Affordable Lifts for Commercial Spaces

October 2, 2025 by Arrow Lift

For some building owners, making your commercial space accessible is mostly about achieving ADA compliance. For others, it’s about creating a welcoming environment for everyone who walks through your door. Either way, when your building is ADA-compliant, you’re also expanding your reach and creating a better experience for all visitors. 

In short, accessible spaces lead to happier customers and loyal repeat business.

Even better? Accessibility upgrades don’t have to come with a sky-high price tag. Whether you’re updating an existing space or building from the ground up, commercial accessibility solutions can be versatile and cost-effective. An affordable wheelchair lift is within reach! 

Let’s explore the most popular accessibility options, including commercial passenger elevators, LULA lifts, vertical platform lifts (VPLs), and ramps. Each has its place depending on your situation, budget, and space constraints. Understanding the pros, cons, and costs of each option will help you make an informed decision that works for both your accessibility needs and your bottom line.

Commercial Stair Lifts and Building Codes

September 18, 2025 by Arrow Lift

Commercial stair lifts are sometimes used to improve accessibility in public or community spaces, especially where a full elevator installation isn’t practical and where ADA compliance is not required. Professionally installed on existing stair treads, these stair chair lifts allow individuals with limited mobility to ride up and down a staircase using a mounted chair.

Stair lifts can offer added convenience in certain settings. Places of worship, veterans’ organizations, fraternal orders, and other community service establishments are common examples. However, they aren’t appropriate for all commercial spaces, especially those subject to strict ADA or building code requirements. 

Let’s look at the benefits and limitations of commercial stair lifts to help you understand when they may be a viable solution and when a different option is needed.

A home elevator is more than a convenience—it’s a statement of modern luxury and comfort. Enabling seamless travel between floors, with elegant design features and quiet operation, it’s easy to see why residential elevators are becoming a more common feature in many homes

But if your home elevator doesn’t seem to be working properly, that sense of ease can quickly turn into frustration. Fortunately, not every issue requires a service call. This quick guide to home elevator troubleshooting can help you identify and resolve common problems, so you can get back to enjoying the smooth, stress-free experience your elevator was built to deliver.

Important note: Home elevators are valuable convenience and safety-enhancing devices when installed and maintained properly. However, they can present safety hazards if not installed by trained professionals or when neglected for long periods of time. We always recommend you consult an experienced, local home elevator company if you have doubts about the condition or safety of your home elevator.
