A glass lift is the one piece of building services that people notice and remember. Hub Elevator designs and installs panoramic, capsule and glass-shaft lifts across Pakistan for:
A glass lift costs more than a standard lift of the same capacity, because the shaft, car and structure are all part of the finish. The main cost drivers are:

The right style depends on where the lift sits, how it will be viewed and how much of the structure you want on show.
A rounded or semi-circular glass car, usually running on an external wall or in an atrium. Capsule lifts are the classic choice for malls and hotels, where the lift is meant to be seen from every level.
A flat-fronted car with one or more glazed walls, facing a view or an atrium. It suits offices, showrooms and homes where the lift sits against a wall or in a glazed shaft.
A standard or panoramic car running in a fully glazed shaft within the building. It keeps interiors open and light, and works well in stairwells, lobbies and double-height spaces.
Where the building cannot carry a lift, or the walls cannot be cut, we build a self-supporting steel structure on its own foundation and glaze it. This is how we delivered a freestanding glass elevator for Aspin Pharma inside a pre-engineered building, with zero load transferred to the existing frame, in four months. The project was featured in Elevator World.
A capsule lift is a glass elevator with a rounded or semi-circular car, usually running on an external wall or in an atrium so it can be seen from every level. It is popular in malls, hotels and prestige commercial buildings in Pakistan.
Yes, when built with laminated or toughened safety glass and the same safety systems as any passenger lift: door interlocks, overspeed protection, safety gear and an automatic rescue device for power failures. The glass is a structural and safety component, not just a finish.
More than a standard lift of the same capacity, because the shaft, car and structure are part of the finish. The cost depends on shaft type, glass specification, car design, number of floors and civil work. Hub Elevator provides an itemised quote after a free site survey.
Yes. It can run in a glazed shaft inside the building, on an external wall, or on a freestanding steel structure where the building cannot carry the load. Hub Elevator delivered a freestanding glass elevator inside a pre-engineered building for Aspin Pharma.
External glass lifts can gain heat in direct sun. We manage this with glass specification, tinting or solar-control glass, car ventilation and, where needed, car air-conditioning. Internal atrium and glass-shaft lifts are usually unaffected.
Send us a photo or drawing of the space and tell us where you picture the lift. Our engineers will suggest the right glass lift style and structure and arrange a free site survey.
