Cibes Outdoor Home Lift Series: Weatherproof, Space-Saving Access for Tropical Homes

The Cibes Outdoor Home Lift Series delivers a weatherproof, space-saving outdoor home lift solution, purpose-built for tropical climates and modern architecture.

Designed for Southeast Asia’s humid, coastal, and high-rainfall environments, each lift features:
• Anti-corrosive components
• IP-rated controls
• Prefabricated shaft, no pit or machine room required

From narrow Bangkok townhouses to beachside villas in Bali, Cibes outdoor lifts integrate seamlessly into both new builds and retrofits.

They provide architects, developers, and homeowners with reliable vertical mobility that combines Scandinavian design, advanced safety, and long-term durability.

Weather Resistant by Design: Built for Tropical Realities

Unlike traditional elevators, Cibes outdoor lifts are engineered to perform year-round—handling humidity, rainfall, temperature fluctuations, and salt-laden coastal air.

Key Weather Protection Features:

• Anti-corrosive bottom frame & platform coating
• Flood-protected electrical compartment
• IP55-rated call buttons with sealed aluminum faceplates
• Weather-resistant shaft glass panels with rubber sealing
• Aluminum swing doors
• Canopies in steel to shield doors
• Slanted outdoor roof engineered for rain and snow loads (up to 3kN/m²)

Temperature Operating Range: −10°C to +30°C (with additional thermal options for colder or hotter zones)

This makes it a perfect outdoor lift for countries like Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and even colder highland areas like Chiang Mai or Baguio.

Frequently Asked Questions On Outdoor Lifts

Q: What makes Cibes the ideal choice for an outdoor home lift in Southeast Asia?

A: Cibes lifts are engineered for durability in tropical climates. Our weather-resistant design, featuring a sealed, prefabricated shaft and anti-corrosive components, ensures reliable performance. The machine-room-less, screw-driven system is not only space-efficient but also allows for a swift installation in just a few days, minimizing disruption to your home.

Q: Can a Cibes lift be installed in demanding environments like beachfront properties or areas with high rainfall?

A: Absolutely. Our lifts are designed for such conditions. The shaft is fully sealed to prevent water ingress, all critical components are treated to be anti-corrosive, and the controls are IP-rated for weather protection. For added peace of mind, we also offer optional canopies.

Q: Does the installation require a deep pit or a separate machine room?

A: No, and that’s a key advantage of our design. A Cibes lift can be installed with a minimal pit of just 50-70 mm, or even with no pit at all through the use of a small, convenient ramp. This makes installation possible in a wider range of properties.

Q: How does a Cibes lift differ from a conventional elevator?

A: Cibes lifts are a modern alternative to traditional elevators. Our machine-room-less and screw-driven mechanism eliminates the need for a bulky hydraulic system, making it perfect for retrofitting into existing homes with limited space. The modular design allows for a faster, more efficient installation process.

Q: What kind of support and service can I expect in Southeast Asia?

A: We have a strong and dedicated presence across the region. Cibes has direct subsidiaries and certified partners in Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia, ensuring you have access to expert sales, installation, and maintenance support

Q: How much space is needed to install a Cibes outdoor lift?

A: One of the key benefits of a Cibes lift is its compact footprint. Our space-saving design dedicates up to 73% of its area to the passenger platform. Even if you have as little as one square meter of available space, we likely have a solution that will fit your home.

Q: Are Cibes lifts wheelchair accessible?

A: Yes, accessibility is a core part of our design philosophy. Many of our models are spacious enough to comfortably accommodate a wheelchair. We can provide detailed dimensions and specifications to ensure the lift meets your specific accessibility needs.

Q: What customization options are available for the outdoor lift series?

A: We understand that aesthetics are important. You can customize your Cibes lift to match your home’s exterior with a wide range of colors, materials, and finishes. From panoramic glass panels to custom lighting, we can help you create a lift that is both functional and beautiful.

Q: What are the safety features of a Cibes outdoor lift?

A: Safety is our top priority. Cibes lifts are compliant with stringent European safety standards and include features such as an emergency stop button, a battery backup for safe lowering during a power outage, and an alarm system.

Q: How energy-efficient is a Cibes lift?

A: Our EcoSilent screw-driven system is designed for energy efficiency, consuming less power than a traditional hydraulic elevator. This not only reduces your environmental impact but also contributes to lower operating costs over the life of the lift.
