Elevator Lift: Commerical, Wheel Chair And Residential

Since the introduction of the skyscraper into the modern world, the stairs have become semi-obsolete in the cityscape. Walking up dozens or even hundreds of flights of stairs is impractical and would require the strength and time of an athlete. To combat this problem, the invention of the elevator lift came along and revolutionized how people get upstairs. The elevator lift, in addition to being an integral part of high-rise buildings, can help people in other ways as well. For those confined to a wheel chair or crutches, venturing up the stairs is impossible. Also, an elevator lift can increase mobility for the elderly, people with strollers, or others who simply would rather not walk. Various companies offer consumers elevator lifts designed specially for residential, commercial, and wheel chair compatible purposes.

One elevator lift dealer in South Carolina, Elevator Lift Systems Inc., offers customers an array of residential elevators. One type of elevator lift they install is the Excelevator, a roped hydraulic elevator that promises reliability, convenience, and comfort. The model boasts a quiet ride and accurate leveling at each floor for a safe entrance and exit. The car is versatile and can be outfitted for passengers, a motorized wheelchair or scooter, or a passenger in a wheelchair and an attendant. An elevator lift maker, Savaria-Concord, can provide customers with the Infinity Luxury Lift model. The Infinity can hold up to 750 pounds and operates on a hydraulic system. The cab comes in many different finishes and colors to allow consumers to customize the elevator lift.

For commercial elevators, the design differs. A New York and New Jersey based elevator lift company, Mobility Elevator & Lift Co., has two available commercial models. Concord's Orion is a fully enclosed elevator that uses a cable hydraulic drive system. There is a wide variety of cab colors and interiors and it can be personalized to match the environment. The Orion is cost-effective and easily installed and can be added to almost any low rise application. For customers looking for an elevator that can serve more floors, Mobility suggests the Prolift Voyager, an elevator that can carry up to 1000 pounds. This model also uses a cable hydraulic drive system and can serve up to five floors. The Prolift Voyager also includes safety and operation features in the standard package and has an array of elegant interiors to choose from.

Accessibility is the essence of the elevator, and companies offer customers in wheel chairs vertical platform lifts, inclined platform lifts, and chair lifts. Savaria Concord has several models for vertical wheel chair lifts, one of which is the P.A.L. EN Vertical Platform Lift. This model has been designed with an emergency powered backup system that can lower and raise even during a power failure. Elevator Lift Systems, Inc., carries the inclined platform lift, Pegasus. The standard platform of this model is the largest in the industry and folds up very narrowly. The model has bi-directional safety ramp sensors that protect both the Pegasus-user and other people on the stairs as well. Mobility Elevator & Lift Co., sells the Electra-Ride III, which is a stair-chair lift. It has a new custom rail design that boasts a smooth ride even through twists and turns.

With so many options, differently-abled people can be more mobile than ever before. Now companies have a slew of both residential and commercial elevator lifts and stair lifts that can help people navigate their own home as well as the buildings that surround them.
