Reimagined | now even more affordable |

Smooth ride, effective use of space, stylish colours, and a surprisingly low price tag. The A-Series also has a convenient online ordering process, which is ideal for busy specifiers and homeowners. It’s perfect for medium-density developers, group home builders, or anyone looking for a practical blend of convenience, affordability, quality and style.

When it comes to residential elevators there can be a significant difference from one supplier to another - we encourage you to do your homework and make sure you are making a well-informed decision. Even the most affordable elevator represents a significant investment, so it’s important to do your research and buy something that you will enjoy using well into the future.

The Powerglide A-Series elevator features our proprietary hydraulic drive which provides a ride of unparalleled smoothness and stability as well as being quiet enough to install in any area of your home. Choose from our range of stylish colours to create a lift car with clean, elegant styling to complement any home.

We’ve 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. With an easy online ordering process backed by our industry-leading support team, you’ll receive all required CAD documentation to complete your design, and documentation to a standard accepted by all NZ consenting authorities. You’ll also have the benefit of a comprehensive 3-year warranty, not that you’re likely to need it…

“The Powerglide documentation was so good that the architect, McKinney + Windeatt, was able to incorporate the lift into their plans, and the design document was sufficient for all the different trades to work off.”
