Savaria Orion MRL LU/LA Elevator

Premium, machine roomless accessiblity elevator

The Savaria Orion LU/LA MRL elevator is built for heavier daily use installations. The geared traction counterweight drive can be installed as a true machine-roomless way saving space. No hydraulic fluid is use, reducing maintenance costs and complexity.

The Orion requires less overhead and pit depth compared to full-sized commercial elevators, keeping site preparation costs lower. Built for low-rise applications of 3-stories, the Orion MRL carries up to 1400 lb and up to 200 daily trips.
