The Elevator Company's Equipment-Room-Free (ERF)
Revolution is a state-of-the-art residential elevator
system. Through the development of cutting-edge
technology, The Elevator company has effectively
eliminated the need for an independent equipment room,
thus removing one of the largest elevator related
issues facing design professionals and homeowners -
costly consumption of home square footage.
Traditional elevator systems require a minimum of 35
square feet of space dedicated solely to house
equipment.
Whether new home cost is $150.00 per square foot, or
$1,500.00 per square foot, at a 35 square foot
savings, the homeowner will surely benefit from
considerable cost savings, or gain valuable space in
their home.

drive mechanism to reside behind the car
enclosure assembly even when the elevator is
positioned at the fullest extent of it travel.
