For commercial business owners, making sure your building is open and accessible to all tenants, community members, and guests from all backgrounds is crucial. Beyond remaining compliant with Canadian accessibility standards, an accessible property creates a welcoming atmosphere that helps boost your bottom line by increasing your day-to-day traffic and visitor count.
One of the best ways to remove mobility barriers and help those with accessibility needs make the most of your space is to install a commercial elevator, making it easy for guests to reach multiple levels safely. At RAM Elevators + Lifts, we believe in the power of accessible design, and know just how transformative the right mobility solutions can be for every space. We also believe that incorporating a new elevator shouldn’t come with massive headaches or the need to sacrifice valuable floor space.
Discover why our Commercial Stratus and Crystal elevators are among the most trusted solutions in North America, and how you can create the perfect commercial space with our help below.
Smart Engineering Built on a Solid Foundation
At RAM, we’re passionate about creating solutions that maximize value for our customers while minimizing friction points for seamless installs and long-term performance. We know that commercial businesses (and, let’s be honest, homeowners too for our residential solutions) need to use as much of their floor plan as possible. That means that efficiency is just as important as performance in the long run.
The good news for buyers is that our industry-leading machine room-less (MRL) design lets you enjoy high-end performance without sacrificing the space you’d need for most other traditional units. With no need for a machine room and a design that allows all components to be self-contained within the standalone guiderail tower, you also don’t have to worry about costly excavations for retrofits. Combine this with no nasty hydraulic smell (our products are fully electric) and multiple other RAM advantages, and it’s no surprise that our dealers and our customers love working with our products!
Navigating the Lineup: Commercial Stratus vs. Crystal
Finding the right machine for your property comes down to matching your daily building traffic with the model that best suits your needs. Our premium Commercial Elevators + Lifts lineup features two highly specialized models engineered for lasting reliability:
Commercial Stratus:
The Commercial Stratus is designed specifically for two-story structures and delivers a solid 800 lb capacity, travelling up to 14 vertical feet. Available in three standardized car sizes, its streamlined manufacturing blueprint significantly cuts down project lead times, making it a great option for fast-tracked local builds.
Commercial Crystal:
When your property demands maximum vertical potential and high-capacity performance, our Commercial Crystal model represents the absolute pinnacle of low-rise engineering! Capable of lifting up to 1,400 lbs and travelling up to 23 feet (7 metres), it uses a fully counterbalanced traction drive system engineered for high efficiency. Best of all, Crystal provides total design control, offering custom car sizing and multiple entry orientations to fit your specific architectural goals.
Dependable Performance Built to Reduce Operational Risk
RAM’s commitment to premium materials and uncompromising design quality significantly reduces operational risks. We believe that every ride should come with peace of mind, and that safety and comfort are non-negotiable in every space. Our products are built to the highest standard in accordance with all relevant North American safety regulations, and we partner with an extensive network of dealers to ensure that your installation and long-term maintenance are handled by true professionals we trust to uphold the RAM promise of quality and care.
