Perfection in Glass: HLift / OLift / ULift / MyLift
KOHLER glass elevators redefine the limits of technical capability – in design, detailing, and craftsmanship.
Glass is more than just a material; when working with it, we carefully consider every possible viewing angle from future users – because transparency has little value if what it reveals is not beautiful.
KOHLER’s level of precision and craftsmanship stands unrivaled among elevator manufacturers.
Our standard models – HLift, OLift, and ULift – represent three distinct design philosophies.
As their names suggest, these designs correspond respectively to rectangular (H), circular (O), and U-shaped (U) configurations, each available in various adaptable dimensions.
They are particularly suited for:
- Full-height glass shafts (floor-to-ceiling)
- Open panoramic elevator shafts
- Fully glazed staircase voids, without posts or beams
Invisible support structures, fully integrated into the cabin framework, discreetly conceal the guiding rails and safety components — creating a pure, timeless design language.
We pay close attention to:
- Perfect symmetry across all three axes
- Balance between chosen materials and geometric forms
Each cabin features individually designed and handcrafted doors and panels, ensuring distinctive elegance and refinement in every detail.
Depending on technical requirements and spatial conditions, KOHLER employs:
- Direct-hydraulic central rams, or
- Lateral or central rope-drive systems with 1:1 or 2:1 suspension ratios, to guarantee optimum performance and smooth operation across all premium glass elevator models.
With the MyLift series, customers are given complete creative freedom to design their own personalized elevator — or simply entrust KOHLER to craft the ideal lift that reflects their individual needs, lifestyle, and aesthetic vision.
We are relentlessly committed to discovering the perfect solution, bringing every unique idea to life with precision and artistry.
