LIFT FEATURES
The lift can be configured to include a variety of options to suit your requirements, the following
section details the features that are available for this product, and gives a brief overview into their
function and operation.
Please note some of the options may not be installed on your lift.
4.1. Audible Alarm
– Fitted as standard on all Homelifts, this feature provides a means of raising
attention in the unlikely event of a breakdown and or when the user could be
trapped inside the lift car. The alarm is mounted in the car on the control console.
(See section 5 for more details)
4.2. Vision Panels
– The lift car has vision panels as
standard
in the sides and door. This gives an airy
feel to the lift and reduces the amount of light loss when using the lift.
4.3. Safety Devices
– There are several safety features that are included as
standard
on your
Homelift. These are as follows: -
4.3.1. Aperture Board Sensitive Surface
– If during raising or lowering of the lift, the
aperture board is impeded in any way, the lift will
STOP
immediately. This is achieved by the
built in safety systems which are integral to the design of the lift.
4.3.2. Car Sensitive Safety Edges
– The upper edges of the lift car (sides and top of door) are
protected by sensitive devices that
STOP
the lift immediately if any obstruction is detected
whilst the lift is travelling upwards.
4.3.3. Under Lift Platform Sensitive Surface
– The underside of the lift has a pressure
sensitive surface, which is designed to
STOP
the lift if an obstruction is detected. This
feature has been incorporated to protect small children in the event that they walk into the
lift area during descent. This platform will also stop the lift when it’s travelling upwards, if
the platform is pulled down.
All of the above safety devices are integral to the lift and make the Homelift intrinsically safe in any
given application.
4.4. Finishes –
The interior and exterior metalwork of your Homelift is coated in a hard wearing
powder coat which will provide protection against knocks and daily usage.
The colour of your lift is pearl grey and this is complemented by lavender coloured ABS panels which
are fitted to the rear and sides within the car.
The floor is coated with an anti-slip finish which will aid traction of wheel chairs and provide a
hardwearing surface. It can be easily cleaned with a stiff brush if required.
