The Limited Use/Limited Application (LU/LA) elevator was developed to provide an additional type of vertical transportation for today's accessibility marketplace. It bridges the gap between the commercial elevator and the vertical platform lift. The LU/LA has the look and feel of a large commercial elevator but on a smaller scale.


National Wheel-O-Vator's LU/LA, the Evolution, has been designed to meet the requirements of ASME A17.1 and ICC/ANSI A117.1. It allows the architect or specifier to take the guesswork out of integrating this type of elevator into their application. Typical applications include schools, libraries, low rise commercial buildings, churches and multi-family housing.


The Evolution provides the functionality of a commercial elevator with the elegance and warmth of a residential elevator. Our optional handcrafted wood interior walls are manufactured in a variety of hardwoods, such as Cherry, Maple, Hickory, Oak, Birch, and others.


A 90 Degree car is an available option when you purchase an Evolution. The car itself is offered with a 51" x 51" clear car with 36" sliding doors. Placing and Evolution in your project has now become easier than ever.


The Evolution is equipped with automatic power sliding commercial doors. The returns are constructed of durable stainless steel. Standard car size is 42" x 54" with a capacity of 1400 lbs. The ceiling comes standard with two energy efficient recessed lights that illuminate the interior during use. The hall call buttons light up, as the car is traveling from floor to floor.


Features, such as the stainless steel handrail and baked enamel walls, add quality and durability to every car. Each Limited Use/Limited Application Elevator is precision built to assure the owner's complete satisfaction. National Wheel-O-Vator is a manufacturer committed to long lasting, easy to install, quality products.
