A home lift not to be confused with a home elevator is a type of lift specifically designed for private homes, where the design takes into consideration the following four factors:

1. Compact design in view of the limitations of space in a private residence,

2. Usage of the lift restricted primarily to the residents of the private homes,

3. Special facilities to meet the needs of elderly or disabled persons, including wheelchair users, and

4. Quiet, smooth, jerk-free movement of the lift and Controls to have ease of operation.

A home lift may be linked to specific country codes or directives. For example, the European standard of Machine Directive 2006 42 EC requires compliance with 194 parameters of safety for a lift to be installed inside a private property.^[1]
