A 2-storey home lift can span a very wide price range, from just under 200,000 baht to more than 1,300,000 baht, depending on many factors such as the lift system lift size, safety systems, lift technology, after-sales service and much more. Broadly speaking, we can group them into 3 price tiers:
- Budget-friendly 2-storey home lifts: starting from just under 200,000 baht – 600,000 baht
- Mid-range 2-storey home lifts : starting from around 600,000 – 1,200,000 baht
- Premium 2-storey home lifts for luxury homes and buildings (High-End/Luxury) : starting from around 1,300,000 baht upwards. These lifts usually come with advanced technology, high-quality materials, standout design, or even the ability of the lift company to customise the lift to suit your home, Penthouse or building
Today, home lifts play a major role in everyday living in Thai homes. Houses are increasingly built with 2 storeys or more, largely because land prices keep climbing. Choosing the right home lift is therefore something well worth taking seriously, as it affects how you live in your home for many years to come.
A home lift is a significant investment, and one that pays back in everyday convenience for the whole family. It also adds value to the property — seen through the lens of that added value, the price of a lift starts to look modest. On top of that, it offers a safe and convenient way for everyone in the family to reach every floor of the house with ease.

Before we get to the price of a home lift — whether for a 2-storey house or a home of 3 storeys and above — there are many factors that influence the cost, and that is before counting the various expenses that come up while preparing the site for installation.
Key Factors Behind Home Lift Prices
The question everyone about to install a home lift asks is how much a home lift costs . In Thailand, home lifts range from a few hundred thousand baht all the way into the millions, depending on the 9 factors below as well as the brief you give the lift company when they work out how much a home lift will cost.
- The drive system affects the price of the home lift
- The height of the house or building, the number of stops, and the lift doors
- The size of the lift and its load capacity
- The safety of the home lift
- The home lift shaft
- Site preparation costs, such as the lift pit and machine room
- The technology in the home lift
- The design of the lift
- The reliability and after-sales service of the lift company
Calculating the Price of a 2-Storey Home Lift

1. Types of Cibes home lifts
Cibes 2-storey home lifts come in 2 types: home lifts with a shaft, and home lifts without a shaft. These are the overall prices for the Cibes brand.
1.1. Home lifts with a shaft
Model Cibes V90 a cabin lift with a touch screen control panel
For a 2-storey house, you can install a home lift that comes complete with its own shaft — ideal for homes that have never had a lift before and are now considering one. Cibes home lifts with a shaft come in many models at many price points, and what sets Cibes apart is the choice of cabin footprints, with up to 41 sizes available. Here are some examples of Cibes home lifts with a shaft:
- Model Cibes Classic a platform lift with a button control panel
- Model Cibes V80i a platform lift with a touch screen control panel
- Model Cibes V90 a cabin lift with a touch screen control panel
A 2-storey home lift with a shaft starts at 1.3 million baht (including installation, 5 years of after-sales maintenance and a 15-year screw/nut warranty)
1.2. Home lifts without a shaft

This option suits 2-storey homes that already have a lift shaft, or that have had a lift before and now want to install a home lift reusing the existing shaft. Here is an example of a Cibes home lift supplied without a shaft:
- Model Cibes V70 a cabin lift with a touch screen control panel
A 2-storey lift without a shaft starts at 1.2 million baht (including installation, 5 years of after-sales maintenance and a 15-year screw/nut warranty)
2. Cabin size of a 2-storey home lift
A 2-storey home lift should be chosen primarily around how it will be used, and the size of the cabin has a very significant impact on the price. Cibes lifts come in a wide range of sizes to match what each customer needs, and we usually recommend a size based on the intended use. For people with disabilities or wheelchair users, for example, we recommend a cabin 700-900 mm wide and 1,100-1,200 mm deep or larger. For bedridden patients, we recommend a special size — the large Cibes Extra model which is very well suited to moving a bed in and out.
3. Cibes Lift, an imported lift brand

Cibes Lift is a lift company with its own manufacturing facilities. In Thailand, Cibes Lift imports exclusively from China and Sweden. The Cibes Lift factories maintain strict production standards through rigorous training programmes run by our headquarters in Sweden, which is how Cibes Lift Thailand can deliver products of a high standard at a reasonable price.

4. After-sales service and annual maintenance costs
This is another point that deserves serious attention, because maintenance and after-sales service really matter. Do your homework thoroughly and look for a lift company that takes after-sales service seriously, so your home lift stays worth every baht. Other home lift systems, such as hydraulic lifts , or traction (cable) lifts, normally require monthly servicing to stay safe to use, and often come with no dedicated team or after-sales service if something unexpected happens to your home lift. With the Cibes Lift screw-drive system, servicing is needed only once a year.
At Cibes Lift, after-sales service is something we take to heart, which is why we have a dedicated after-sales team on call 24 hours a day. Customers can reach us at any time and keep their lift running without interruption.
