LULA (limited use/limited application) elevators are designed to provide accessibility in low-rise commercial buildings such as schools, places of worship, hospitals, stations, airports, clubs, and meeting halls. These systems offer the dual benefits of a standard commercial elevator as well as a wheelchair lift.

Designed to meet the safety standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), these systems can be easily installed in small buildings where in a full-size commercial lift cannot be installed. Advanced models come with superior safety features such as speed governor, emergency alarm, fully automatic sliding doors, automatic stainless steel control, interlock system, cab lighting with stop buttons and more.
