100~250kg Load Safety Standards & Compliance For Durable Lift Systems

Introduction

A durable elevator (or lift) is a critical component in modern buildings, designed to provide reliable vertical transportation for decades. Durability ensures safety, efficiency, and minimal maintenance, making it a key consideration for architects, engineers, and building owners. This article explores the features, materials, and technologies that contribute to the longevity of elevators.
1. Robust Construction & Materials

Durable elevators are built using high-quality materials to withstand heavy usage and environmental factors:

Cabins: Stainless steel or reinforced aluminum for corrosion resistance.

Guide Rails: Hardened steel to ensure smooth movement and reduce wear.

Hoisting Systems: High-tensile steel cables or flat belts (in modern machines) for long-lasting traction.

Doors: Durable laminates or metal alloys to endure frequent opening/closing cycles.

2. Advanced Drive Systems

The choice of drive technology significantly impacts durability:

Geared vs. Gearless Traction: Gearless systems (used in high-rises) have fewer moving parts, reducing wear.

Hydraulic Lifts: Ideal for low-rise buildings, with robust piston systems for heavy loads.

Regenerative Drives: Recover energy during descent, reducing motor strain and extending lifespan.

3. Smart Maintenance & Monitoring

Modern durable elevators integrate IoT and AI for predictive maintenance:

Sensors: Monitor vibrations, temperature, and alignment to detect early wear.

Remote Diagnostics: Allows technicians to address issues before failures occur.

Lubrication Systems: Automated greasing reduces friction on rails and rollers.

4. Environmental Resilience

Elevators must adapt to different climates:

Humidity & Salt Air (Coastal Areas): Anti-corrosion coatings and sealed components.

Extreme Temperatures: Thermal-resistant materials for outdoor or industrial lifts.

5. Compliance & Safety Standards

Durable elevators adhere to strict regulations (e.g., EN 81, ASME A17.1), ensuring:

Overload Protection: Prevents mechanical stress.

Fire-Resistant Design: Ensures operation during emergencies.

Earthquake Resistance: Critical in seismic zones.

6. Case Study: High-Traffic Applications

In commercial hubs (e.g., airports, hospitals), durable elevators feature:

Double-Deck Cabins: Maximize capacity without increasing trips.

Traffic Management AI: Optimizes dispatch to reduce idle time and wear.

FAQ
1. Are the elevator wire ropes durable?
The elevator wire rope has special provisions and requirements. Configuration is not only for wire rope and rated load, but also considered the size of the traction, as a result, the tensile strength of wire rope is greater than the weight of the lift. The safety factor is equipped with more than four wire rope. So it won’t break at the same time.
2. Is it dangerous for power failure suddenly during the elevator running?
If it occurs, the elevator will automatically stop due to the electrical and mechanical safety device. In case of power failure,elevator brakes will automatically taken. In addition, the power supply departments such as planned outage, prior notice are also operating.
3. Will us be hurt when it closed suddenly?
In the closing process, if people touch the hall door, the door of elevator will automatically restart without any danger. With anti clamping switch, once the gate touched, this switching action make the elevator unable to be closed and even reopened. In addition, closing force is also available here.
4. How the elevator running?
Elevators are operated with a counterweight wire rope through the (tractor) traction drive, making ups and downs on the guide rail.
5. Is the escalator installation complicated?
We believe the functions of an escalator are not necessarily proportional to the operation complexity. Therefore, escalators designed by us apply an integrated structure, so that the equipment is more precise and more efficient and allows easier and more convenient commissioning.
6. Do you have any cerifications?
Yes, we do with ISO9001 / CCC / CE Certificates for u.
