Accessible design and universal navigation components aren’t just a legal requirement for commercial spaces; they’re essential for developers who want to make it clear to tenants, customers, and everyone who interacts with their building that you value their dignity and comfort when interacting with your property. At RAM Elevators and Lifts, our commercial vertical platform lifts (VPL) are designed to provide reliable and customizable accessibility solutions for various industries and residential homeowners.
Below, we’ll discuss some of the most important benefits of choosing commercial platform lifts for your business. Read on to learn more!
Enhanced Accessibility for Customers and Employees
As we mentioned above, one of the most important and likely the most obvious benefits of installing a commercial vertical platform lift is dramatically increasing the overall accessibility of your property. Accessibility drives more customer interaction and translates to better business, but it also demonstrates your priority to inclusivity, making your space welcome to everyone. This is essential for accessibility legislation and general efficiency for your operations.
Cost-Effective Solution Compared to Elevators
While there’s definitely a valid case for installing an elevator in a commercial space, particularly in buildings with multiple levels, commercial platform lifts offer a more cost-effective option that still provides reliable accessibility for spaces with minimal need for elevation solutions. Platform lifts are easier to install and maintain in comparison to elevators. Models like our Flex Lift afford you even more flexibility, meaning you can fit your lift into more spaces than ever before. VPLs can be installed in compact spaces for optimal efficiency and allow you to offer increased safety and a better experience for everyone navigating your space.
Enhanced Building Appeal and Compliance
As we mentioned above, there are stringent accessibility standards that commercial spaces must abide by. VPLs can help meet these requirements and enhance the overall appeal of your establishment while making it more accessible to a broader range of people. Compliance helps to protect developers from hefty fines and the need to retrofit at a higher cost later on and can dramatically improve the functionality of the overall layout of your building.
A commercial platform lift from RAM can be customized to fit the look and feel of your space, making it easier than ever to stay on the right side of legislation!
Versatile Options for Different Business Needs
Commercial platform lifts like our Flex Lift model are designed to be configured and styled to seamlessly integrate into your space and meet the needs of your unique property. Whether you need an enclosed lift, an open platform, or one with a low profile, there’s a platform lift option that’s right for your exact requirements.
