Many older villas and duplex properties were constructed without any lift planning, leaving no ready-made concrete shaft on site. Pouring a new concrete shaft is time-consuming, costly and will damage completed interior finishes.

Numerous suppliers resort to site-welded steel structures as a workaround. However, on-site cutting, welding and painting result in inconsistent build quality, uneven glass gaps and exposed messy wiring. Such installations are prone to creaking noises and water ingress over time and spoil interior aesthetics — this is the biggest headache for homeowners retrofitting a lift.

ZADIM offers two shaft-free solutions:

  • Option 1: Steel-Structure Frame Cost-effective; outer cladding to be finished by your interior contractor. Flexible installation positions. Anti-corrosive surface coating treatment. Available colours: White, Black, Brilliant Silver.

  • Option 2: Aluminium-Alloy Frame (ZADIM standard specification) Self-contained framed-glass design with no extra building modification costs. Excellent light transmission, blends seamlessly with interior décor. Flexible installation positions, corrosion-resistant with long service life. Constructed from industrial-grade aluminium alloy; safety laminated glass is fitted as standard.

Core Advantages of ZADIM All-in-One Shaft

Unlike many third-party assembled “all-in-one shafts” available on the market, ZADIM factory-produced shafts feature fully concealed guide rails and cabling with no exposed wiring. Three-sided panoramic and full four-sided glass panoramic versions are available. Rooted in Scandinavian minimalist design, the shaft harmonises perfectly with modern-luxury and minimalist interiors. The full range adopts machine-room-free design, so no separate dedicated machine-room space is required. Both screw-driven and steel-belt-driven product lines can be directly paired with factory-integrated shafts to suit varied building conditions.

  • Against a wall – wall-mounted layout, preserves main living-area floor space

Key purchasing pitfalls to avoid

Many suppliers advertise “all-in-one shafts”, yet they merely fit standard lift machinery onto site-welded third-party steel frames, which are not factory-prefabricated assemblies. When selecting a product, always verify: whether the shaft is purpose-matched as original factory equipment, whether it is pre-manufactured in-factory, and whether cabling can be fully concealed. ZADIM panoramic all-in-one shafts are purpose-engineered as original complete-system components, with no third-party steel-structure splicing or modification, to guarantee overall system safety and visual quality.

There is no need for disruptive concrete-shaft pouring when no shaft has been reserved. ZADIM factory-prefabricated panoramic all-in-one shafts deliver safety, visual appeal and convenient installation, with proven solutions for both renovation projects and new-build properties.
