Cibes Air Home Elevator
Bring Scandinavian design and intuitive handrail-integrated controls into your home with the Cibes Air, a modern residential platform lift installed by Area Access across Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland, and Delaware.
A Residential Platform Lift Designed to Be Seen
The Cibes Air is not a lift you hide in a closet or tuck behind a wall. It is a minimalist design home elevator manufactured in Sweden by Cibes Lift Group, combining a prefabricated steel or optional glazed shaft with panoramic tempered glass doors and an LED ambient lighting panel that wraps the front of the cab. The handrail doubles as the control system: grab it to travel, release it to stop. Over 250 RAL color options for the frame, plus metal, natural textile, and wood finishes, let you match the lift to your interior rather than the other way around. The Cibes Air supports a rated load of 660 to 880 lbs, serves up to four stops across 23 feet of travel, and requires no pit, no machine room, and as little as zero inches of pit depth.

Built for Multi-Story Homes Where Design Matters
The Cibes Air fits homes where a standard platform lift would feel like a concession and a full elevator build would be overkill. As a home elevator for multiple floors, its self-supporting structure and modular shaft install in two to three days with minimal construction, making it practical for both new builds and existing homes with three or four levels. For the design-conscious homeowner, the AR visualization tool lets you preview the lift in your actual room from your phone before you commit. For the architect or designer speccing a residential project, the 250+ RAL color range and finish library give you specification-grade control over how the lift integrates with the space.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Cibes Air different from a traditional home elevator?
The Cibes Air is a platform lift, not a traditional cable or hydraulic elevator. It uses a screw-driven EcoSilent system that requires no machine room, no shaft construction, and no hydraulic oil. The handrail-integrated controls replace the standard button panel entirely.
How quiet is the Cibes Air during operation?
The EcoSilent drive system operates at approximately 40 dB, which is comparable to a quiet library. There is no hydraulic pump and no motor vibration transmitted through floors, making the Cibes Air a genuinely quiet home elevator that is practical to run at any hour without disrupting the household.
Can the Cibes Air be installed in an existing home?
Yes. The modular, self-supporting shaft and flexible pit depth options (0″, 2″, or 2 3/4″) make the Cibes Air one of the least disruptive residential lifts to retrofit. Area Access evaluates floor openings, ceiling height, and structural conditions to confirm feasibility before any work begins.
How long does installation take?
A two-stop Cibes Air can be installed and operational in two to three days once the site is prepared. Installations in existing homes follow any necessary structural and electrical preparation.
What is the weight capacity and how many floors can it serve?
The Cibes Air has a rated load of 660 to 880 lbs (3 to 5 passengers) and serves up to four stops across a maximum travel distance of 23 feet.
Is the Cibes Air wheelchair accessible?
Yes. The platform is wheelchair accessible as standard, and the panoramic glass doors provide a full-width opening. Seventeen platform sizes are available to accommodate different wheelchair and mobility device dimensions.
