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We do not publish a fixed price, because the shaft, the drive and the finish change it too much for a phone estimate to mean anything.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.
Sizing for a Kerala home
A 3 to 6 passenger lift covers almost every house we survey. Under 6 passengers you can usually avoid a machine room, which keeps the installation inside the existing stair core. If the house is already built, a self supporting shaft can go in the stairwell void or against an outside wall. Glazing the shaft keeps light in the stairwell.
Salt air and humidity
Houses near the coast or the backwaters need corrosion resistant parts. We specify hairline or matte stainless for the car and frame, sealed landing door tracks, and powder coated guide brackets. Houses that stay locked for months while the family is abroad also need a controller cabinet that handles humidity.
Power cuts
Every lift we supply includes an automatic rescue device. On mains failure it runs the car to the nearest landing on battery, opens the doors and holds them open. Check that any quotation you compare includes this. It is often priced as an extra.
What happens after you call
We visit the site and measure the shaft, pit and headroom. You get a drawing for approval before anything is manufactured. Delivery is within three months of the order. Installation takes 10 to 20 days once the shaft is ready, then testing and commissioning before handover.

Frequently asked questions
- How much space does a home lift need?
- A 3 passenger machine-room-less lift usually needs about 1200 x 1200 mm of clear shaft. Smaller is possible with a reduced capacity car. We confirm the usable shaft on site once wall thickness and the stair opening are measured.
- Can a lift be added to a house that is already built?
- Yes. The usual options are a self supporting shaft in the stairwell void, an external shaft against a side wall, or a corner taken from stacked rooms on each floor.
- Does it need a machine room?
- No, for the capacities most homes use. The gearless drive sits inside the shaft.
- What happens during a power cut?
- The automatic rescue device takes the car to the nearest landing on battery power and opens the doors.
- How long does it take?
- Delivery within three months of order. Installation takes 10 to 20 days once the shaft is ready.
