Safety and reliability have been key priorities throughout the entire process of developing our platform lifts. Therefore, we have developed the Aritco SmartSafety system, to anticipate and prevent all hazardous situations that can occur in the home. The SmartSafety system includes smart doors that recognize if something is in the way and if so, automatically open again. Small children may play inside and outside of the lift, and smart doors and safety sensors will prevent their fingers from being trapped and injured. It is also possible to lock the elevator, preventing children or anyone else from using it.
The lift’s drive system is a thoroughly tested and reliable system with a screw that drives the lift up and down. We have also incorporated a function that ensures the lift will run on batteries in the event of a power failure, so you can always lower the lift to the nearest floor and get out. The lift is also equipped with a function, which prevents the batteries from discharging when the power in the house is off. All Aritco home lifts have an alarm button connected to an autodialer, which you can use to make emergency calls. You are always able to call one of the pre-programmed numbers from the lift.
Smart doors
The integrated door openers feature collision intelligence and can sense if an obstacle is in the way. If a door hits something while in motion, the doors automatically reverse. The door then tries to complete the motion again, passing slowly at the location where it previously encountered the obstruction. This is to ensure that the object that was previously in the way has been removed and to reduce the force. The doors can also be locked if required.
Safety edges
Safety edges are located around the carrier floor and at the top. The safety edges ensure that an object can’t become trapped between the moving carrier and the walls (shaft). If something should come between the carrier and the walls (shaft), the lift will stop.
Fall-proof mechanism
Aritco’s mechanism for driving the lift up and down uses a well-proven and reliable screw-and-nut drive system. This means that the lift will not fall down if any fault should occur. The drive system also makes the lift move quietly and smoothly with a soft start and stop. The system also features dual safety brakes and a battery-driven lowering system, so you are always able to get out of the lift, even in the event of a power failure.
smart Battery guard
If the lift is used during a power failure and stops between two floors, a spare battery is activated. The spare battery will ensure that the lift immediately goes to the nearest floor. The spare battery also has a function that keeps it from running down, even if the power is disconnected.
Emergency operation
Electrical emergency operation is included for all lifts. In the event of an emergency, it is possible to lower the lift to the nearest landing (from the service panel outside the lift). The emergency operation speed is 0.8 m/min.
Emergency call
If an accident occurs, you can make an emergency call directly from the lift with the alarm button, which is connected to a pre-programmed telephone number.
Key – for locking the lift
It is possible to lock the control panel to prevent the lift from being used. A key symbol indicates whether or not the lift is locked. The lift can still be called from another floor when locked from a certain floor.
European standards and safety
Our platform lifts meet Europe’s strictest safety requirements. They are also CE-certified, which means that it is a safe product according to EU rules.
