Firefighter lifts as critical safety infrastructure

Unlike standard passenger elevators that park during an emergency, firefighter lifts remain operational under direct fire service command to move personnel and equipment swiftly to tactical staging floors.

Regulatory compliance
Full alignment with EN 81-72 safety codes, dual-entry firefighting lobbies, and certified fire-rated landing doors.
Dedicated control logic
Phase 1 recall returns the car to designated egress level; Phase 2 transfers full car operation exclusively to emergency personnel.
BMS & alarm integration
Direct dry-contact links to central fire alarm systems, smoke exhaust dampers, and building management networks.
Secondary power resilience
Seamless automatic changeover to emergency generator circuits within standard evacuation transfer timeframes.
Architect & MEP NoticeDesign-Stage Requirement

Shaft water drainage, secondary emergency feeder lines, lobby pressurization, and hatch access clearances must be incorporated into structural and MEP drawings prior to concrete pouring.

Engineered hardware

Specialized features built for demanding installations

Every component is specified to withstand continuous heavy traffic, harsh environmental factors, and unexpected power outages.

Stainless steel cabin

Heavy-gauge brushed stainless steel walls, doors, and reinforced flooring built to resist heavy wear and corrosion.

Protected controls

Key-switch access lockouts, sealed call buttons, and tamper-resistant operating panels for secure facility management.

Redundant systems

Dual-circuit safety braking, multi-rope distribution, and independent overspeed governors for continuous safe travel.

Emergency power integration

Automatic rescue devices that direct the cabin to the nearest floor and open doors smoothly during city grid power cuts.
