Column lifter in Staircase eye
We recently had a hydraulic column lift including shaft frame and monitored doors installed at the customer's premises.
We recently had a hydraulic column lift including shaft frame and monitored doors installed at the customer's premises. The challenge lay in the fact that the column lift had to be mounted in a very narrow stairwell opening. Despite these difficult conditions, we managed to make optimal use of the space and create a custom design that greatly satisfied the customer.
For us as a company, it was important to design the column lift, including the shaft structure and monitored doors, to meet our customer's specific requirements. The limited space and the stairwell opening presented a particular challenge, which we gladly accepted. We are proud that we were able to convince the customer with our custom design.
Due to the limited space, installing the hydraulic column lift and the shaft frame was a challenge, but we successfully overcame it. We worked with precision and care to ensure a safe and reliable installation. The client was very impressed with our professionalism and the dedication we invested in the installation.
The custom design allowed us to optimize space utilization and thus create maximum room for the client. The freight elevator in this confined space is an important component of the building, and the client was very satisfied with our work. The use of monitored doors further enhanced the safety of the hydraulic column lift.
Our goal was to offer the customer a solution that met their requirements while optimizing space utilization. We achieved this through our custom design and meticulous installation. The hydraulic column lift with shaft frame and monitored doors is a significant investment that will provide the customer with considerable benefits in the future.
We are proud that we were able to satisfy our clients with our work. We will continue to do our best to offer our clients the best solutions. Our experience and dedication make us a reliable partner for anyone seeking customized solutions. We look forward to supporting clients with their projects in the future.
Details of the small column jack
Lower stop of the hydraulic column jack
As with all lifting devices between two floors, the stops must be secured with monitored doors.
At the lower stop, we installed a revolving door enclosed with sheet steel. This door is equipped with a positive contact (yellow and red part in the picture). This contact ensures that the door can only be opened when the stage is at the lower stop.
Likewise, the platform can only be lifted when this contact, i.e. the door, is properly closed.
The control system we supply monitors these contacts.
Securing the upper stop of the load lifter
As at the lower stop, we have also installed a monitored door at the top.
This door was designed as a double-leaf gate because there was more space available here than in the basement. The customer opens the door and places their goods on the platform. Then both door leaves must be closed so that the lifting mechanism can be lowered.
Due to limited space, we installed the control unit at the upper stop, directly next to the shaft. We had to run the cables along the shaft, which wasn't very aesthetically pleasing, as there was no more room for conduit.
Shaft frame or enclosure over the entire lifting range
For lifting systems, especially in areas accessible from the outside, it is particularly important to protect the entire lifting area.
There must be no point where an arm or hand can reach inside. Ideally, the customer would construct a concrete shaft; however, due to the limited space available, we had to resort to the narrower steel shaft in this case.
Whether the shaft is made of smooth sheet steel, trapezoidal sheet steel, or with grates is irrelevant. This is solely a matter of the customer's aesthetic preferences.
In some projects, our customers built very attractive wooden shafts, and we were only allowed to supply the lifting system.
If you are interested in the shaft design, just give us a call, we will be happy to advise you.
