Move Between Floors Safely, Quietly and in Style.
Swee Hin supplies and installs home lifts for landed houses across Singapore: traction home lifts built to SS 550, KALEA lifts with their own integrated shaft, and enclosed vertical platform lifts for homes with limited headroom.
As landed homes adapt to ageing parents, young children and multi-generational living, a lift has become a practical part of the house rather than a luxury. It lets every member of the family reach every floor safely, and keeps your home comfortable to live in for many years.
Every house is different. After a site assessment we recommend the lift that best fits your space, structure and lifestyle.
Machine-room-less traction lifts travelling at 1 metre per second, with counterweight balancing and a gearless drive for a smooth, quiet and energy-efficient ride. Fully compliant with SS 550: 2020 and BCA Lift Model Type Testing (LMTT).
Best for: new builds and homes with room for a full lift shaft and pit.

Swedish-made lifts with clean Scandinavian design. Many KALEA models come with their own self-supporting lift shaft and need no machine room, so there is no concrete or masonry shaft to build.
Best for: renovations and existing landed houses.
About KALEA lifts →
Built to the BCA Code of Practice introduced in June 2024: a fully enclosed cabin with automatic sliding doors and press-and-go operation, with less headroom and a shallower pit than a conventional lift.
Best for: houses with limited headroom, shaft space or pit depth.
About enclosed VPLs →A home lift in Singapore must follow a recognised standard accepted by the Building and Construction Authority (BCA). Here is how the three options compare.
| Standard | Type of lift | Pit & headroom | Doors & operation | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SS 550 | Conventional (traction) passenger lift | Deeper pit and larger headroom | Automatic doors, press and go | New homes with space for a full shaft |
| EN 81-41 | Vertical platform lift | Low pit and headroom | Often hold-to-run, hinged doors, not always fully enclosed | Accessibility in tight spaces |
| BCA COP (2024) | Enclosed vertical platform lift | Reduced pit depth and overhead clearance | Automatic sliding doors, press and go | Existing landed homes and renovations |
