The ASC® Elevator provides a safe and convenient way to get the most out of your two-story home. While this in-home elevator looks great, the top priority is keeping you safe. In fact, the innovative minds behind to ASC Elevator made safety priority number one. With dozens of built-in safety features, ASC owners get more than just safety—they get peace of mind.

The ASC Elevator comes equipped with sensors on top and bottom of the car, an easy-sliding door, door latch sensors, low-step entry and exit, grab bars and non-slip surfaces for stability, see-through panels and many other key features designed to make the ASC the safest in-home elevator you can buy.

In-Home Elevator Safety Features

You’ll see many of the built-in safety features every time you use the ASC Home Elevator—the “all good” indicator light, the sliding door, and the non-slip surface—while other features like sensors, rechargeable batteries, and the emergency fall-stop brake work behind the scenes. Regardless, here is an overview of the features that make the ASC Elevator the safest in-home elevator of its kind.

Rechargeable Battery. The ASC Elevator has built-in charging stations on both floors, so it’s always ready to go when you are. The battery recharges itself by converting kinetic energy to electricity when it’s descending to the first floor and carries enough juice to make up to 10 trips without direct electrical power. This means you never have to worry about being stranded if the power suddenly goes out.
Super Strong Elevator Cables. The ASC Elevator is supported with galvanized steel aircraft cables that have been quality tested for over 10,000 trips. These high-grade cables have a 12x safety factor and a breaking strength around 7,000 pounds—above and beyond the gold standard for most commercial elevators. They are designed to withstand the most demanding circumstances, and there are two of them for added protection and peace of mind.
Fall-Stop Mechanism. In the extremely unlikely event that one of the high-strength cables break, the built-in fall-arrest mechanism automatically (and gently) brings the elevator lift to a stop. This is the same fall-stop prevention technology found in modern commercial elevators.
Top and Bottom Object Sensors. If a child, pet or object is under the elevator car while it’s moving, the ASC’s built-in sensors will automatically stop the car from moving. The sensors will gently stop the elevator they sense anything as small as a dog’s chew toy beneath the car or something the size of a playground ball on top.
Door Safety System. The ASC Elevator is equipped with the same door interlock system found in many commercial elevators. What this means is your home elevator won’t operate until the door is fully closed and locked. This is just another safeguard to prevent anyone from accidentally stepping out of the elevator while it’s moving.

Other leading safety features included with every ASC Elevator include:

  • Low-step entry and exit
  • Carpeted non-slip floor
  • Stability bars inside the cab
  • Sliding, retractable doors
  • Control panel indicator light
  • Pressure-operated control buttons (key fob remote optional)
  • Manual lowering mechanism
  • See-through cab panels
  • In-cab telephone
