AJAY VRC Storage Lift Vs Passenger Elevator

Compared to passenger hydraulic elevators, the AJAY VRC lift is far less costly and more practical for self-storage facilities. See for yourself, here are just some of the factual comparisons against the two types of lifts.

Initial Costs

It's no secret that passenger elevators cost quite nearly an arm and a leg, your first born, and the time share in Vegas. With an AJAY lift, you can keep all of that and even have all ten fingers. Not only will your initial costs be less than half of what it would be for a passenger elevator, your operating costs are significantly less as well.

Costly Elevator Permits

In order to install a passenger elevator for the storage industry expensive permits must be purchased, and lead times for processing with plan-check are exceptionally long.

AJAY's VRC Lifts carry cargo only, this dramatically decreases the danger and liability thus the permits required are dramatically less expensive than a passenger elevator permit.

Passenger Elevators only new facilities

It is nearly impossible to consider an installation of a passenger elevator after your building has been built.

AJAY lifts can be installed in new facilities and retrofited

An AJAY VRC Storage Lift can be easily retrofitted into a new or existing facility.

Passenger Elevator requires extensive structural support

Passenger elevators have expensive structural building requirements that must be supplied for stringent installation needs. Most passenger elevators require “load bearing” concrete structural supporting walls.

AJAY's lifts are self standing

AJAY lifts are free-standing “exclusive truss design” masts which require no structural requirements for support. There are no requirements to build “load bearing” concrete structural supporting walls. The installation into new or existing facilities is quick and easy.

Passenger Elevators require deep pits

Passenger elevators usually require a deep pit (3 to 10 feet deep) in order to install buffer springs and other equipment at the bottom of the shaftway.

AJAY Lifts

Our lifts only require a minimum of 5-1/2"

Passenger Elevator requires penthouse

Passenger elevators require the installation of a large raised “penthouse” on the roof for routine service or maintenance issues, adding to the cost of the lift.

AJAY's VRC's are simple

AJAY lifts are specifically designed in a way to fit inside any standard two or three story building with no major structural modifications to the building. In addition, our unique carrier cab designs can work with all existing roof heights.

Passenger Elevator's have cylinders deep in the ground

A deep hole must be excavated under the elevator car in order to install the cylinder. Some elevators must now also have an EPA approved sump pump recovery system, adding to the cost of the lift.

AJAY VRC Lift

With an AJAY VRC Lift there is no need to excavate a deep hole into the ground to install a caisson for the hydraulics. Our single acting cylinder is attatched to the mast to eliminate such inconveniences. In addition, our cylinder is easy to maintain and service in the field.

Passenger Elevators have large electrical panels

Passenger elevators require a minimum of 100 to 150 amp 3 phase electrical service.

AJAY VRC Lift

Our VRC lifts require only a standard 30 amp single or three phase electrical service and can operate without costly electrical upgrades needed from the local provider.
