Installing a fully functional residential or commercial elevator in an existing space comes with challenges. As a contractor or homeowner looking to install an elevator in a low-rise building, you will find yourself undergoing lengthy, time-consuming, and costly construction periods. Hydraulic, winding drum and vacuum elevators are best suited for taller buildings as they require extreme construction, and constant maintenance and are high in cost.
For low-rise buildings, you should install pitless elevators that do not require almost any construction, constant maintenance, have a low footprint and are budget-friendly. We will discuss the advantages of pitless elevators below and why you should invest in them.
1. Low Construction
As the owner of a vintage building built many years ago, the last thing you would want to do is excavate, tear down and rebuild walls to make them more accessible. Older buildings are beautifully sculpted and carry a lot of sentimental value, which is why most property owners dismiss the idea of an elevator, even though the need for accessible mobility is necessary.
To ensure the design and architecture of the building remain authentic, RAM Elevators + Lifts have engineered a series of pitless elevators and lifts to fit perfectly in any existing space. Our Smart Space Design allows us to provide you with the mobility solution you need with minimal modifications and construction. Our selection of the Stratus and the Crystal accommodate your needs for a fully functional elevating device without compromising the architectural design of your building.
