S-SERIES: residential ELEVATORS
With class-leading speed, style, and safety, our S-Series lifts have flexible sizing and car configurations to suit any home. Factor in our Designer Decors and industry-leading Design Service, and it’s not surprising that this is the home elevator on everybody’s wishlist.
Our S-Series Elevator delivers everything from our A-Series Elevator, plus a raft of extra features that elevate it to a whole new level. If you’ll excuse the pun…
This includes a wider choice of car configurations for ease of integration into any design, as well as more flexibility in car shape and sizing. Lift speed jumps to an unmatched 9 seconds floor-to-floor*, load capacity increases to 350kg, and the increased available travel distance allows for up to 5 stops.
Your design experience now includes a choice of our Designer Decors, each featuring professionally coordinated wall colour, trims and handrails, and our Design Team gets a little more hands-on as befits a slightly more involved specification process.
You’ll also enjoy the reassurance of an electronic safety curtain or pressure sensitive edge protection for the highest possible levels of safety.

STYLing
DESIGNER DECORs for the ultimate style
Sadly, many home elevators look like what they are - an afterthought. Moving through a beautifully styled and colour-coordinated home, you may have the jarring experience of stepping into a bland box that looks like something from another era (and we don’t mean that in a good way). When so much love is lavished on the rest of the home, we’re often astonished at how many people settle for mediocrity when it comes to their elevator. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be that way, nor does a well-considered design have to cost an arm and a leg.
COLOURS, TRIMS AND ACCESSORIES
We’ve worked with a team of experts to create our S-Series range - providing a choice of decors that will suit any home. Each decor combines cleverly matched wall panels, ceilings, trims, and handrails, creating an overall effect that will add effortless flair. We recommend matching your floor to that of your home so we leave this up to you.
Your tastes might run to an airy White Wood, the warmth of Sovereign Oak, or perhaps the industrial chic of Titatium? Whatever your preference, there’s a decor to make sure you enjoy stepping into your elevator, every single day.
CONFIGURATIONS
The S-Series is available in five different car configurations allowing for entry/exit on different sides for each floor. Configurations include: Full Car, Corner Car, Enclosed Platform, Through Car, and Open Car.
Click on each of the Designer Decors below to view it in the five available car configurations, including colour, trim and handrail specifications for each one. You can also order melamine samples directly from our NZ-based suppliers to try in your home. If you’d prefer total design freedom, consider our bespoke E-Series Elevator.

SUPPORT
industry-leading design & build service
Powerglide offers an integrated DESIGN-BUILD-INSTALL service that means you can relax and know we have you covered, every step of the way. This includes working with your architect with best-practice advice to streamline the design and consent process and avoid some of the common design traps.
DESIGN - we supply all compliance documentation including project-specific CAD drawings and instructional videos, to a level accepted by all NZ Building Authorities.
BUILD - your elevator is built to spec in our Tauranga factory. We undertake an on-site measure prior to starting the build to minimise any risk of discrepancies. We’ll also liaise directly with your builder and architect to resolve any queries that may arise during the process.
INSTALLATION - is managed by our experienced in-house team, with an install time of around 1 week.
“They provided the concept and the design early on. Their documentation was so good that the architect, McKinney + Windeatt, was able to incorporate the lift into their plans, and the design document was sufficient for all the different trades to work off.”
Ross Newman, owner of Barochan |
“Powerglide’s pre-installation specifications were easy to follow. It was a highly technical design, and the methodology had to be well thought out, explained, and clear to follow. Powerglide met that brief. ”
Bill Hamilton, W Hamilton Building |
