Savaria Orion Hydraulic LU/LA elevator

Affordable, automatic commercial accessibility

The Savaria Orion LU/LA hydraulic elevator features fully automatic operation and provides accessibility for low-rise commercial buildings. Using a precision hydraulic drive, the Orion is known for its smooth, reliable performance. The high-efficiency system is compatible with the use of LEED-qualified Hydro Safe hydraulic vegetable oil.

This model requires a machine room, but needs a lower overhead and more shallow pit requirements compared to full-sized passenger elevators.
