Lifts and elevators play a very crucial role in the life of some people like those having mobility related issues, people with disabilities and even elderly people. There are different kinds of lifts like those used at home and those used in commercial establishments and both these types are very useful.
Different models fall in this category and all of them are entirely different from each other.
Here in this post, we take a look at some important factors, as narrated by the vendors of inclined platform lifts that separate commercial and residential elevators.
COST-
According to the vendors of commercial inclined platform lifts, the cost is a very major factor that sets these types of elevators separate from each other. The fact is that commercial elevators are much more expensive and the cost of their installation is much higher than its closest counterpart.
The main factors that influence the cost of commercial elevator is the presence of a separate machine room for the same followed by more seriousness shown in maintenance and repair. Yes, repair too because these commercial elevators will get rigorously used and hence, their chances of break-down will also increase.
SIZE-
Vendors of commercial inclined platform lifts say that the size is another factor that separates these types of elevators or lifts. The residential elevators are much smaller in size, as compared to commercial elevators.
The size of the commercial elevator can be different and the one you want would entirely depend upon the need, the building in which it is installed and most importantly, the reason behind its installation.
For example – commercial lifts in hospitals are large enough to accommodate an entire patient bed along with several people standing around him. Similarly, there are commercial inclined platform lifts that can be used to transfer a wheelchair user to a certain height.
Experts say that requirements mean that lifts for a commercial environment need to have a much bigger capacity and size.
