Wheelchair Lifts & Vertical Platform Lifts (VPLs)
Many Glen Ellyn homes feature elevated front entrances, finished basements, and backyard decks connected by multiple levels. Combined with the area’s mature neighborhoods and sloping lots, these features can make everyday access more challenging for wheelchair and scooter users.
Our outdoor wheelchair lifts provide a clean, low-profile alternative to long access ramps. Built to withstand Illinois’ freezing winters, rainy springs, and humid summers, they’re designed to deliver dependable performance year after year.
Indoor wheelchair lifts, also known as vertical platform lifts, offer a compact, space-saving solution for moving safely between lower levels and main living areas when a full home elevator isn’t necessary. They’re also a practical accessibility option for Glen Ellyn’s churches, community centers, medical offices, and local businesses.
Installing a Home Elevator in Glen Ellyn
Many Glen Ellyn homeowners have lived in the community for years and want to remain in the homes they love rather than relocate. An in-home elevator helps make aging where you are a comfortable long-term option while allowing you to continue enjoying every level of your home.
Beyond improving everyday accessibility, a home elevator can also add lasting value to your property. In Glen Ellyn’s desirable housing market, it’s a premium feature that appeals to buyers looking for comfort, convenience, and long-term accessibility.
The in-house technicians at DME Elevators & Lifts are manufacturer-trained to ensure Excellence in Elevation through expert installation, maintenance, and service. Our partnerships with Garaventa Lift and Cibes-Symmetry allow us to provide high-quality home elevators with a variety of cab styles, finishes, and customization options.
Dumbwaiters
In larger Glen Ellyn homes, carrying groceries, laundry, luggage, or other household items between floors can become tiring over time. At DME Elevators & Lifts, we install residential and commercial dumbwaiters that make everyday tasks easier.
In your home, a dumbwaiter can move groceries, laundry, luggage, and household supplies between floors while blending naturally with your home’s layout. Every system is customized to fit your space and daily needs.
Commercial dumbwaiters are also a practical solution for Glen Ellyn’s restaurants, offices, churches, and community facilities. When a full passenger elevator isn’t practical, they provide a convenient way to move supplies, food trays, files, and equipment safely between floors.
LULA Elevators
DME Elevators & Lifts installs LULA (Limited Use/Limited Application) elevators as a practical solution between a wheelchair lift and a full commercial elevator. LULA elevators provide cost-effective accessibility for Glen Ellyn’s commercial buildings and public spaces while helping properties meet ADA requirements.
Common installation settings include:
- Downtown Glen Ellyn Retail & Commercial Buildings
- Medical Offices & Professional Suites
- Churches & Houses of Worship
- Private Clubs & Community Facilities
From installation through ongoing maintenance, our experienced technicians provide the service and support needed to keep your LULA elevator operating safely and reliably for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have a showroom where I can see a lift installed?
Yes. Our closest showroom is located in nearby Lisle, about a 12 to 15-minute drive from downtown Glen Ellyn and Lake Ellyn. Schedule an appointment, and one of our mobility specialists will walk you through our working lift displays, available finishes, and control options.
Do you sell used and rental stair lifts in Darien?
Yes. DME Elevators & Lifts offers both used and rental stair lifts throughout our Illinois service area. Because inventory changes regularly, we recommend contacting our team to check current availability and find the best option for your home.
How long does it take to have a stair lift installed once purchased?
Installation timelines depend on the type of stair lift you need. Straight stair lifts can often be installed within just a few days. Curved stair lifts require custom measurements and rail fabrication, which typically takes four to six weeks. If you need installation as quickly as possible, let our team know, and we’ll discuss available scheduling options.
Do you work with the city on local permit and building code requirements?
Yes. DME Elevators & Lifts works directly with the Village of Glen Ellyn Community Development Department to obtain the permits required for residential and commercial installations. We’ll handle the permit paperwork, coordinate inspections, and ensure your project complies with all applicable building codes.
Are your stair lifts and home elevators American made?
Yes. Many of the products we install are manufactured in the United States. We are a certified dealer for Bruno Stair Lifts, which are built in nearby Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. We also partner with trusted manufacturers such as Stannah Stair Lifts, along with Cibes Symmetry and Garaventa Lift, to provide reliable home elevator solutions backed by strong warranties and extensive customization options.
