Counterweightless lift
The cabin is driven directly without a counterweight frame, so a larger cabin fits in the same shaft. The answer for townhouses with narrow shafts.

ASAHI counterweightless lifts
On a conventional lift, the counterweight frame takes up part of the shaft width or depth. A counterweightless lift removes it, so the cabin area increases significantly in the same shaft.
This line suits tube houses, townhouses with a small existing shaft or buildings with limited top-floor headroom.
- Larger cabin area in the same shaft size
- Suits narrow shafts and existing townhouse shafts
- No moving counterweight in the shaft, less vibration
- Shallow pit, from just 200 mm
- Gearless machine, quiet operation
- Automatic rescue in a power cut

How large a cabin will your shaft take?
Enter the clear shaft dimensions for a quick cabin size estimate using the factory formula.
Formula: cabin size = clear shaft size minus allowances for the lift line and door type (factory catalogue). The result is for reference; an ASAHI engineer will measure and confirm on site.
