You don't want an "elevator", you want a "wheelchair lift".
I'm installing one when we build the new office for my dad. He wants to have a second story office after he retires, so I'm going to build him a second story family room type of office space. The lift allows one person to stand behind an occupant in a wheelchair, but not turn around. They would either back in, or back out. It has a boxed shaft (enclosed) and will have a glass window running up the entire height, so the occupant can see out.
An "elevator" requires monthly inspections, must have an operating permit, etc etc. We don't want to go there because it's not for public use.
