The Symmetry Enclosed Vertical Platform Lift
A self-contained, ASME-compliant enclosed residential elevator installation with no shaft required.

Built for Florida’s Homes and Properties
Adding an enclosed elevator to an existing home doesn’t have to mean major construction. The Symmetry Enclosed installs without a separate shaft, making it one of the more accessible paths to enclosed vertical travel in a retrofit or renovation.
Add an Enclosed Elevator to Your Home or Property
Access Lifts Florida works with homeowners, builders, and architects across Florida’s coast to plan and install the Symmetry Enclosed the right way. Let’s talk about your project.
Get the Full Symmetry Enclosed Specs and Brochures
Everything you need to evaluate, spec, and install the Symmetry Enclosed — from product brochures and the VPL design guide to detailed specification documents and commercial application references. If your project calls for installation into an existing shaft rather than a purpose-built hoistway, the Symmetry Shaftway is worth reviewing as a retrofit-focused alternative on the same platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Symmetry Enclosed require a separate shaft or hoistway?
No. The enclosure itself serves as the shaft. It’s a fully self-contained system. This is one of the key advantages of the Symmetry Enclosed when adding an enclosed elevator to an existing home or property where building a separate hoistway isn’t feasible.
What kind of construction is involved in installing the Cibes Air?
Less than most people expect. The Air is self-supporting, so there’s no shaft to build, no pit to dig, and no machine room required. Installation involves a floor opening and typically takes two to three days once the site is prepped. That’s a major reason the Air works well in new construction where glass elevators are part of the design from the start.
What enclosure wall options are available?
Two options are available: metal infill panels (EL model) or acrylic/laminated safety glass panels (ELP model). The glass option provides a more open, custom enclosed elevator cab interior feel while maintaining full enclosure and code compliance.
Can the Symmetry Enclosed home elevator be installed outside?
Yes. The Symmetry Enclosed is rated for both indoor and outdoor use, making it a strong option for exterior deck access, poolside applications, and coastal properties across Florida.
Is the Symmetry Enclosed hold-to-run?
Yes. The Symmetry Enclosed home elevator operates on a constant pressure (hold-to-run) system, meaning the button must be held during travel both when calling the lift and when traveling between floors. This is standard for ASME residential enclosed elevators / lifts.
