How would you install plumbing such as a sink or toilet in a basement where the drainage pipe exits high above the floor?

install a tank and a sewage ejector pump
There are also "macerating toilets" which grind the waste and eject it vertically through a 3/4" or 1" waste pipe until the waste is higher than the existing waste drain pipe where it can then flow downward using gravity.
These macerating toilets can cost upwards of $1000, but they save the effort and cost of having to cut the concrete floor, dig a hole, bury the tank and ejector pump and then fix the concrete floor. Many of these toilets have pipe inlets where an additional sink and/or shower drain can be added to the macerating tank, further easing the installation of a full or 1/2 bath.
