Product Overview
Intelligent customization redefines vertical transportation
The term "home cargo lift" generally refers to a small, utility-focused vertical lift designed exclusively for moving items within a private residence, often serving only two main stops, such as the garage and the main living floor. This category includes devices like vertical reciprocating conveyors (VRCs) adapted for residential use, or small platform lifts that move goods only, never people. Their design emphasizes utility and reliability over speed or aesthetic sophistication.
These systems are highly effective for managing the logistics of daily home life, such as moving heavy containers, tools, or seasonal sports equipment. Installation is often simplified due to low speed and travel height, potentially utilizing a modular structure that is easier to erect than a traditional elevator shaft. They are particularly useful in homes built on sloping lots or those with an elevated foundation where carrying items up external or internal stairs is a recurring challenge.

Product Advantages
Why choose Tenau elevators?
Reduced Cost Basis
As these are typically utility-grade lifts focused purely on cargo, they have fewer complex regulatory and component requirements than passenger lifts, resulting in lower total cost of ownership.
Minimal Maintenance
The simple, low-speed, and low-duty design minimizes wear on mechanical components, leading to less frequent and more straightforward maintenance requirements.
Product Features
Innovative technology, superior experience
- Non-Passenger Control: Controls are explicitly designed to prevent human ride-on, reinforcing the goods-only purpose and simplifying safety compliance.
- Modular Construction: Components are often pre-fabricated, allowing for rapid assembly and reduced on-site installation time within the residential setting.
- Remote Call Stations: Simple push-button call stations at each level allow the lift to be sent up or down without the user needing to manually carry items to the platform.

Factors To Consider When Choosing Elevator
Comprehensive assessment, wise choice
Technical Factors
- Platform Dimensions: Carefully sizing the platform to accommodate the largest intended item (e.g., specific storage bins, large appliance boxes).
- Tie-Down Requirements: Assessing the need for internal car restraints or tie-down points to secure non-rolling cargo during travel.
- Weatherproofing (for external installation): Specifying components and enclosures that meet the necessary IP ratings to withstand rain, humidity, and temperature fluctuation.
Usage Factors
- Clear User Instructions: Providing very clear signage and documentation ensuring that the lift is never used to transport people.
- Foundation Requirements: Ensuring the ground-level support structure is adequate to handle the total dynamic load of the lift, car, and maximum cargo.
- Landing Gate Interlocks: Implementing reliable mechanical and electrical interlocks on the landing doors/gates to prevent access while the platform is not present.
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions you may be interested in
Yes, many home cargo lifts are designed for exterior installation, but they must be rated for outdoor use, typically requiring weather-resistant controls, motors, and stainless steel or galvanized components.
Typically, no. The machinery (motor, gears) is usually self-contained and mounted either at the top of the shaft or adjacent to the platform, eliminating the need for a separate room.
Most residential cargo lifts operate on standard 110V or 220V household electricity, making them easy to integrate into the existing home electrical system.
