Lift interior

The Cibes A5000  operates with hold-to-run operation inside the elevator. You just maintain pressure on the floor button to travel and release it to stop.

This elevator model has a rated load of 880 lbs and can take 4-5 passengers. Because it is a platform elevator, regulations require it to travel at a reduced speed of max 30 FPM.

However, reduced speed also comes with advantages. Whereas high-speed elevators need big and bulky shaft structures to absorb the speed-generated forces, the Cibes A5000 only needs our space-saving, ready-made shaft.

Easy to install

Installing the Cibes A5000 platform lift is a lot easier than you might think. Because the vertical elevator is delivered in ready-made elements, it can be assembled within 2-3 days. In addition, the drive unit and machinery are so compact that they fit inside the shaft. That means that there is no need for a separate machine room, top machinery or a deep pit, which reduces your building costs.

No elevator pit

No top machinery

Low top height

Integrated machine room (MRL)

Panoramic lift shaft

The Cibes A5000 platform lift is available with a panoramic elevator shaft, glazed on all sides, including the machinery side. This is a very elegant shaft solution that makes the most of your natural light and preserves the open and airy feel of your space.

Traveling on an open platform inside a fully glazed shaft is a unique experience, offering you a 360-degree view of your surroundings, without any sensation of confinement. Full glazing is also great for safety, given that passengers inside the elevator are visible at all times.

Wheelchair-friendly elevator

The standard sizes of the Cibes A5000 platform elevator, 39.37″ × 57.76″ or 43.31″ × 57.76″ are big enough for passengers using wheelchairs, walkers and strollers. The largest platform size, 39.37″ × 77.56″, is even large enough for most mobility scooters.
