“Having an elevator in our house has been a valuable asset. During the past three months we have managed to provide access to my grandfather who is in a wheelchair, our family friend who is a paraplegic, a friend who has had a knee reconstruction and our 4 year old daughter who broke her elbow and could not manage the stairs safely. It is used frequently with the weekly shopping and daily washing. Moving furniture and boxes has been effortless. ”

“We had the Compact installed about 18 months ago. I was at a point where I either had to find a way to go up and down stairs or move to a single-storey house. That would have been expensive and we don’t like single-storey houses. It was a lot cheaper to get the Compact and we were able to stay in the home we love. It has totally changed my life for the better. I was also extremely impressed with the engineer’s professionalism when he installed it”
