Lite elevators are a lower duty category of passenger lift appropriate for residential homes and disability access in public spaces.
Compared to commercial elevators, the lift car construction is light and compact which minimizes the lift shaft size. The operating speed is lower and power consumption economical. The maximum load capacity and floor area are typically appropriate for up to 5 people or a wheelchair user with an attendant. Doors may be manually operated or powered similar to a commercial elevator.
Utilising a lite elevator in a commercial or public environment can be an economical solution if the building design naturally channels most people to use the stairs while the elevator provides access specifically for those with disabilities.
For lite elevator installations McGrath Industries works with LiftingItalia who produce the InDomo and IconLift homelifts:
From its inception in 1964, McGrath Industries has specialised in creating mechanical handling solutions for customers with heavy lift and transfer requirements.
