Cibes Air
The Cibes Air is a Scandinavian-designed residential platform lift built to be part of your home’s visual identity, not something to tuck away.
Bring Scandinavian Design to Every Floor of Your Home
The Cibes Air is a modern residential platform lift designed to be part of a home’s visual identity rather than an afterthought. Where most lifts are engineered for function and finished as a necessity, the Cibes Air is designed from the rider experience outward: handrail controls, LED ambient lighting, a fully configurable enclosure, and a Scandinavian design philosophy that makes it as considered as any other element in the room.
Access Elevator is an authorized Cibes dealer serving central and upstate New York since 1969. Our team installs the Cibes Air in residential settings across the region and can help you configure the right finish, shaft, and size for your space.
Hold the Rail to Move. Release to Stop.
Every other lift on the market uses a button panel. The Cibes Air uses the handrail. Step on, reach for the rail as you naturally would for support, and you’re moving. Release it to stop. The action of steadying yourself and the action of moving are the same gesture: intuitive, tactile, and unlike anything else in the category. The EcoSilent drive system runs the journey at under 40 dB, quieter than a library, so the experience is as calm as the design.

Choose From 250+ Colors and Preview It in Your Home
The Cibes Air is available in more than 250 RAL colors for the frame, alongside metal, natural textile, and wood finish families. For most homeowners, this is the first time they’ve been told they can specify the exact color of a home elevator to complement their interior. Cibes’s Augmented Reality tool makes that decision easier: point your phone at any room and see a configured Cibes Air placed in your actual space, in any finish, before the process starts.
The Right Home Elevator for Multiple Floors
The Cibes Ascenda is a 2-stop residential platform lift well-suited to simpler home layouts. The Cibes Air covers up to 4 stops and 23 feet of travel, with the enclosed prefabricated shaft included. For homes with three or four floors and homeowners who want every design detail considered, the Air is built for exactly that context. It’s not a compromise between two better options. It’s the right answer for a specific buyer who wants multi-floor access, Scandinavian design quality, and a 2–3 day installation without full shaft construction.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Cibes Air ASME certified?
Yes. The Cibes Air is manufactured in Sweden and ASME certified for the US market. Access Elevator is an authorized Cibes dealer and handles installation, inspection, and long-term service in-house across central and upstate New York. Our technicians are CET and CAT certified, and Access Elevator is a New York State Registered Contractor, so the installation meets all applicable code requirements from start to finish.
Is the Cibes Air a quiet home elevator?
It’s one of the quietest home elevators available. The EcoSilent drive system operates at under 40 dB, which is quieter than a library and well below most residential elevator systems. That figure comes from independent testing, not marketing language. For households where noise is a genuine concern, the EcoSilent system is the Cibes Air’s strongest functional differentiator alongside its design credentials.
Is the Cibes Air a good home elevator for multiple floors?
Yes. The Cibes Air covers up to 4 stops and 23 feet of travel, making it well suited to homes with three or four floors. The enclosed prefabricated shaft ships with the lift, installation typically takes 2–3 days, and the hold-to-run handrail control makes multi-floor travel intuitive for users of all mobility levels.
Is the Cibes Air a minimalist design home elevator?
That’s probably the most accurate description. The handrail control eliminates the button panel entirely. The LED ambient lighting is integrated into the front panel rather than mounted as a separate fixture. The shaft options, including the fully glazed enclosure, keep the visual profile as clean as possible. If you’re looking for a home elevator that looks like it was designed alongside the rest of your interior, the Cibes Air is the product.
