Why customers choose Capricorn
Gearless drives on every model
The whole range runs gearless, rope or belt driven, so the ride is quieter and uses less power than older geared equipment.
ARD with UPS as standard
Every model includes an automatic rescue device with UPS. In a power cut the car goes to the nearest landing and the doors open.
Masonry or glass shaft
Models suit a masonry shaft, a metallic shaft or a self supporting glass shaft, so a lift can go into a finished house as well as a new one.
AMC for every brand
We maintain lifts we did not install. If your current supplier has gone quiet, you do not have to replace the lift to get it serviced.
Delivery in three months
Manufacturing starts once you approve the drawing. Delivery is within three months of the order and installation takes 10 to 20 days.
Service visits every two months
After handover our team visits every two months to keep the lift running, on top of the breakdown cover in your contract.

From enquiry to handover
- Enquiry. You tell us the building, the floors and what the lift is for.
- Site visit. Our engineers measure the shaft, pit and headroom and check what is possible.
- Drawing and approval. You get a detailed drawing of the site and the lift to approve before anything is made.
- Manufacturing. The lift is built to the approved drawing.
- Pre-installation visit. A second site visit confirms the shaft is ready before delivery.
- Delivery and installation. Delivery within three months of the order, installation in 10 to 20 days.
- Testing and handover. Full quality and safety check, then handover.
- Ongoing support. Technical visits every two months, with AMC options for the longer term.
What it costs
We do not publish a fixed price, because the shaft, the drive and the finish change it too much for a phone estimate to mean anything. What we do is visit, measure the shaft, pit and headroom, and give you a written quotation against a drawing you have approved. If you are comparing us with someone else, check whether their figure includes the shaft work, the electrical supply to the controller, the rescue device and GST, because that is usually where two very different numbers come from.
Where it works
A capsule lift pays for itself where there is something to look at. An atrium, a stairwell around a double height space, or an external wall with a view. Boxed into an internal shaft with walls close on all sides, the glazing is wasted. A standard car with a glass rear panel gives most of the effect for much less.
Heat and glare
A glazed shaft on a west or south wall gets very hot by afternoon. Specify heat reflective or solar control laminated glass and ventilate the shaft head. Without that the car is uncomfortable and the controller runs hot.
Cleaning access
Glass needs cleaning on both faces. Decide how that will happen during design, whether from the landings or by a maintenance route at the head. Adding access to a finished glass tower afterwards is expensive and usually looks it.
Typical capsule configuration
| Capacity | 3 to 13 persons |
|---|---|
| Shaft | Structural glass, or steel structure with glazed infill |
| Glazing | Laminated safety glass, solar control on external walls |
| Drive | Gearless machine-room-less traction |
| Doors | Automatic sliding, full vision or frameless glass |
| Shape | Semi circular, faceted, or rectangular with glazed faces |
Frequently asked questions
- Is a capsule lift suitable for a home?
- Yes where the house has a stairwell or atrium worth looking into. In a fully enclosed internal shaft it adds cost without the visual benefit.
- Does the glass get hot?
- On a wall facing the afternoon sun, yes, unless you specify solar control laminated glass and ventilate the shaft head.
- Is glass safe for a lift car?
- Laminated safety glass is used throughout. It holds together if broken, which is why toughened glass alone is not used.
- How is it cleaned?
- Through an access route agreed at design stage, either from the landings or at the shaft head.
