Secure, Reliable Access to Critical Elevator Shaft Components
Work Safe
- Safe, fast, and reliable access/egress for 1 person!
- Mechanically retained, and electrically interlocked
Home Safe
- Fall-Arrest provided before entering the hoistway
- No space constraints, no leap of faith, NO problem!
Our patent-pending retractable ladder system offers a simple, yet effective means of easing safety concerns when it comes to accessing elevator pits. This system has an enhanced level of safety that supersedes current regulatory compliances. Features include (but are not limited to):
- Allows for 3 points of contact to be maintained at all times from initial access to final egress
- Specially designed rope and pulley deployment/retraction system allows the ladder to meet the user at the landing, thereby eliminating the “leap of faith” factor with less than 9 lbs of applied force required by the user
- Mechanics and inspectors gain significantly faster access to pit – less than 2 minutes are required to safely have boots on the ground in entry or exit; in comparison to several hours for conventional fall-arrest devices to be set up
- Provisions made to allow wall-mounting in simplex installations, or trimmer beams in duplex/triplex/quad applications
- Product flexibility allows for integration into any existing or newly constructed hoistway, all profiles, and depths from 4 – 30+ feet
- Normally-open limit switch breaks the elevator safety string once the ladder is deployed and makes it once more when retracted, thus ensuring the elevator is unable to travel in either direction while the ladder is deployed
- Integrated wheel-brake assembly ensures no roll-out when weight is introduced onto the ladder
- Guide rail assembly at the ladder base keeps the wheels captive, thus guaranteeing a true linear operation with no risk of lateral wandering
- Fibreglass ladder rails eliminate risk of electrical conductivity
- 1AA rated ladder means each rung is capable of holding up to 350 pounds
- Non-invasive, timely installation
- Permanent decking stage(s) incorporated to accommodate deeper pits, including a secondary scaffold ladder to access the pit floor from the deck platform
- Minimal maintenance required
- NO impact to customer hall finishes as all tethering points are concealed inside the hoistway
system to be accessed from a safe distance with partial door opening
