Elevator Modernization

Elevators are investments and they are not appliances that have a short life. Elevators are investments that are meant to serve a longer period of life, even more than an automobile. Home Elevators especially have a greater impact in the real estate market now as provisions of such increase the value of the real estate. Thus, the longevity of elevators is purely based on the modernistic technologies embedded within the system of the elevators.

We at ThyssenKrupp – Elite Elevators have found that 1 in 4 elevator requirements that we cater to are replacements. The very reason why is that most companies in India embrace primitive technologies and the parts used are of very low quality. Extreme discomfort while traversing, noise issues, uneven landing, turbulence, and constant breakdowns are the common complaints of these local elevators. ThyssenKrupp overcomes these with advanced German Engineering, European Safety Standards and unique patented technologies.

Elevators require civil modifications in such a way that the entire lift is accommodated within the structure. Conventional home elevators require constant maintenance because of these civil modifications. Generic civil modifications are Pit, Machine Room, and Headroom. With developments in technology, the space requirements of these civil modifications should be less. This would in turn increase the value of the Lift and also encourage the remodeling of the entire house or civil structure around the Lift. This has been possible with ThyssenKrupp’s Engineering and it is one of the very few companies to embrace it.

Maintenance is another feature that is looked into when investing in an elevator. The number of moving parts that are in the lift should be reduced by integrating the latest trends. One such part is the Guide Rail. The guide rail is a mechanical structure that moves the cabin of the lift along the shaft. This Guide Rail is constantly maintained with fluids that in turn lead to a lot of maintenance situations. Solutions should be similar to ThyssenKrupp’s Greaseless Rails Technology (GLR) which does not require any sort of fluids for the cabin to move across the shaft. Similarly, the travel in a lift, even though being short, should be delivering a smooth ride unlike conventional elevators and local elevators. ThyssenKrupp Home Elevators provide EGSSS (Extra Gentle Smooth Start Stop) which provides zero jerk during the travel. Emergency features should be multifold such as having backups to backups. While Commercial Elevators and Local Manufacturers are working on basic amenities, ThyssenKrupp home elevators have developed Advanced Error Notification Systems (AENS) and Magnetic Button Controls to make sure the lift’s error log and response to that are catered in the most efficient ways possible.

Most importantly, elevators should comply to the highest standards of safety so that investments that have a lifetime of 40 – 50 years are invested upon with utmost trust. Unfortunately, there are no standards for Home Elevators in India but, ThyssenKrupp Home Elevators are certified by TUV, Europe’s Most prestigious third-party safety certification organization, European Machine Directive Standards and most importantly it is SIL -3 certified. So, to have a perspective, SIL-4 is provided for nuclear power plants and

Bullet Trains. These modernizations are much recommended to look into before investing in a home Elevator.

How Safe are Home Elevators?

How Safe is Home Elevators?

   It’s sad but also true that India ranks #2 in Elevator accidents in the world. This is mainly due to the installation of the wrong appliance and not keeping up with any set of standards for safety. It is shocking to know that accidents in 2018 have increased by a mind-boggling 26.8%. It is high time that we should look to bring change in this. “You must be the Change if you wish to see the Change – Mahatma Gandhi”

Let us know our rights, let’s stop being a Victim & get information on what you buy.      

                        

Also, It’s quite unfortunate to say that in INDIA there are not set standards for Home Elevators. This allows anyone to become an elevator manufacturer. Elevator manufacturing in INDIA is becoming like a cottage industry where anyone can install a moving platform and call those home elevators. Often Local manufacturers exploit consumers showing ISO certification and claiming it to be safe, however, it’s important that you should understand ISO certification is not for the product, it’s to certify that the company is organized. When you buy a helmet, you will look for ISI certification not ISO. But even ISI is not enough for countries like India.

  Home Elevators should comply with Third Party safety standards to ensure the utmost safety. ThyssenKrupp home elevators comply with the European standards of safety i.e. MD 2006 42 EC, EN 81-41 and most importantly certified by TUV post-installation.

It is suggested that the home elevator can even be of Gearless and Hydraulic technology. It should be no pit, no headroom with machine less room and trap door should be placed no AC current should pass in the shaft.

 In Europe if someone installs a commercial lift at home, that supplier and the customer both are subject to punishment as per law.

If you ask even some of these branded lift companies to explain difference between “Commercial and Residential lift”, you will be surprised as they’ll have nothing to say.

Safety is a major concern at home, especially with mobility equipment that is a practical solution for the elderly and the physically disabled. Injuries from accessibility equipment are often not limited to commercial lifts The more possible risk nowadays is getting stuck in a home elevator. The impact of this problem can be minimized by associating with the right elevator. To avoid accidents involving home elevators, it is crucial to be aware about the safety features that are indispensable in residential elevators and to purchase equipment that has these vital features. 

With much advancement in technology, ThyssenKrupp Home Elevators provide Affordable home lifts with advanced safety features suiting various indoor and outdoor transportation needs. These features include:

•        SSS (Soft Start and Stop)

•        TUV Compliance

•        SIL-3 - Seismic Stability Structure

•        ENS (Error Notifications System)

To summarise, this is a checklist to know whether your home elevator is safe or not.

•        All home elevators should run on a single-phase power supply.

•        Pit size should not be more than 100-150mm and no headroom space is required.

•        There should not be any A/c current running through the shaft.

•        No safety features should be neglected

•        It should comply with Machine Directive 2006 42 EC & EN 81 – 41
