Lift prices: how much a lift costs and what makes up the price

But we do have contracts you can check: the table below lists 13 of our contracts for lifts and platform lifts from the open Prozorro register. This is a selection: the register has both smaller and larger contracts. The amount of each is shown on the procurement page that its number links to; it covers the full scope of work under the contract, so the price of the lift alone cannot be separated out.

Our lift contracts in the Prozorro register

Only contracts where we, EDRPOU 33860532, are the contractor are listed here. Each number links to the procurement page, which shows the contracting authority, the subject, the date and the amount. Checked against the register on 02.11.2026.

How to read these contracts. The amount on the procurement page is the cost of all the work under the contract: the building work, electrical work, openings, testing and, in some cases, a shaft built from scratch. There is no separate line for the price of the lift. It is not worth applying someone else's amount to your own building, because you could be several times too high or too low.

All our contracts can be found by searching the Prozorro register for EDRPOU code 33860532. Agreements with building owners, hotels or shopping centres are not there, because they are concluded outside public procurement. For such buildings, only a site survey gives a reference point.

What makes up the cost

Equipment is only one of the eight items here. The rest is dictated by the building, which is exactly why identical lifts in different buildings come with different cost estimates.

What adds most to the cost of a lift

• There is no shaft. Then it becomes a construction job: design, foundation, frame, wall fixings. That was the case in Storozhynets and at 73 Stryiska St. in Lviv.
• An architectural monument. Heritage approval is added, and every fixing on the facade has to be justified. Our example: 1 Hrushevskoho St. in Chernivtsi, heritage register No. 1740.
• The building stays in use. In an occupied residential building or a hospital, we work to a schedule and in stages. On an empty site, the same work would go faster.
• A non-standard shaft. Standard equipment does not fit, so we look for a renovation version or a different rated load, or we rebuild the shaft itself.
• Car finishes. Mirror-finish or coloured stainless steel, a full-height car operating panel, displays on every floor.

What we look at in your situation

What we need for a quote

At least three things: the address, the number of floors and the type of building. That is enough to arrange a site visit and tell you which options are realistic. If you have the dimensions from the diagram below, the preliminary quote will be more accurate. If not, our engineer will measure them on site.

Also tell us the number of stops, the rated load you need, whether there is a machine room and which side the doors are on at each floor.

For an escalator, we need the rise H, the angle A (30 or 35°), the step width and the installation location. Details are in the article "What affects the price of an escalator".

How long it takes

The timeframe depends on the shaft, the scope of building work and whether the building stays in use during installation. We give it after the site survey and write it into the contract.

Handover is most often held up by the inspection body's schedule, which the crew cannot influence. So it is best to build some slack into the plan from the start.

Free site survey

We do not charge for an engineer's survey visit anywhere in Ukraine, and the quote is free too, however the conversation ends. We will agree on the arrival time by phone. You can also start without a visit: send the dimensions or drawings to portallift@gmail.com. If the survey shows that a full replacement is not needed and modernization will be enough, we will tell you so.

Frequently asked questions about price

How much does a lift for an apartment building cost?

Our 2026 contracts for passenger lift replacement in residential buildings in Lviv are listed in our table from the Prozorro register, and the amount of each is shown on its procurement page. For your entrance the amount will be individual: it depends on the shaft, the pit and the number of stops.

How much does a lift for 2 floors or a private house cost?

We cannot give a ready-made figure, because the budget depends on the solution. A stairlift needs no building work, while an add-on shaft requires a design and a foundation. The options are compared on the "Home lifts" page, and we will calculate the cost after the site survey.

How much does a lift cost in Lviv or another city?

We calculate by the same rules: shaft, stops, rated load, car. Our table from the Prozorro register includes contracts from Lviv, Chernivtsi, Storozhynets and Rozhniativ, and the site survey is free anywhere in Ukraine.

Why don't you give a "from" price?

Because such a figure guarantees nothing. Without the shaft and the building, it would change after the very first site survey, and you need a budget you can rely on. That is why we show contracts that are easy to check and calculate the cost for your building free of charge.

How much does an MP lift cost?

We do not publish prices for MP lifts. The factory builds each lift for a specific shaft, so we calculate the cost for your building. The article "An MP lift to fit your shaft" explains what data we need for this.

How much does an escalator cost?

We give the amount once we know the rise, the step width, the series and the delivery route for the truss. There are no escalator contracts in our table from the Prozorro register. What exactly affects the cost estimate is explained in a separate article.

How much does a platform lift for a wheelchair user cost?

The 2025 contract for two platform lifts for the Lviv National Academy of Arts is in our table from the Prozorro register. A different type of platform, a different height and the work at the entrance will give a different amount. The options are described on the "Disabled access lifts" page.

Does the cost include putting the lift into service?

We include it as a separate item so that you can see it in the quote. After testing, we prepare the documents, hand the technical passports over to you and help the owner obtain the right to operate the lift.
