Safety has always been one of the most important characteristics for KLEEMANN lifts. Based on this factor and wanting to ensure safety throughout any condition, pioneer KLEEMANN, first in Europe, developed an earthquake resistant lift. Any lift, hydraulic or traction, old or new can be turned into an earthquake resistant lift just by adding a few extra features. It is considered to be necessary not only for the public buildings but for every building, especially in countries which are known to have high seismicity. The earthquake resistant elevator exclusively by KLEEMANN is equipped with the technology to detect the earthquake before its actual manifestation and transfer passengers safely to the next floor.
Earthquake Resistant Lift Basic Characteristics
- Seismic sensor, which detects the primary (longitudinal) seismic waves up to 30 seconds before the actual development of the earthquake
- Upon activation of the seismic sensor, the controller is equipped with an automation that notifies the passengers via audible and visual signals and moves the car to the next floor to evacuate them safely.
- Special armoring in vital parts of the earthquake resistant lift, which ensures its operation during the actual manifestation of the earthquake. This way, the possibility of the passengers' entrapment is minimized, as well as potential damages to the lift such as: loss of guide rails alignment, cabin and/or counterweight derailment, etc.
- Certification by the Dutch notified body LiftInstituut on the basis of the Lifts Directive 95/16/EC, EN 81-1/2 and on the basis of the American standard ASME A17.1 which defines the requirements for an earthquake resistant lift
Complete Technical File, which contains: the Examination Type Certificate, Risk Analysis and Additional Control Process.
- Option for upgrading lifts by partial installation
- Smooth operation, credibility and high aesthetics by KLEEMANN, makes us one of the leading lift manufacturers in Europe
