Our Founders
With a vision to enhance accessibility and independence, brothers John and James Garrett founded Velocity Home Lifts to help Australians comfortably age in place.
At Velocity Home Lifts, our mission is simple - to help Australians of all ages and abilities move freely and safely within their homes.
Velocity Home Lifts was founded in 2015 by John and James Garrett, two brothers passionate about helping fellow Australians enjoy mobility and independence in their homes. What began as a humble electrical solutions business run out of their garage has now grown into one of Sydney’s premier home lift companies.
Over the past 10 years, Velocity Home Lifts has stayed true to the Garretts’ commitment to innovation, reliability and professionalism. We take pride in designing, manufacturing and installing high-quality Australian-made lifts tailored specifically for residential settings. Our experienced team handles every project with care, paying close attention to safety and customer service.

We understand our customers value Australian-made products, desire a personalised approach, appreciate traditional service, and require a high level of trust and responsiveness. Our offerings are tailored to meet these needs.
Your safety is our top priority. Our lifts include numerous safety features such as our shallow ingress ramp, in-car emergency telephone and backup power system. We continuously enhance our products to maximise user safety.
