Logan Elevators designs, manufactures and installs water-powered elevators for domestic residences.

These elevators are some of the most efficient and cost-effective in today's markets, run by re-cycling the water from a reservoir via a pump, meaning there is no water loss down a drain.

The elevator is made up of a hydraulic ram coupled to a platform which is the floor of the elevator itself. The platform then moves vertically within a specially constructed lift well.
The platform has an overlay of carpet which the customer chooses to suit their decor.

Operation of the lift is controlled electronically, with the doors electro-magnetically interlocked during use. The doors can be opened in an emergency and the elevator is supplied with an exterior mounted emergency alarm siren which is activated from within the lift. An option is the installation of a telephone inside the elevator.

The elevator is powered by a mains pressure water pump. This unit is capable of lifting 300kg and we can tailor make the weight and speed ratio to a higher level by up-grading the pump unit. The water is pumped out of a small plastic tank to the lift. When the lift comes down the water goes back to the tank. Hence the phrase "re-circulating water system".

The elevators are very easy to operate, being much the same to use as lifts in public buildings.
