How Often Do LULA & Home Elevators Need Inspection?

March 11, 2026 by Arrow Lift

 elevator maintenance requirements

Because elevators are so commonplace, itโ€™s easy to forget just how complex these machines are. An elevator is made of many moving parts, including a car for passengers, doors or gates with safety sensors, and a drive system. All of these parts must work together to provide a smooth and secure ride.

To keep this system reliable, routine elevator maintenance is key. It not only supports safe operation but also helps prevent costly repairs and extends the life of your investment. Just as important, elevators must meet inspection and testing requirements to remain in service. 

This guide explains what elevator owners should know about maintenance, inspections, and safety tests for both residential and Limited Use/Limited Application (LULA) elevators.

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, itโ€™s about creating a welcoming environment for everyone who walks through your door. Either way, when your building is ADA-compliant, youโ€™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 donโ€™t have to come with a sky-high price tag. Whether youโ€™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! 

Letโ€™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.
