Residential — SwiftLifts
A premium lift for homes, without the compromises.
Our residential line runs on SwiftLifts — home lifts built around an EcoDrive battery pack that actually charges itself as the car moves downward, so power stays low and the lift keeps working through a mains outage. Choose SWIFT Pro (10" touch display, 6 sizes, 5 colors) for a fuller-featured install, or SWIFT Lite for a compact, classic-button option — both up to 6 stories, both warrantied.

Low maintenance — around $100 every 6 months

Beyond passenger lifts
Whatever's moving through your site, we can lift it.
Smartrise also sources and installs cargo lifts, car lifts, and construction hoists — for the parts of a project that passenger elevators were never built for.

How you work with us
Buy it, rent it, or let us source it for you.
Every building is different, so we don't force one path. Smartrise works three ways — pick whichever fits your project, budget, and timeline.
Sourcing
Tell us the building — height, use, budget — and we'll match you to the right manufacturer and spec from our partner network, not just the products we happen to stock.
Sale
Straight purchase of a commercial or residential lift system, fully installed, CRB-certified, and warrantied — for owners who want to hold the asset outright.
Renting
Lease a lift for a fixed term — useful for developers, temporary sites, or anyone who'd rather spread the cost than buy upfront. Maintenance stays our problem, not yours.
Smart Automation — PIERRE
System live
Your lift, talking to the rest of your building.
PIERRE is a Serbia-based smart building automation company — "smart buildings made simple" is their pitch, and it plays out as one app covering lighting, climate, access, and security, plus your lift call. Everything runs on-device rather than in the cloud, so it stays fast and private even when the internet doesn't.
Smart lift call from a single building app
Lighting, access, climate & security on the same system
Edge processing — runs locally, no cloud dependency
Optional add-on for both commercial and residential lifts
Automation Partner
Smart building and home automation company based in Subotica, Serbia — controllers, sensors, displays and app, running as one ecosystem across homes, hotels and offices.

Our Innovation — Smartrise IoT Gateway
Get an IoT Gateway Quote
One gateway. Every elevator, connected.
The Smartrise IoT Gateway is our own connectivity layer for elevators — built and supported by us, not resold from a third party. It retrofits to lifts you already have, whatever the brand: tell us the type and model, and we match the controller to it. One controller per elevator handles call control and intercom, and reports over 4G or your building's LAN, so it keeps working even if one connection drops.
Retrofits to conventional and modern lifts — any brand
Elevator call control plus intercom, from one controller
Managed from a mobile app, a web app, or your control-room BMS
4G and LAN connectivity — one controller per elevator
Escalators supported too

How many floors can a Smartrise lift serve?
Commercial KOYO elevators serve buildings up to 64 storeys; SwiftLifts home lifts serve up to 6 storeys.
Does a home lift work in a power cut?
Yes. The EcoDrive battery recharges on the way down and keeps the lift running through a mains outage.
What does maintenance cost?
A SwiftLifts home lift is serviced roughly every six months for about $100. Commercial lifts run on an annual maintenance contract (AMC).
Is the survey free?
Yes — the site survey is free and carries no obligation. We reply within one business day.
