Elevators & Vertical Platform Lifts
The Symmetry Hybrid lift looks and feels like an elevator but operates like a vertical platform lift.
The lift is installed in a shaft with swing doors on each landing, no gates on the car, and the ceiling is not load-bearing. The controls of the hybrid lift are constant pressure, so the user has complete control of the car's movement.
Commercial applications
A Hybrid Lift is a shaftway lift that has gone the extra mile. Designed in a manner to dress up a VPL, hybrid lifts look much like a residential elevator, with wood walls and ceiling and many options for control fixture finishes.
Installed in a hoistway, the hybrid is accessed through hoistway doors, and no gates are present in the system. According to code, the ceiling must be non-load-bearing, so you have the option of a breakaway wood ceiling or an egg crate ceiling.
Hybrid lift options
The Symmetry Hybrid lift can be manufactured from wood or metal and tailored to your preferences. Customize the doors and car to match the style and decor of your building.
Like an elevator, the hybrid also features handrails and fixtures, such as COPs and landing controls, available in various materials and designs.
