A quiet ride
Silent braking control and soft starts and stops keep the ride smooth and the machine quiet, so residents living beside the shaft are not disturbed.
SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR BUILDING TYPE
Residential apartments
Quiet, reliable elevators for apartment buildings, from new developments to existing strata buildings. Smooth for residents, easy to live with, and looked after by one team for the life of your building.
WHY IT MATTERS
Elevators residents can count on
In an apartment building, the elevator is part of everyday life. Residents rely on it for the school run, the shopping and moving day, so it needs to work every day and run quietly beside the apartments around it. VTS designs, installs and services elevators with cars sized for furniture, prams, wheelchairs and stretchers, finishes that match your lobby, and a team that works with your strata committee or owners corporation from the first conversation to handover and beyond.

LUXURY APARTMENTS
Made for premium residences
In a premium building, the elevator is part of the first impression. We design bespoke cabins with you, from wall panels, ceilings and lighting to floors and door finishes, so the elevator matches the interior of the building, and we deliver the performance taller residential towers need.
- Bespoke cabins designed with you: walls, ceilings, lighting, floors and doors
- A quiet, smooth ride: gearless machine, silent braking and ±5 mm floor levelling
- Up to 3.0 m/s for taller residential towers, without a machine room
3.0m/sSpeed
1,600kgRated load, up to
MRLMachine room less
The 3000 reaches 3.0 m/s with loads of up to 1,600 kg in a machine-room-less layout, a combination not every elevator manufacturer can offer. With no machine room to build, more of the building is left for living space.
FEATURES
Built for apartment living
Gearless and oil-free
A permanent magnet synchronous machine needs no lubricating oil and has an independent braking system, for quieter running, cleaner machine spaces and less maintenance.
Lower energy use
A regenerative drive returns braking energy to the building's supply, and standby power is under 50 W, helping to keep common-area running costs down.
Safety as standard
Protection against unintended car movement (UCMP) is fitted as standard, so residents, visitors and children can travel with confidence.
Fits new and existing buildings
A compact layout with the counterweight at the side or rear, and machine room or machine room less options, suits new developments and upgrades to older apartment blocks.
Cars and finishes chosen with you
We size the car and doors for furniture, prams and stretchers, and choose finishes with you to suit your lobby and the character of the building.

HOW WE WORK
One team for the life of your elevator
Consult and design
We work with developers, architects, builders and strata committees on elevator numbers, sizes, speeds and finishes.
Supply and install
Our team installs, tests and commissions every elevator, and plans the work around residents who may already be living in the building.
Service and maintain
Planned maintenance, repairs and clear reporting after every visit, so your strata manager always knows where things stand.
Modernise
When existing elevators age, we upgrade key parts or replace the whole elevator, staging the work to keep at least one elevator running where possible.
Common questions
Can VTS work with our strata or owners corporation?
Yes. We work with strata committees, owners corporations and building managers. We inspect your elevators, explain the options in plain terms and provide a clear proposal for the committee to consider.
How quiet are the elevators?
Our elevators are designed for quiet running. The gearless permanent magnet machine, silent braking control and soft starts and stops keep running noise low, which matters when apartments sit beside the shaft.
Can you modernise the elevators in our older apartment building?
Yes. We can modernise key parts such as the machine, controller and doors, or replace the whole elevator. We stage the work so that, where possible, at least one elevator keeps running for residents.
Do your elevators meet Australian Standards?
Yes. VTS elevators are designed and installed to comply with AS 1735 and the National Construction Code (NCC 2022).
Do you also install elevators in private homes?
Yes. Our H Series is a compact home elevator for houses, townhouses and villas, for new builds and existing homes. See home elevators
