Bruno Connect Compact Home Elevator
Minimal footprint shaftless elevator engineered for tight spaces
The Bruno Connect Compact is the smallest-footprint shaftless elevator in the Bruno Connect family. Designed to travel cleanly through a floor cut-out along a freestanding rail system, it fits nearly anywhere in a multi-level home without requiring a dedicated hoistway or load-bearing wall.

Key features built into the Compact
Engineered for seamless through-floor travel with modern transparent styling, low-threshold accessibility, and smooth, quiet operation.
Installs Nearly Anywhere
With its compact footprint and freestanding self-supporting rail, this elevator can be positioned in a living room, hallway, or bedroom without taking over the room.
Low Door Threshold
An ultra-low entry threshold ensures easy walk-in access without steps or steep ramps to navigate when entering or exiting the cab.
Freestanding Rail Against a Wall
The elevator glides smoothly along a self-supporting vertical rail that can sit close to an existing wall, requiring no structural load-bearing wall reinforcement.
