior stays mostly untouched.

Platform lifts are also a cost-effective alternative to traditional home elevators. In Singapore, installation starts from around $40,000. This covers everything from the first site visit to the final handover. We begin by understanding your space and needs, then follow up with a detailed proposal that covers design, technical specs, and the entire scope of work.
Once you’re ready to go ahead, we gather all the parts and prepare for installation. This part takes around 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the lift model and how much you want to customise. The actual installation itself is fast, usually completed within 2 weeks. And because platform lifts need so little structural work, we keep any disruption to your home to a minimum.
After installation, we carry out thorough testing to make sure everything works just right. Once we receive approval from the Building and Construction Authority (BCA), your lift is ready for daily use.
Platform lifts are a smart and space-saving way to add convenience to your home without compromising its layout or style. With screw-driven and hydraulic options to choose from, plus over 10 customisable finishes available for our PES-5800 platform lift, you can easily find one that suits your space and taste. Combined with a smooth installation process, affordable pricing, and minimal disruption to your daily life, platform lifts are a practical solution for every landed homes in Singapore.
