KEY FEATURES

Tailored Finishes

Choose from three standard car sizes and travel distances, in addition to multiple interior finishes and door styles to complement your space.

Economical Performance

The Commercial Stratus is 40% less expensive than our first-generation Traction LULA Elevator and up to 65% less expensive than other commercial passenger elevators.

Soft Start/Stop

Thoughtful engineering means every ride on a RAM product begins and ends with comfort in mind.

All-Electric Drive System

RAM’s field-proven electric drive system is reliable, powerful, and whisper-quiet. Plus, no hydraulic fluid = no harsh smells.

Machine-Room Less (MRL) Design

While other elevators may need a separate room for essential machinery, every RAM product is compact and self-contained, saving you space, time, and money.

Limited or No Pit Required

Choose a pitless build with a 2” ramp, ideal for existing spaces, or a 2” pit for flush access.

STRATUS IS THE BEST CHOICE FOR

Refined Understated Capability. At RAM, we believe the journey is as important as the destination. Your commercial elevator and lift solutions shouldn’t simply be a means to an end but an integral part of your space’s aesthetic and functionality.

commercial spaces.

Accessible Connectivity

Connecting a commercial high-rise with the municipal light rail transit system, this 4-1/2 foot vertical lift was added as a vital connective hub between two spaces. Ease of use, safety, reliability and durability were priorities for this frequently used lift, without compromising the carefully curated aesthetic of the space, or flow of adjacent foot traffic.

Refined Retrofit Capability

When our client renovated a heritage space for their new head office, they faced unique layout considerations that could cause accessibility challenges in reaching the main office space. Looking for a refined solution while integrating with the sophisticated, modern and welcoming corporate entrance aesthetic, the Commercial Stratus fit the bill and gave our client a seamless solution that didn’t break the bank, or look out of place.

French Modern Luxury

This 8,000 square foot newly built private residence is designed to impress and entertain. The elevator was designed to highlight the home’s incredible river valley views with a glass-backed car and shaft, giving riders a breathtaking vista as they ride from the basement sports court and gym to the rooftop hot tub. It’s black, white and marble finishings and custom sliding door fit seamlessly with this modern, youthful, and grand home.

Uncompromisingly Sophisticated Infill

This home is part of an infill project in a mature central neighourhood. The elevator was added to give homeowners unfettered access while maximizing vertical space. Its understated design and four-stops with three entry points minimizes the product’s footprint while maximizing impact, ushering riders (and their furry friends) from the basement garage all the way to a rooftop deck, stopping in the kitchen, and bedroom levels along the journey.

Accessibility Takes Centre Stage

This commercial elevator is no wallflower. Designed with a staircase wrapping around it, and made fully of glass, riders get a 270 degree view of the stunning golf course that surrounds it. When faced with an accessibility challenge, our client chose to lean-in to the aesthetic potential of our products and created a truly wow-ing experience for those who need, or simple chose to ride in style in this two storey multipurpose building which houses a pro-shop, meeting spaces and a café.

Creating Freedom at Home

After an accident left our client in a wheelchair, he was suddenly cut off from many of the day-to-day aspects of life at home. When his family made the decision to build a new home, the goal was designing a space that allowed everyone to be together in every space. This fully accessible new build includes a discrete three stop elevator that connects the walk-out basement, the main floor living space, and the third floor bedroom space, giving unbridled home freedom to all members of this lovely family.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I write off the cost of a commercial elevator installation?
RAM Elevators services North America, so specific write-offs and rebate initiatives will vary by province, territory, or state. However, in an effort to create more inclusive spaces, most provinces, territories, and states offer initiatives to alleviate the cost of installing a commercial elevator, so check with financial advisors for local or federal programs.
Can I install a commercial elevator if I rent my space?
We require consent from the property owner or agency before starting an installation, so it’s advised to check with the entity you’re leasing from. However, most property owners want to remain compliant and accessible, so we’re happy to coordinate with them prior to installation. If your rental company ultimately does not approve the installation, we suggest investing in a commercial lift instead, which can be installed and removed without structural interference.
Does a commercial elevator require maintenance?
Like any other mechanical device, such as a furnace or motor, your RAM Elevator requires periodic maintenance to keep it functioning at its best. Thanks to our innovative engineering and design, though, your new commercial elevator from RAM will require less frequent or invasive maintenance than a traditional elevator with a machine room and drive shaft. We’re happy to walk you through your maintenance schedule as part of our installation and onboarding process.
What is the useful life of a commercial elevator?
Commercial elevators that are serviced and maintained regularly and used in their approved manner should have a guaranteed life cycle of 25-35 years. However, factors such as design, usage, environmental factors, and maintenance frequency will all increase or decrease the lifespan of your RAM Elevator.

CERTIFICATIONS

At RAM Elevators + Lifts, we believe that trust is built on transparency. That’s why we proudly share the certifications, safety standards, and industry memberships that guide every product we build and every installation we support.

Unlike many large competitors in the accessibility space, RAM makes these commitments visible—because we believe our customers deserve clarity when it comes to the safety, performance, and reliability of our products.
