In today’s high-end residences, multi-level apartments. A high-performance home elevator makes daily life more comfortable, safe, and easy, especially for families with elderly members, children, or anyone with mobility challenges.
The Vigo2 Series Home Elevators from L J Elevator are designed to meet these needs. In this article, we will explain the key benefits of the Vigo2 Series in detail, this comprehensive information will help you understand the product thoroughly and make an informed decision.
1. Space utilization upgrade
Maximizing cabin space
One of the biggest challenges in installing a home elevator is the limited shaft space available in many buildings. The Vigo2 Series is built with an exclusive space optimization technology. In simple terms, it allows you to get the largest possible cabin inside a given shaft size. This means you enjoy a more spacious cabin even when your building has limited space.
How we calculate cabin size:
- Cabin Depth = Shaft Depth – 300mm
- Cabin Width = Shaft Width – 460mm
For example, if the shaft measures 1200mm by 1200mm, the calculations are as follows:
| Shaft Size (mm) | Calculated Cabin Size (mm) | Rated Load (kg) |
| 1200 × 1200 | 900 × 740 | 260 |
| 1400 × 1400 | 1100 × 940 | 320 |
| 1600 × 1600 | 1200 × 1040 | 400 |
This precise calculation ensures that even in a small shaft, the cabin is as large and comfortable as possible. Whether it is for a renovation project or new construction, the Vigo2 Series can be tailored to your building’s structure.
Lower overhead and pit requirements
Traditional home elevators often require high overhead and deep pits. Vigo2 Series has been engineered to significantly lower these requirements. This is especially important for older homes or buildings where space is limited.
Overhead calculation formula:
- Overhead = Cabin Clear Height + 600mm
For instance, if the cabin clear height is 2100mm, then the required Overhead is only 2700mm. This is much lower than the 3000mm or more needed by many traditional elevators.
Pit depth calculation:
- Pit Depth = Distance from the bottom of the cabin to the bottom of the pit
Vigo2 Series uses a very shallow pit design, requiring only a 200mm pit depth. This reduces the need for extensive construction work and makes installation possible even in buildings that do not have a deep pit.
Comparison of installation parameters:
| Parameter | Vigo2 Series | Traditional Home Elevator |
| Overhead | ≥ 2700mm | ≥ 3000mm |
| Pit Depth | ≥ 200mm | ≥ 300mm |
| Shaft Adaptability | Can work without a pre-reserved shaft | Requires a dedicated shaft |
This innovative design allows Vigo2 Series to be easily installed in low-ceiling buildings, multi-level homes, and even older properties that lack a pre-reserved shaft. It saves construction costs and makes the elevator fit seamlessly into your home.
2. Full-spectrum safety protection
Safety is the top priority when it comes to home elevators. The Vigo2 Series is equipped with multiple layers of intelligent safety features to protect every ride.
Emergency power and rescue
Imagine the inconvenience and danger if an elevator stops abruptly during a power failure. The Vigo2 Series includes an Automatic Emergency Operation (ARD) system. When the power goes out, the elevator automatically switches to backup power, moves slowly to the nearest floor, and opens its doors so passengers can exit safely.
In addition, the elevator features a “Emergency Open Button” (EOB). In an emergency, users can simply press and hold the EOB. The elevator will then slowly travel to a safe floor, allowing passengers to leave without waiting for external rescue. This breaks the norm of traditional elevators that depend solely on external maintenance teams during emergencies.
Non-door zone protection
In some cases, if an elevator stops outside the door zone, passengers may try to force the door open, leading to dangerous situations. Vigo2 Series is designed with a Non-Door Zone Protection System that automatically locks the car door if a fault occurs outside the door area. This prevents users from attempting to open the door, reducing the risk of injury.
High-density infrared light curtains
Safety at the door is essential. The Vigo2 Series uses high-density infrared light curtains that:
- Accurately detect obstacles: They can sense even small objects like a child’s hand, a pet’s tail, or luggage near the door.
- Extend door open time: If an obstruction is detected, the system delays door closing to prevent accidents.
Intelligent fault analysis
The AX530 Expert Analysis System in the Vigo2 Series continuously monitors the elevator’s performance. It can automatically:
- Differentiate fault types: Classifying faults into safe and unsafe categories.
- Provide early warnings: Alerting service teams before minor issues become serious problems.
- Enhance overall safety: Ensuring that the elevator enters a safe mode immediately when any abnormal condition is detected.
3. Smooth and quiet operation
A smooth and quiet ride is key to making every elevator trip a pleasant experience.
Advanced traction technology
The Vigo2 Series uses a high-precision traction system from L J Elevator that ensures:
- Smooth starts and stops: The elevator accelerates and decelerates gradually, avoiding any sudden jolts.
- Three-Center Alignment: By aligning the hanging center, guiding center, and car center, vibrations are minimized, and the ride becomes almost imperceptible.
Low-noise design
Noise can greatly affect your comfort at home. Vigo2’s low-noise permanent magnet synchronous traction machine keeps the operating noise below 48dB. This is significantly lower than many conventional models, ensuring that the elevator does not disturb your home—especially during nighttime operations. Improved sound insulation both in the machine room and within the car further enhances the quiet environment.
4. Energy efficiency and eco-friendliness
Modern homes value energy efficiency and sustainability. The Vigo2 Series meets these needs by following European VDI4707 A-level energy standards.
Key energy-saving features:
- Efficient Drive System: The permanent magnet synchronous direct-drive system reduces energy loss by up to 40% compared to conventional systems.
- LED Lighting: The elevator uses full LED lighting, which consumes about 60% less energy than traditional fluorescent lighting.
- Smart Standby Mode: When the elevator is not in use, the system automatically enters a low-power standby mode to save energy.
These features reduce operating costs and help create a greener, more sustainable home environment.
5. Customized design
A home elevator should blend seamlessly with your interior design. Vigo2 Series offers various customization options to suit your taste and lifestyle.
