A Home Favourite: The Pitless Screw-Driven Lift Explained

A new favourite in home design, the screw-driven home lift combines safety, convenience, comfort and style while upgrading the home and enhancing everyday wellbeing.

1. Safe and reliable

Driven by a nut and screw, with a simple mechanical braking structure, its design prevents both top-overrun and bottom-impact. It is widely recognised as one of the safest lift structures available.

2. Space-saving

No pit or machine room is needed, making better use of space with a small footprint and minimal reserved dimensions—ideal for tight spaces.

3. Smooth running

The meshing nut and screw drive the lift smoothly. HOUSTY screw-driven home lifts feature dual-patented quiet technology, keeping noise below 50 dB for a silent, comfortable ride.

4. Attractive design

With a minimalist look and clean lines, plus a choice of 100+ artistic feature walls and 128 RGB ambient lighting options, HOUSTY lifts blend into any interior style.

5. Easy to install

The integrated shaft leaves the existing civil structure untouched, removes the need for excavation, and simplifies installation.

6. Energy-saving and eco-friendly

High-efficiency motors and a patented control system cut energy use, while recyclable materials meet EU green requirements.

7. Smart control

HOUSTY’s proprietary smart control system offers one-touch call, remote operation and more—fast and convenient.

8. Easy maintenance

Screw-driven home lifts have the longest service life of any home lift and require little maintenance; depending on frequency of use, one or two services a year are enough.

9. High adaptability

Power comes from the meshing nut and screw, so speed can be adjusted to user needs—HOUSTY lifts offer a freely adjustable speed of 0.15–0.3 m/s.

10. Strong value for money

Although the initial purchase may cost slightly more than a conventional lift, the long service life, low maintenance and outstanding performance deliver excellent value.
