How large is the vacuum pump mechanism package, roughly? I assume it's at the top of the shaft, so I'd like some idea if we'd have to go through the ceiling upstairs to the attic to accommodate that.
You will need at least 6' of clearance in the attic.
Check out conventional elevators and lifts first. They're about a third less expensive than pneumatic models.
