Costs
The costs given below are a basic, rule-of-thumb guide to typical lift installation costs. The cost of individual lift systems vary widely depending on the quality of internal finishes required, the location of the project, the complexity of lift control required and the physical restrictions of the project. Typically for design purposes, one person equals about 75-80 kg of load.
