Commercial stairlifts and lifts for public spaces, such as churches, temples, community centers, and VA centers, often require additional features to meet the unique demands of these environments. These lifts, designed for use by the general public or members of a business or organization (rather than residential settings), typically include:
- A 400-pound weight capacity (compared to the standard 275 to 300 pounds for residential lifts)
- An over-speed brake system for enhanced safety
- The ability to lock the lift when not in use
- Certification ensuring the lift meets commercial use standards
Both the indoor Bruno Elite straight and Bruno Elite curved stairlifts offer versions that comply with these commercial requirements. While they operate similarly to residential models, certain commercial locations may also require permits for installation and periodic inspections.
