A glass elevator is an attractive option for homes and commercial spaces. Visilift glass elevators use solid state electronics and variable frequency technology to offer a ride which is both comfortable and quick. These elevators do not need a separate machine room and can be installed without major modifications in existing homes. They also seamlessly integrate into new construction projects.

Made of clear acrylic, the unit of the glass elevator is durable, lightweight and strong. The clear panel construction prevents it from overwhelming a room. Visilift elevators can be configured with a maximum of 6 stops. They support up to 744 pounds and can accommodate a person in a wheelchair. They can be installed in the middle floors of a multi-floor building without disturbing either structure below or above the floors served.

Safety Features

>> Two independent cables that lift and lower the car

>> Four emergency brakes, each of which has the individual capacity to stop the car if one cable were to fail

>> Multiple electronic sensors that ensure all doors are closed prior to operation and many other safety switches

>> Automatic battery lowering that allows the car to descend to a lower level in the event of a power outage

Three features are responsible for the elevator’s exceptionally smooth performance – a set of 24 guide shoes in which the cab runs on, the electric winding drum controlled by a variable frequency drive, and continuous cab location feedback from a high accuracy digital rotary encoder.
