The Future of Vertical Movement: The Crystal

by | Aug 23, 2024 | Elevators

When it comes to your commercial building, ensuring complete accessibility for all potential customers should be high on your list of priorities. Commercial buildings that need to increase accessibility can find the products they need at RAM Elevators + Lifts. Below, we will discuss the benefits of installing the Commercial Crystal in your space.

Accessibility vs Public Transportation

It’s important to distinguish that commercial elevators are a different product from commercial lifts. Clients searching for an elevator with the goal of making a building more accessible are actually searching for a lift. The term commercial elevator is used to describe public transportation in a building used for general foot traffic, moving goods, and other uses. On the other hand, a lift is designed specifically for wheelchair users, people with walking aids, and others with mobility impairments. These products are not meant for transporting goods or for the general public to choose over stairs.

The RAM Advantage

The Crystal comes with many of the RAM Advantages exclusive to our line of products. Each Commercial Crystal comes with these key features:

Soft Start/Stop

Begin and end your ride without effort. RAM engineering standards mean that your Crystal will glide smoothly from one stop to the next, keeping each user comfortable.

All-Electric Drive System

Experience a powerful and whisper-quiet ride. Without harsh hydraulic fluids typically needed in elevators, you’ll notice the absence of strong odours.

Machine-Room Less Design

No additional space is required for functionality. Our design for each lift is self-contained, meaning you need not waste extra space in your home to operate your machine.

Limited or No Pit Required

Avoid the invasion of deep construction for a limited pit required. Less construction means less cost and easier setup.

With patented engineering only available with RAM products, you’ll discover that accessibility has never felt so luxurious. Talk to us today about the RAM Advantage to learn more.

The Crystal vs The Stratus

Our two most popular commercial lifts are the Stratus and the Crystal. Your choice between the two will depend on the features you deem most important to have in your elevator, along with the customizations you wish to do and the budget you have to spend. The Stratus, like the Crystal, operates on an all-electric drive system without the use of hydraulics. This specialty engineering ensures that your lift will not produce harsh chemical smells that may disrupt the experience you have carefully crafted for your patrons. Instead, our products will operate whisper-quiet, allowing users to enjoy easy accessibility. Both lifts are designed to contain all machinery within itself, rendering the typical necessary machine room useless. With features such as the pitless design, these RAM products combine functionality with luxury.

The Stratus is our accessible option that is budget-conscious, at 65% less expensive than comparable products. With the Stratus, you can choose between car sizes and travel distances and choose the interior finishes that work best in your building. Or, completely customize the look of your Crystal lift with only your imagination as your limit.
