In India, home elevators are generally designed for light to medium residential use, not heavy commercial loads. Most standard home elevators have a maximum capacity between 250 kg and 450 kg, which comfortably supports 2 to 4 people.
For larger homes, villas, or where wheelchair access is needed, customized residential elevators can be built with a higher capacity of around 500 kg. Going beyond this usually shifts the design from a “home elevator” to a commercial-grade lift, which requires more space, stronger structure, and additional approvals.
If you need higher capacity (for instance for wheelchair users + caregiver + cargo), you can request customized residential lifts from manufacturers- sometimes up to around 500–550 kg or more depending on shaft space and structural planning.
