Luma Home Lift
The Savaria Luma is a two-stop through-floor home lift that travels between floors through a cut-out in the property. It does not require a lift shaft or supporting wall and is typically used where a compact alternative to a traditional home lift is needed.
It is supplied and installed as a residential access solution for properties requiring step-free movement between two levels.
How it Works
The Luma moves between two floors via a floor opening. The cabin is operated using constant-pressure buttons, meaning the lift only moves while a button is held.
The system uses a winding drum drive and travels on a self-supporting rail structure, so no load-bearing wall is required for installation.
Space Requirements
The system requires a floor opening of approximately:
- 38" x 47" (956 mm x 1186 mm)
Because it is self-supporting, the lift can be positioned in different areas of a room depending on layout, subject to structural suitability and ceiling height.
Installation
Installation requires a floor cut-out between levels and basic structural preparation to support the lift system.
A site survey is required before installation to confirm suitability, positioning, and any reinforcement needed.
Once preparation work is complete, installation is typically completed in 1–2 days.
Cabin Design
The Luma cabin is fully enclosed with clear acrylic panels and includes:
- Integrated LED lighting
- Non-slip floor surface
- Handrail inside cabin
- Ventilation fan
- Low threshold entry
The design allows visibility through the lift while maintaining a fully enclosed travel space.
Safety Features
The system includes built-in safety systems:
- Door interlocks preventing movement unless the door is closed
- Obstruction sensors that stop the lift if blocked
- Emergency stop button inside cabin
- Overspeed protection system
- Battery backup for limited operation during power failure
- Emergency communication system (where specified)
Operation
The lift is controlled using constant-pressure buttons inside the cabin. It stops automatically at each landing and requires manual button input throughout travel.
Remote call/send controls may also be included depending on specification.
Capacity & Performance

Suitability
The Luma is typically used in homes where:
- access is required between two floors only
- a lift shaft cannot be installed
- space is limited
- a compact enclosed lift is preferred over an open platform system
A site survey is required to confirm suitability.
