Mini electric home lift

Miniwatt

Launched in 2010, MINIWATT is a mini home lift with no cabin walls developed with ARE SMART POWER technology. The platform, in fact, is located inside a shaft that can be built in masonry or a metal structure. MINIWATT is the ideal solution for single-family homes and retail businesses, and in general for landings in top floor rooms with low ceilings, like attics or lofts.

MINIWATT is the ideal solution for all rooms where there is not enough space to install a traditional lift. The option of fitting a gate on the top landing floor instead of a classic door makes this model perfect for environments like attics or lofts.

Features of this Mini electric home lift Miniwatt

0,15 m/s Movement speed
130W Power consumption
Developed with ARE SMART POWER technology and battery-powered, the MINIWATT electric home lift guarantees high levels of energy efficiency. The opportunity of recharging its batteries using the solar energy produced by the photovoltaic panel (SOL-ARE technology) minimizes the amount of energy drawn from the grid, right down to a consumption level of ZERO.
MINIWATT

Energy efficiency, tailor-made design and minimum installation space requirements: MINIWATT is the solution for all situations with limited space.

Maximum Energy efficiency

Its use of just 130W of power is on a par with what is needed for an everyday electrical appliance.

Minimum space requirements

MINIWATT makes maximum use of all the space available. As all its dimensions can be customised, it is the ideal choice for renovations and any other situations with landings in top floor rooms with low ceilings.

No cabin walls

The MINIWATT model with no cabin walls, is an ideal solution for anyone who prefers to avoid the enclosed spaces of traditional lifts. Thanks to its open design, it offers a sensation of freedom and comfort.

Minimal aesthetic impact

Thanks to its small and customisable dimensions, the MINIWATT home lift is the ideal solution for anyone seeking minimal aesthetic impact on the surrounding environment.

Tailor-made design

Every Miniwatt model is unique.

Our experience allows us to meet the needs of any customer as our solutions offer not only customised dimensions but a customised design too. We can recommend the most suitable materials and colours to ensure every lift is in perfect harmony with the environment around it.

Discover ARE SMART-POWER technology

ARE SMART-POWER is the name given to the innovative, patented technology with numerous energy efficiency benefits we use to power our lifts.

  • Recharging from SOL-ARE photovoltaic panels Renewable energy Zero consumption

    SOL-ARE is ARE’s new patented technological innovation that is designed to optimise lift battery recharging using solar energy produced by photovoltaic panels.

  • Energy recovery The more you use it, the more energy you store

    The energy produced during the normal use of our lifts is not wasted as heat, but stored in batteries for use in subsequent runs. This reduces national power grid consumption costs.

  • Anti-blackout system Always working, always safe.

    Batteries are the main power supply system used on our lifts. This allows our lift to continue to operate even in the event of a sudden power failure, so accessibility and safety are guaranteed at all times. * With charged batteries and under optimal usage conditions, up to 60 runs can be made with the Mangusta and Miniwatt lifts and up to 40 runs with the ZEN-0 lift.

  • Low energy consumption, maximum power Like a household appliance

    Thanks to ARE SMART POWER technology, the maximum power used by our lifts is comparable to, if not lower than, many household appliances. For example, the power used by the MANGUSTA and MINIWATT home lifts is only 130W, less than that of an electric or microwave oven. The comparison also applies to the unique ZEN-0 electric lift, which uses only 300W.*

    *In Switch manoeuvring, 1200W of power are used and with rapid recharging 1500W – reference values measured on a system with a load-bearing capacity of 450KG and a speed of 0.15 m/s)

Display Smart

Our Display Smart allows you to monitor in real-time all the information about the energy generated by the electric lift during use and the level of battery charge. Additional functions include warnings regarding overloads in the cabin, low battery charge and no mains voltage.

Brochure

The batteries are monitored by a system that checks their status and stops the lift when the batteries are not sufficiently charged. If this happens during a run, the system ends the run and remains stopped at that floor while it recharges. As soon as the batteries are sufficiently charged, the system starts working normally again. We can assure the customer that this type of situation occurs only very rarely because the batteries are sized according to a number of insertions per hour that the lift is unlikely to ever perform.

Normally, the electronics for reading the load sensor are positioned on the cabin roof, so that is where the calibration procedure has to be conducted. This means the technician has to take care not to include their own weight in the measurements. It also means that for any information about the weight in the cabin you always have to climb onto the roof. In our system, on the other hand, the load sensor reading electronics are still positioned on the cabin roof, but they are connected to the control panel. So, all operations (calibrations, cabin weight readings, fault diagnoses etc.) are carried out from our Smart-Chopper board, i.e. the control panel.

With the batteries charged and under optimal usage conditions, up to 60 runs can be made. This ensures efficient service even during a blackout.

The main power supply for our ARE systems is based on the use of lead-acid batteries, which are widely used in the automotive world. They guarantee a long service life, low costs and excellent performance. Like all batteries, they have a lifecycle, which is long and can be replaced for a limited cost.

Our SOL-ARE technology optimises battery charging using the solar energy produced by a photovoltaic panel. The system automatically selects the ideal energy source (grid or photovoltaic panel) in order to minimize the amount of energy drawn from the grid, right down to a consumption level of ZERO.
