The Ultimate Home Lift for G+1 Houses: Introducing the Ascenda Minivator

The Sharma family had enjoyed their lovely G+1 house in Delhi for years. The ground floor was a lively hub of activity-the kitchen, the dining room, the garden. But the first floor, the “upstairs,” was their sanctuary: Mr. Sharma’s reading room, the grandchildren’s playful den, and the quiet master bedroom.

But the source of the home’s pride soon became its number one problem. Following Mrs. Sharma’s knee replacement surgery, and again as Mr. Sharma’s arthritis advanced, the stairs became an unscalable obstacle. The upstairs sanctuary grew to become a distant, rarely-visited space. The act of carrying heavy laundry baskets up, or simply checking on a sleeping grandchild, had grown into a hazardous, painful task. The grandchildren, full of energy, often rushed up and down the staircase, leaving everyone worried about slips or falls.

The family knew they needed a better way to move between the floors. So they started exploring their options.

A traditional lift?

The moment they heard what it required, they felt overwhelmed.

• They needed to break walls
  
• Dig a deep pit
  
• Sacrifice their storeroom for a machine room
  
• Deal with dust, noise, and months of construction
  

All of this… just for a two-storey home.

It feels like installing a skyscraper lift inside a simple house,” Mr. Sharma joked, but the concern was real. They just didn’t want some huge commercial-style lift. All they needed was a simple, safe, space-saving home lift for G+1 that fitted into their home and made life easier, not turning the house upside down

And this search eventually led them to the perfect answer: Ascenda.

Traditional Lift vs Ascenda (Home Lift for G+1)

To understand why Ascenda was the perfect choice for the Sharmas, here’s a clear comparison:

The Sharmas immediately knew:

Ascenda home lift was exactly what they were looking for.

Meet Ascenda: The Smartest Home Lift for G+1 Homes

The Ascenda Minivator, created by the Cibes Lift Group, was built on the mission to provide accessibility to two-story homes with the highest possible safety standards. It’s a shaftless elevator, meaning it moves without the bulky shaft of traditional systems, making it incredibly space-saving.
At the heart of the Ascenda’s engineering is the EcoSilent Screw Drive System. This advanced technology runs with minimal electrical consumption and ensures maximum safety: the cabin is always attached securely to a toughened steel screw via a nut. On rotation of the nut, the cabin moves up or down. This design has key advantages for a home lift for G+1:

Minimal Footprint: The smallest Ascenda model requires less than 1 sqm of space, offering exceptional flexibility to install it almost anywhere, against a wall, in a closet, or even in an existing void.

No Pit and No Machine Room: This eliminates the need for expensive and disruptive structural work, making installation quick and simple.

Minimal Construction: The required construction work is minimal, usually consisting only of cutting the appropriate rectangular hole in the floor for a “Through the Floor” installation.

Unmatched Safety and Innovation for Two-Storey Access

For a home lift for G+1, safety in crossing the upper floor is paramount. The Ascenda addresses this with an innovative feature designed specifically for floor-to-floor travel: the Innovative Hatch System.

When the elevator descends to the lower stop, a protective hatch slides over the hole on your upper floor. This covers the opening completely, allowing you to walk around the space freely and eliminating any risk of falling through. This single feature provides unparalleled peace of mind in a two-storey house.

Beyond the hatch, the Ascenda is loaded with standard safety features:

• Safety Pan: Should anything come beneath the elevator as it lowers, the moment it touches the safety plate, the lift automatically stops.
• Fully Enclosed Cabin: Beautiful glass saloon doors fully enclose you in the cabin, ensuring the lift is safe for children and pets with zero risk of catchment.
• Emergency Battery Lowering: In case of a power cut, the elevator automatically switches to battery mode and brings the passenger to the bottom floor, where the doors open for a safe exit.

Luxury, Comfort, and Intuitive Control

The Ascenda doesn’t compromise on luxury or ease of use. It is a “fully loaded” elevator, where essential features are included as standard, not hidden as expensive options.

Seamless Design and Comfort

The entire mast and cabin come in a beautiful, all-glass design as standard. This transparent look ensures the lift better fits into your home design, whether as an invisible feature in a corner or a stunning glass centerpiece. Standard features enhancing comfort include:

• Automatic Saloon Doors.
• A Fold-Down Seat for resting during travel.
• A Mirror Ceiling with an integrated fan to provide a fresh breeze.

Intuitive Dual Control

Accessibility is enhanced by the innovative Intuitive Dual Control system. In addition to the traditional call operating panel (COP), the lift features buttons built directly into the handrail.

This Handrail Control is a perfect solution for wheelchair users, as the buttons are always within easy reach and incredibly intuitive. It’s also ideal for those sitting on the fold-down seat, ensuring comfortable and effortless travel between floors.

The Factory-Direct Advantage: Service You Can Trust

Choosing the right home lift for G+1 is about more than just the product; it’s about the long-term support. Ascenda operates on a Factory-Direct model. This means you buy directly from the manufacturer, eliminating middlemen and ensuring the best value and control over the entire value chain.

This factory-direct approach allows Ascenda to deliver exceptional after-sales service, with:

• Locally Trained Technicians: Ensuring smooth installation and adherence to exacting standards.
• Direct Presence: Offering comprehensive maintenance, warranty, and repairs for decades to come. This focus on quality after-sales is why over 35% of their business comes from customer referrals.

For modern convenience, the Ascenda App is an essential safety feature. It allows you to monitor the elevator remotely, receive notifications in case of errors, check on maintenance information, and even call into the elevator’s phone to check on passengers.

The story of the Sharma family is the story of many families living in multi-level homes across India. They faced a common issue: how to preserve the comfort and functionality of their cherished G+1 home without the massive construction.
