Residential A-Series Elevator
Description

Smooth ride, effective use of space, stylish colours, and a surprisingly low price tag, the Residential A-Series elevator is perfect for medium-density developers or group home builders looking for a practical blend of convenience, affordability, quality, and style.

The Powerglide A-Series elevator features Powerglide's proprietary hydraulic drive which provides a ride of unparalleled smoothness and stability as well as being quiet enough to install in any area of the home.

Powerglide have simplified the specification process by narrowing the A-Series to two car configurations, and car sizes that suit the two most common shaft sizes used by architects when making the most of tight spaces. Powerglide offer an easy online ordering process backed by an industry-leading support team, and will provide all required CAD documentation to complete the design, along with documentation to a standard accepted by all New Zealand consenting authorities.

A-Series is available in a choice of 11 stylish colours from traditional to statement colour pops, and comes with a comprehensive 3 year warranty.
