The Aura Series from DEM Elevating Equipment offers a compact, American-made residential elevator that fits into nearly any home, with custom design features. It carries up to 950 lb across as many as six stops, with cab styles built to match the character of the house. When your customers want to stay in the home they love as their needs change, Aura gives you a dependable way to deliver it.

What the Aura Elevator Cab Series Brings to Your Residential Projects

Aura is part of our nonproprietary equipment lineup, so you and your customers keep control of service, parts, and future upgrades. Our custom cab series are built with these core things in mind.

A Compact Footprint That Fits Real Homes

Space is usually the first obstacle on a residential job. Aura needs a minimum pit depth of 10 inches and a minimum overhead of 8′-0″. Clear hoistway sizes start at 4′-6″ x 4′-8″ for the standard in-line layout, with in-line, cross, adjacent, and front-and-rear openings available to suit the floor plan. This is an achievable goal for many existing residential properties.

Proven Hydraulic Equipment Made in Salisbury, MD

Aura runs on a 1:2 roped hydraulic drive with a submersible pump and motor, a two-speed control valve, and a 220-volt single-phase power supply. A microprocessor-based controller with battery backup handles automatic push-button operation at a nominal 40 FPM, with up to 50 ft of floor-to-floor travel. We build this equipment in Salisbury, Maryland, and we manufacture and stock parts and components so you are not left waiting on a repair.

Cab Styles for Every Home

Your customers can choose from three cab lines. 

• The Classic Line offers durable melamine and paint-grade panels. 
• The Contemporary Line adds wood veneer and the raised-trim Colonial cab.
• The Craftsman Line includes Magnolia shiplap, Shaker (our most requested cab), and Heritage, with handcrafted recessed wood veneer panels. 

When no standard style fits, our DEM team designs a fully custom interior.

Cab Fixtures and Gates That Finish the Look

Handrails come in finishes from oil-rubbed bronze to matte black, and gate sills come in five colors. Gate choices include scissor, accordion, perforated accordion, full vision, and vinyl styles. Our residential fixtures install plug-and-play and are backward compatible with existing systems, which helps with modernization work too.

Built-In Safety Features

We manufacture Aura in accordance with the ASME A17.1 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators. Standard equipment includes a Type A instantaneous broken-rope car safety, a pipe rupture valve, a battery-lowering device, an emergency manual-lowering valve, and an emergency telephone in the cab.
