What is a screw-driven home lift and how does it work?

Cibes is known for screw-driven home lift technology. It’s designed to be safe for residential use and built with features that support users during everyday travel, including emergency situations.

The technical setup is also refreshingly simple. A screw-drive system reduces the need for heavy structural work that’s often required with traditional lift systems. That means a home lift can often be integrated with less disruption, while using space efficiently.

What makes a home lift safe? (Swedish safety approach)

Home lift safety is not one single feature. It’s the result of correct installation, proper checks, and consistent maintenance, so every system keeps working as intended.

A key part of safety is routine inspection and planned service. Regular maintenance is also a compulsory condition of our warranty, because it helps ensure that the lift remains safe and dependable for everyone who uses it.

Is Cibes Lift Thailand factory direct?

Yes. Cibes Lift (Thailand) is a subsidiary of the Cibes Lift Group from Sweden. We distribute and take care of customers directly, not through dealers.

What does that mean for homeowners? Faster communication, clearer responsibility, and better continuity of service, both before and after installation. It’s a more direct relationship, and in this category, that matters.

When was Cibes Lift founded and who started it?

An idea about a lift in 1947 laid the foundation of the Cibes Lift Group. Today, Cibes is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of low speed lifts. A civil engineer named Bertil Svedberg started manufacturing, and development accelerated in the 1970s when Cibes began producing screw-driven lifts. This technology has since become one of Cibes’ most important strengths.

What started as a small company in northern Sweden has grown into an international group with more than 100,000 lifts installed in 70+ countries. Through every stage of growth, our Swedish roots have remained a key part of how we design, build, and support our lifts.

What smart features can you add to a Cibes home lift?

Each Cibes lift is custom made based on the selections agreed before the order is placed. Depending on the model, lifts can include practical features like music, lighting, and access control.

You can also choose finishes and functions to match how the building is used, including color options, decorative patterns, and LED lighting. The goal is not to add complexity, but to create a home lift that fits the space and feels right day to day.
