Commercial Elevator FAQs

Got questions about commercial elevators? Tap below to see answers on cost, ADA compliance, retrofits, and more.

What is a LU/LA commercial elevator?

A LU/LA (Limited Use/Limited Application) elevator is a small commercial elevator designed for low-rise buildings with limited occupancy. It offers accessibility similar to a complete commercial system but with reduced size and cost.

How does a LU/LA elevator differ from a commercial handicap lift?

A commercial handicap lift is typically for single-user access (wheelchairs or mobility devices). A LU/LA elevator provides a larger cab, increased capacity, and accommodates all building users, not just individuals with mobility needs.

How many stops can a LU/LA elevator serve?

Up to six stops, with travel distances of 25–40 feet.

Are commercial elevators safe?

Yes. LU/LA elevators feature advanced safety systems, including emergency lighting, battery backup, manual lowering, and alarm systems.

How much space is required?

LU/LA elevators use about half the space of a standard commercial elevator, making them ideal for retrofits.

What buildings are best suited for LU/LA elevators?

Schools, churches, libraries, government buildings, and low-rise offices are the most common applications.

How long does installation take?

Most LU/LA commercial elevators can be installed in just a few weeks, depending on the site and any necessary modifications.

Do commercial elevators increase property value?

Yes. Adding a commercial elevator system enhances accessibility and increases the resale value of commercial properties.

Who maintains the elevator after installation?

Our team provides complete maintenance and service plans to ensure long-term safety and compliance.

How much does a commercial elevator cost?

The cost of a commercial elevator depends on various factors, including the number of stops, customization options, and specific building requirements. LU/LA systems are more affordable than full-size elevators and often cost less than extensive stairway modifications.

Are LU/LA elevators ADA compliant?

Yes. LU/LA commercial elevators meet ADA accessibility requirements for public buildings, provided they are installed in accordance with code and applicable use cases. They are designed to ensure safe and inclusive access for individuals with disabilities.

Can a LU/LA elevator be retrofitted into an existing building?

Yes. LU/LA commercial handicap lifts and elevators are designed for retrofits. They require less space than standard elevators, making them ideal for existing schools, churches, and other low-rise buildings.
