Why Choose a Pitless Elevator?
Pitless elevator lifts are a great addition to your home. They can help you if you are experiencing mobility problems or if you just need to be able to get upstairs quickly. If you will not be using it for residential use, you can
have one installed in a commercial building to make getting from one floor to the next easier as well. Keep in mind that for a building to have a pitless lift, it needs to be typically between 2 to 6 stories high. What Are the Key Features of a Pitless Elevator? The features of a pitless elevator can vary depending on the model that you would like to purchase and have installed. If you are looking to have one installed in your home, you can install a very basic model. For example, most elevator and lass lifts will come with a 1 1/2 inch in diameter aluminum handrail for safety measures. Also, most lifts will come with a hoist way door that will include an interlock access key. Some other key features are a telephone jack (make sure to hook up a phone for emergency purposes), and an electrical alarm that will utilize push buttons. If you would like to get some additional features, you can upgrade to keyed security, car-here lights, and a stainless steel or bronze phone cabinet. Finally, installing a pitless elevator lift in your home or office building can be a great addition. Not only will you help those that suffer from mobility problems, but you may also add value to the building if you were to ever need to sell it. In other words, you will be adding a element of convenience, as well as potential value and money to your home or office building.

First, due in part to Medicare’s recent recognition of the lightweight standard wheelchair category, the annual U.S. sales of $70 million in this category is expected to grow 15% annually. Second, Quickie and Guardian both penetrate the distribution channels in different ways. Quickie sells its products through rehab suppliers, and caters to new users and younger, active patients.
