Yes. It's lifted by a vacuum created by air turbines at the top of the shaft. Here's a video from YouTube. I bought the medium size model; PVE37.

My home elevator is due for its annual inspection next month. A technician is scheduled to be here on March 25th. An inspection certificate will be issued and must be posted in a conspicuous place near or in the elevator cab. It makes the unit look impressive.  Naughty

I'm guessing coffee ring stains and masking tape are out.

I suppose the price of everything is going up, thanks to this Covid-19 business. I just received the renewal contract for the semi-annual maintenance and inspection of my home elevator. It's now $1,100 compared to $800 for last year.  Read

My brother recently came over for a visit and saw my elevator for the first time. He was so impressed with it, he rode it from the cellar up to the attic and all the way down several times as if it was an amusement park ride. He was also quite impressed with the new pantry my carpenter had constructed where the cellar steps used to be.  Great
