Glass Lifts in Kerala

A glass shaft keeps daylight in a stairwell instead of blocking it with a masonry box. For retrofits into finished houses this is often what decides it, because a self supporting glass shaft avoids the civil work a concrete shaft needs.

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

  1. Enquiry. You tell us the building, the floors and what the lift is for.
  2. Site visit. Our engineers measure the shaft, pit and headroom and check what is possible.
  3. Drawing and approval. You get a detailed drawing of the site and the lift to approve before anything is made.
  4. Manufacturing. The lift is built to the approved drawing.
  5. Pre-installation visit. A second site visit confirms the shaft is ready before delivery.
  6. Delivery and installation. Delivery within three months of the order, installation in 10 to 20 days.
  7. Testing and handover. Full quality and safety check, then handover.
  8. 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We do not publish a fixed price, because the shaft, the drive and the finish change it too much for a phone estimate to mean anything.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.

Structural glass or glazed infill

A structural glass shaft uses the glass and its framing as part of the structure. It looks cleanest and shows least steel. A steel frame with glazed infill is more forgiving of site tolerances and costs less. Both work. The choice is budget against how much metal you want to see.

Retrofit into a finished house

The common pattern is a self supporting shaft dropped into the void at the centre of a dog leg stair, or placed against an outside wall with a landing cut at each floor. Because the shaft carries itself, the existing slab usually needs local strengthening at the base and nothing more.

Privacy

Full glazing past a bedroom landing is rarely what people want once they live with it. Fritted, tinted or opaque panels at those levels fix it without losing the daylight that justified the glass.

Frequently asked questions

Can a glass lift go into a finished house?
Yes. A self supporting glass shaft in the stair void or against an outside wall is the standard retrofit, and avoids building a masonry shaft through the house.
Does a glass shaft need its own foundation?
Usually local strengthening at the base, not a new foundation. The site visit confirms what the existing slab can take.
Is it private enough for a bedroom floor?
Specify fritted or tinted panels at those landings.
