If you are looking for a product that has a high capacity and can accommodate multiple passengers, the Savaria Orion LU/LA elevator is an excellent choice as it is rated for up to 1400 lb.
Many commercial and public buildings use a vertical platform lift (VPL) for accessibility. A VPL is generally rated for 750 lb capacity which is appropriate to carry one user with a manual or powered wheelchair and an attendant. Some models, such as the Savaria Prolift, can accommodate up to 1400 lb.
An inclined platform lift (IPL) travels over the stairs and has a slightly lower capacity than a vertical platform lift (550 to 660 lb). The lift can carry one person in a manual or powered wheelchair.
Motorized devices such as power wheelchairs and scooters can be heavy without the user, and must be factored into the capacity needs of platform lifts.
A stairlift, which requires a person to travel without the wheelchair, can accommodate up to 350 lb. A stairlift must be used by someone who can safely sit and get on and off the chair.
