Benefit from a LULA Elevator?

A limited use/limited application (LULA) elevator is a cross between a traditional elevator and a stair lift. It is designed to provide building accessibility to people in wheelchairs or those who are unable to climb stairs.

A LULA elevator is a good choice for businesses in low-rise buildings that do not have a need for a traditional elevator. A LULA elevator can travel up to 25 feet, which makes it unable to transport people in tall buildings, but a perfect choice for a building that is a few stories tall.

One of the primary advantages of a LULA elevator is that it takes up much less space than a traditional elevator, which makes it ideal for a small building that does not have the room for a conventional elevator but needs to provide access to handicapped customers and employees. A LULA elevator measures only 5' wide and 3'6" deep, which makes it the perfect size for a single person in a wheelchair. A closet or walk-in cupboard can easily be converted into a LULA elevator. A LULA elevator requires a pit depth of only 14", which is much less than a traditional elevator. No excavation is required to install a LULA elevator. It also requires an overhead clearance of only 10'7".

Another advantage of a LULA elevator is the cost. A LULA elevator costs much less than a traditional elevator. It also requires maintenance only once every six months, compared to every month for a traditional elevator. This can save thousands of dollars over a period of many years. Maintenance costs for a traditional elevator often far exceed the cost of installation.

A LULA elevator is an ideal option for a small business, school, church, or nonprofit organization located in a low-rise building without enough space to install a traditional elevator. Its low cost and less frequent maintenance requirements also make it an attractive option for a business on a tight budget that need to provide access to handicapped individuals.
