FEATURES:

• A digital car position indicator makes it clear where the cabin is on every floor.

• The UP/DN indicator showed which way the cabin was going.

• Protect against voltage: You can set an upper and lower limit for each phase (220V) instead of the combined three-phase (440 V). This means the most safety.

• You can set the ampere level for each phase to ensure safety against over- and under-load.

• Phase Preventer saves electrical parts when either the single phase or the two phase power goes out.

• The Phase Sequence Corrector/Auto Phase Changer sorts out the phase polarity automatically when the phase in the source changes.

• MFFS (Magnet Floor and Final Sensing with the help of a REED sensor) is the newest version of the old limit switch technology. Reed sensors don't need to be touched to work, but their life is very long because they use detecting technology. Also, the correctness of the same can't be beat.

 A special M.C.B. was made for Rachna Elevator & Cranes to make sure there is ultimate safety in case the panel stops working.

 There is a buffer in the pit to protect the house from damage.

 • Doors that fold up.

• Widest opening after the bunch.

• There is an emergency stop button on every floor that can be used to stop the ship in an emergency.

• Mechanical and electrical door lock:

  • The door won't open while the lift is moving.
  • The door will only open on the floor where the cabin lands.
  • The lift won't move until all of the gates are shut.

• The Over Speed Governor stops the lift if the cabin falls free, which is done by using mechanical brakes or safety dogs. There is a counterweight with this.

With Counter Weight and Hydraulic Type, you get the following:

 

  • LIGHT
  • FAN
  • MUSIC ON TRAVEL
  • VOICE ANNOUNCEMENT

 

• ARD stands for "Auto Rescue Device." This device is used to free people who are stuck in lifts because of an emergency, a breakdown, insufficient power, or maintenance. After getting off at the nearest floor, it opens the door

These features are essential for safe operation and compliance with safety regulations.

Goods lifts, also known as freight elevators, are primarily designed for transporting goods and materials between building levels. They come in various types, including: • Hydraulic Goods Lifts: Ideal for low-rise buildings, these lifts use a hydraulic pump and cylinder system to move heavy loads efficiently. • Traction Goods Lifts: Powered by an electric motor that drives ropes or a sheave, these lifts are suitable for long-distance travel and can handle a variety of load sizes. In contrast, freight cum passenger elevators are designed to transport both goods and passengers safely, incorporating features to accommodate individuals alongside cargo.

the interiors of freight cum passenger elevators are designed to withstand the rigors of transporting goods while ensuring passenger comfort. • Durable Materials: Using robust materials for walls and flooring to resist damage from heavy or abrasive cargo. • Protective Features: Installing bumpers or guards to protect interior surfaces from impacts during loading and unloading. • Passenger Comfort: Ensuring adequate lighting, ventilation, and safety features to provide a comfortable environment for passengers. These design elements ensure the elevator remains functional and safe for both freight and passenger use over time.

Regulations concerning the use of freight elevators for passenger transport vary by jurisdiction but generally include: • Certification Requirements: Ensuring the elevator is certified for dual use, accommodating both freight and passengers. • Safety Features: To protect passengers, implement necessary safety measures, such as solid inner doors and emergency communication systems. • Signage: Indicating whether passenger use is permitted or restricted to authorised personnel only. It is essential to consult local building codes and safety standards to ensure compliance when using freight elevators for passenger transport.

Freight cum passenger elevators are designed to transport both goods and passengers, featuring higher load capacities and more durable interiors compared to standard passenger elevators. They often have different door configurations, such as vertically opening doors, to accommodate various types of cargo.

These elevators optimise space and reduce the need for separate lift systems by combining the functions of transporting goods and passengers. This integration leads to cost savings in construction and maintenance and improved logistical efficiency within the building.

Recent advancements include the integration of smart technologies for predictive maintenance, energy-efficient designs, and improved safety features. These innovations enhance the reliability, sustainability, and user experience of freight cum passenger elevators. These design elements ensure that the elevator operates efficiently and safely under varying load conditions.

A The construction of freight cum passenger elevators involves materials chosen for durability, safety, and functionality, including: • Steel: Used extensively for the elevators frame, doors, and cab walls due to its strength and durability. • Reinforced Glass: Incorporated in some designs to provide visibility and a modern aesthetic while maintaining safety. • Aluminium: Utilised for specific components to reduce weight without compromising structural integrity. • Rubber Flooring: Installed to provide a non-slip surface that can withstand heavy traffic and resist damage from transported goods. These materials are selected to ensure the elevator can endure transporting passengers and freight demands.

Regulatory standards significantly influence the design, installation, and operation of freight cum passenger elevators to ensure safety and compliance. Key regulatory considerations include: • Load Capacity Limits: Establishing maximum weight thresholds to prevent overloading and structural stress. • Safety Feature Requirements: Mandating the inclusion of specific safety mechanisms such as interlocks, alarms, and emergency lighting. • Inspection and Maintenance Protocols: Requiring regular inspections and maintenance to uphold safety standards and operational efficiency. • Accessibility Standards: Ensuring the elevator is accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities, in compliance with laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Adherence to these regulations is crucial for the safe and lawful operation of freight cum passenger elevators.

Freight cum passenger elevators often feature vertically opening doors that span the entire width of the cab, facilitating the easy loading and unloading of goods. In contrast, standard passenger elevators typically have horizontally opening doors designed primarily for passenger access.

A Freight elevators are categorised into three main classes: • General Freight Elevators: Designed to carry a wide range of goods. • Motor Vehicle Elevators: Specifically built to transport vehicles between floors. • Truck Loading Elevators: These are intended for the direct loading and unloading of trucks, facilitating the efficient movement of goods. Freight cum passenger elevators often fall under the general freight category but are equipped with additional safety features and controls to accommodate passengers alongside goods.

Yes, freight cum passenger elevators must follow basic safety rules like proper load limits, emergency systems, and regular checks. But the best way to ensure safe installation is to talk to experts who understand your space and usage needs. Need a lift that is 100% safe and custom-fit? Contact Rachna Elevator & Cranes today.

A Freight cum passenger elevators usually require slightly more maintenance than standard ones due to their heavy-duty use and dual function. However, with proper installation and quality parts, upkeep stays manageable and cost-effective. Want a low-maintenance, long-lasting solution? Rachna Elevator & Cranes can help.
