Compact Home Lift with a Footprint Under 1m² – ZADIM Complete Package Price Reference

Many owners of duplexes, split-level homes, and older villas find themselves with extremely limited available space – stairwell gaps, corner nooks, often less than 1m². They would like to install a home lift, but worry about major structural work or digging a deep pit. Many compact lifts on the market are basic platform lifts with no proper cabin, compromising ride comfort, sealing, and aesthetics.

The Swedish brand ZADIM offers a solution with a minimum footprint of just 860×860 mm – under 1m² – yet with a fully enclosed cabin and a factory-integrated panoramic glass shaft. It combines practicality, Nordic design, and safety standards, making it ideal for small-space residential installations.

Please note that home lifts are highly customisable products – final prices vary depending on the number of stops, dimensions, configuration, and installation conditions. Below is a price reference and key feature overview for different series to help you compare.

2. Swedish-engineered screw-drive system with a 50mm ultra-shallow pit – can be installed with a ramp instead of a pit, preserving existing finishes.

3. Factory-integrated aluminium alloy fluorocarbon-coated panoramic shaft with a fully enclosed cabin – better privacy and sound insulation compared to open platform lifts.

3. Smart features: facial recognition, IoT monitoring, high-capacity backup power.

4. Site conditions: stair cutting, floor opening and reinforcement, difficult indoor lifting – these are building works, not part of the lift equipment itself.
