A passenger lift can be used for both residential and business purposes. If you are currently in need of one, it will be important to decide which company will provide you with it and also install it. When passenger lifts are used in homes, it is usually because someone in it has a disability which prevents them from using the stairs to get to the next level. If this is the case with you, there are going to be plenty of different options for you to look over.

Those businesses that need a new passenger lift for customers who want to go to different levels of the building without having to use the stairs will also want to consider their options. Passenger lifts are built for transporting people, whereas freight lifts are meant for transporting goods and products. Usually passenger lifts have a total weight capacity of around 2,500 lbs, though it does vary depending on the lift. The weight capacity for your lift will depend on whether you are going to be using it for residential or public purposes. Obviously public lifts need to have a higher weight capacity because they will be transporting more people to another level of the building at one time.
