Cibes Primo Platform Lift

Add reliable vertical access to your Atlanta-area home, business, library, or school with the Cibes Primo, a vertical platform lift from Cibes Symmetry built for wheelchair access and multi-level homes—no pit, no machine room, and installed in days.

The Cibes Primo Is Built Around Practical Vertical Access

The Cibes Primo is a versatile platform lift designed for homeowners, businesses, commercial spaces, and builders who need clean, reliable vertical access without the structural demands of a full elevator hoistway. It carries 880 lbs, notably more than the standard 750 lbs, at up to 30 FPM, serves up to 4 stops across a maximum travel of 23 feet, and runs on 230 VAC, 60 Hz, 16 AMP single-phase power. The screw drive system is machine room-less, and pit options of 0″, 2″, or 2 3/4″ make it a practical pitless platform option for new construction and retrofits alike. Standard platform sizes of 39 3/8 x 57 3/4″ and 43 5/16 x 57 3/4″ accommodate wheelchairs, walkers, and strollers without a custom build.

American Elevator installs the Cibes Primo across Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina, managing specs, permitting, installation, and state inspection with the same in-house team from start to finish.

Everything your project needs, from platform dimensions and floor cut-out sizes to finish options and technical drawings, is available for download below. Built for homeowners, builders, architects, and designers.

A Space-Saving Screw Drive Elevator Built for Pitted or Floor-Mounted Homes

The Cibes Primo runs on a screw drive system housed entirely within the shaft. There’s no separate machine room, no top machinery, and no excavation required. With pit options starting at zero inches, it’s a legitimate home elevator alternative for Atlanta-area homes, businesses, community spaces, multi-floor buildings where a traditional elevator shaft isn’t practical or where minimizing construction disruption is a priority.

For architects and builders, the structural numbers are straightforward: 90 5/8″ minimum headroom, no machine room footprint, and a prefabricated shaft that arrives in ready-made elements and installs cleanly into both new construction and existing floor plans. A 2-stop Cibes Primo can be operational in 2 to 3 days once the site is ready, making it one of the faster vertical access installations available for residential applications.

Wheelchair Accessible and Built for Aging in Place

The Cibes Primo is an indoor or outdoor lift for residential and commercial use by design, not as an optional upgrade. Both standard platform sizes accommodate wheelchairs, walkers, and strollers, making it a wheelchair accessible home lift that works for the full household without custom modifications. Hold-to-run controls are sized for intuitive everyday use, and accessibility options including concealed automatic door openers, extra-large call buttons, and lap-held IR controls make the Cibes Primo a capable commercial lift that fits the space without announcing itself as a medical accommodation.

Why Georgia Homeowners and Builders Choose American Elevator for Cibes Primo Installation

American Elevator has served Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina since 1997. Every Cibes Primo installation is handled by employed, state-licensed technicians—no subcontractors, no third-party handoffs. The same team that meets you at the start of your project stays accountable for everything that follows.

  • Product Knowledge That Starts at the Spec Stage

    Our in-house technicians are trained on the Cibes Primo’s screw drive system, prefabricated shaft installation, and door configuration options. We handle platform sizing, floor cut-out planning, headroom verification, and accessibility option coordination so the installation integrates cleanly into your space from day one.

  • Familiar With Georgia’s Residential Floor Plans

    Multi-story schools, businesses, libraries, and commercial spaces across the Atlanta area present real planning variables: walk-out basements, split-entry configurations, finished lower levels, and tight floor plans where a traditional shaft simply doesn’t fit. The Cibes Primo was built for exactly those situations, and we’ve been putting it into Georgia homes long enough to know where the complications show up before they become problems on site.

  • Service After Installation

    American Elevator services what it installs. Our in-house, state-licensed technicians provide ongoing maintenance support for every Cibes Primo we put in, backed by a 1-year labor and 3-year parts warranty that outpaces what most competitors offer. Our target is a four-day turnaround on service visits.

  • See It at Our Suwanee Showroom

    Cibes Symmetry systems are on display at our working Suwanee showroom. For business owners comparing the Cibes Primo to other platform lift or elevator options, seeing the equipment in person is the clearest way to confirm fit and finish before committing to a project.
