When considering a residential elevator, one of the first questions asked is about
security. When envisioning a home elevator, what typically comes to mind is the image of traditional
elevators, cables, pistons, grease, maintenance, etc…
First note that our vacuum elevators are CE
marked and meet the legal requirements and technical security of the Member States of the European
Union.
Our Residential elevators have PVE car locks, which are responsible for anchoring the
cabin on each level. They are composed of two steel levers located on the top of the cab.
During
ascent they remain closed, and once the cab reaches the desired landing sensor, the car lock engages and
firmly anchors in the columns of the lift structure. For this reason, our residential elevator always
stops at the exact level, to facilitate entry and exit of passengers, especially those with mobility
problems.
The cab will remain in that position until the next time it is prompted. One of the
unique aspects of our home lifts is that before descending, the cabin goes up a few inches in order to
close then reléase the car latches, then allowing the car to freely descend.
Using our normal
operation to our benefit, in the event of a power failure, our lifts always descend to the ground floor
at a safety speed, at which point the passenger is always able to get out because the doors are operated
by mechanical door locks.
Our air driven residential elevators have mechanical safety brakes which come into
action only if an extreme circumstance arises as a result of the detection of loss of vacuum over the
top seal.
These mechanical safety brakes are activated within the first 5 cm of free fall if
vacuum loss is detected, and the cabin immediately anchors to the columns of the structure at that
point.
If vacuum loss and safety brake engagement is to occur, there are a few simple methods of
rescue, as in a traditional elevator.
With all of these security features, our elevator has been
called “the world’s safest residential elevator.“
