LULA Elevators by Custom Elevator Manufacturing
Overview
T.L. Shield & Associates, Inc. distributes the Custom Elevator Manufacturing Limited Use Limited Application LULA Elevators. The founders of Custom Elevator Manufacturing, who introduced the first roped hydraulic commercial elevator to the U.S. market, are back to set the standards for LULA elevator systems. Their roped 1:2 hydraulic design provides the quietest and smoothest operation in the industry. This system utilizes components and devices that are tested and certified to the most stringent requirements and have been tried and proven on commercial mid- rise elevator applications subject to more frequent use. Their commitment to quality, safety, and dependability are unparalleled. Custom Elevator Manufacturing's unique design minimizes hoistway space, machine room space, pit depth, and overhead clearances and operates on stan- dard single phase power. This, combined with the flexibility to have the machine equipment located remotely and car sizes customized to fit most any conditions, makes our system ideal for remodeling projects or new construction buildings. At Custom Elevator Manufacturing Company and T.L. Shield & Associates, Inc., our main focus is on service beyond the sale, state of the art technology, superior quality, product reliability, safety, and our top priority is always the customer. |

A limited use/limited application LULA elevator is a power passenger elevator in which the use and application is limited by size, capacity, speed, and rise. These low-rise elevator systems bridge the gap between conventional commercial elevators and other undesirable lifts used to provide solutions for architectural barriers. A LULA elevator from Custom Elevator Manufacturing Company is designed and manufactured in accordance with ASME A17.1 "Safety Code For Elevators and Escalators" and offers features to meet accessibility and fire protec- tion guidelines, making this elevator a perfect, cost-effective solution for most small public building applications including churches, schools, lodges, restaurants, nursing homes, and more. |
