To reduce the space demand required by stairways and also the installation and maintenance costs of an elevator, get the Pedalvator.
The Pedalvator also comes equiped with special 'moving day' gears that let you slowly lift heavy loads without endangering yourself and others.

Human powered elevators have been around for a while (link). Treadmill powered ones were also used in the Middle Ages to build churches and such. |
