$250 Home Elevator Escalator

[@goldf3lla]

Don’t know why there’s a thumbs down, but this is awesome! The chair version is like $4,000-$6,000. This is something I can build my mom. Thank you, sir!

[@billblanning2068]

Thanks so much! Glad you are handy.

Great job!!!!! Appreciate the time you took to explain it. Thank you Sir.

Hey Bill, I am a 28 year old amputee and I think I will probably build something similar in the future, thank you for sharing your information!

[@billblanning2068]

Your welcome, thank you

Sir your a genius I took my hat for you thank you really appreciate it they said the genius does was complex makes it simple that you have done that thank you sir

[@billblanning2068]

Thank you, I have a bit of aspergers and try to be as logical as possible

[@southjerseysound7340]

Thanks for sharing,I need to build one for my mom and your ideas really helped

[@billblanning2068]

Good ... Glad it inspired you.

I like this. That trolly is wedge shaped from the side. Take the vertical part, hinge it at the bottom so it snaps into place and holds up the platform. That way you can collapse the trolly, make the whole thing flat, put the entire thing on some heavy duty fence gate hinges with blocks underneath the rails that rest on the stairs when folded down into operating position. When you aren't using it or need the space to move something big, it just folds up along the wall taking up maybe 6" of stair space at most. Seen several of these designs but yours is the closest to being able to fold up along the wall. Just a few modifications I think. And the parts are quite affordable. Thanks!

[@WirelessDevelopment]

Excellent idea and well implemented!

Thank you

It's awesome buddy.....great job you posted it

[@chasein7019]

I was waiting for the scene from Gremlins where they modified the old ladies chair lift and it launched her out the bedroom at the top

[@billblanning2068]

Great idea , piquat 1, I thought I would have to set it aside. Thanks

[@buckw65]

Nice well thought out design.

[@swift3891]

Noisy as hell and if you get dizzy and fall off that shit it's a wrap for your life. But still a great contraption old timer . Blessings Sir. 🙌

Useful info. Obviously American, but perhaps something similar available in the UK. Thank you.

[@strll11]

Wonderful, thanks for sharing

[@billblanning2068]

Your welcome

[@mainemermaid6596]

Very cool. Excellent craftsmanship too. I hope you patented the design. (I think I'd add a regular handrail on the wall, for my balance.)

[@billblanning2068]

Thank you, there is a handrail for safety

[@yeebah4585]

It runs with electric power sir or is it manually-operated?

[@southjerseysound7340]

It uses a electric winch from harbor freight. But you can use a 12vdc winch too but it would require more to make work

[@yuzetan670]

Remember the balloon house movie that old guy sit the escalator

[@billblanning2068]

Sorry, I don't remember.

Price kya hai

[@sunnygunz]

Do you have builders plans

[@billblanning2068]

Sorry, no but the $300 video explains it better than this one

[@wemustbecomemachines2012]

awesome, but it needs to be louder

[@newmankidman5763]

It is dangerous because it has nothing to prevent someone from falling backward, should they lose their balance. You should build a balustrade on the platform for safety

[@billblanning2068]

True, or build a chair, but it is for a quick up and down ... healthy people in a hurry and there is a banister on both sides.

[@newmankidman5763]

​@@billblanning2068, I had not noticed the banister on the side of the escalator, I have now, and yes, that is good for safety. Thanks for pointing it out to me

[@billblanning2068]

@@newmankidman5763 I have a new one coming out soon. It has the same controls as the single stair and $250 escalator elevator but works for my house, which has a landing. It will be a $300 version because it has a bigger motor and single line speed. Better video I hope. I couldn't use the single stair because there is a door at the bottom of the stairs and the extended bottom stair blocks it. Maybe you haven't seen it. Just put in my name and you can see it and the grocery store elevator from a garage door opener.

[@newmankidman5763]

@@billblanning2068, I have now watched all three of your videos, of course including the Single Stair you recommended I watch. I must say that the Single Stair is truly ingenious and inspiring. Bill Blanning, you are a genius, and thank you for recommending the video to me

[@billblanning2068]

@@newmankidman5763 Your welcome and thank you. It is just seeing a need and inventing something to fill it ... that and having the patience to try various things until something works. I finallly found out why I am a compulsive inventer a few years ago when I determined I am on the aspergers spectrum (high functioning autism). There is a lot about it on youtube and I now can enjoy being differant.

You need to buy the parts there and build it yourself

[@yashbirsingh1673]

Noisey

[@kram3d]

It looks like you don't even have hand rails to hang on to I would probably fall off.

[@billblanning2068]

Just like climbing the stairs ... use the hand rail and it's not a problem.
