Capsule & Panoramic Elevators
Glass observation lifts for atriums, hotels and showrooms — a moving piece of architecture.
- Toughened laminated safety glass
- Semi-circular, square or full panoramic
- Indoor atrium or exterior facade
- Programmable LED accent lighting
Overview
Why our capsule range
A capsule lift is as much a facade element as a transport device. We build semi-circular, square and fully panoramic cars in toughened laminated glass, with structural glass or open-truss hoistways.
Because the whole assembly is visible, the engineering behind the glass — bracket detailing, cable routing, guide-shoe finish — gets the same attention as the visible surfaces.
Typical applications
- Hotel and mall atriums
- Showrooms and auto dealerships
- Corporate headquarters lobbies
- Luxury residential projects

Features
What is inside the specification
The engineering decisions that make the difference between a lift that works and a lift that keeps working.
Structural glass hoistway
Self-supporting glass or steel-truss shafts designed with the architect so the lift reads as part of the building, not an afterthought.
Concealed services
Travelling cables, guide rails and brackets are routed and finished so the visible engineering looks deliberate.
Weather-rated exteriors
IP-rated fixtures, marine-grade fasteners and sealed door assemblies for facade-mounted installations.
Lighting scenes
Addressable LED handrail and ceiling lighting with programmable scenes for lobbies and hospitality projects.
Questions
Capsule FAQs
Cannot find your question? Call us — we would rather talk it through than have you guess.
Is a glass lift safe in an exterior installation?
Yes, when specified correctly. We use toughened laminated glass, sealed door assemblies and IP-rated components, and we design the shaft for the local wind loading.
