A Trusted, Space-Saving Residential Elevator for Flexible Home Installation
The Savaria Zenith is one of the highest-performance residential elevators available today, engineered with commercial-grade traction technology, precision counterweight balancing, and whisper-quiet operation. For homeowners in North Carolina and Virginia who want a smooth, refined ride with top-tier engineering, the Zenith offers unmatched comfort, reliability, and customization.
Designed for homes needing up to six stops and as much as 50 feet of travel (60 feet where permitted), the Zenith brings commercial performance into your residential space while maintaining a compact footprint and machine-roomless design.
Key Benefits of the Savaria Zenith
Machine Room-Less Design for Flexible Installation
The Zenith’s advanced counterweight traction system eliminates the need for a separate machine room, saving square footage and simplifying installation. Most mechanical components fit within a small closet or the hoistway itself (depending on code), making this model ideal for both new construction and retrofit projects.
Flexible Entry & Maintenance Options
Whether your home requires same-side entrances, straight-through travel, or 90° entry/exit, the Zenith’s modular configuration makes planning easy. A modern traction system, convenient service access, and industrial-grade components ensure the Zenith performs consistently for years with routine maintenance from our certified technicians.
Traction Technology for an Ultra-Smooth, Quiet Ride
Based on Savaria’s commercial Orion MRL elevator, the Zenith is built on a geared traction, counterweighted design. This system reduces vibration, improves leveling precision, and delivers one of the quietest ride experiences available in a home elevator.
Large Cab Sizes and Higher Weight Capacity
With standard cab sizes up to 40″ x 54″ and optional custom configurations, the Zenith can comfortably accommodate mobility devices, multiple passengers, or spacious luxury cab interiors. Capacity is available up to 1400 lbs, depending on local code.
