Safety systems

A home lift shares your house with children, grandparents, and guests, so safety isn't one feature — it's layered through the mechanics, the electronics, and the everyday controls a household actually uses. Here's how that layering works, group by group.

Power-loss protection

Automatic emergency descent

If mains power drops while the cabin is between floors, it descends on gravity to the ground floor without any input needed, so the doors can always be opened.

Battery backup, roughly 30 minutes

A backup battery keeps the cabin lights, fan, alarm, and communication system live for about 30 minutes during an outage — enough time to descend and step out comfortably.

Braking & locking

Dynamic braking

The braking system continuously manages cabin speed during both ascent and descent, rather than relying on a single mechanical stop.

Multi-layer locking at every landing

Each landing has its own locking mechanism, so a door can only open when the cabin is correctly positioned at that level.

Doors & sensors

Landing-door interlocks

Every landing door has both an electronic and a mechanical interlock, so the cabin cannot move unless all doors are confirmed closed and locked.

Cabin-door sensor detection

Sensors detect whether the cabin door itself is fully closed before travel is allowed to begin.

Overload alert

If the cabin is loaded beyond its rated capacity, an alert sounds and the lift will not move until the load is corrected.

People-first features

Child-safety switch

A dedicated switch lets a parent or caregiver disable the lift so it can't be called or ridden unsupervised.

Emergency buttons, inside and outside

A rider inside the cabin and someone outside at a landing can both raise an alarm — help isn't only reachable from one side.

In-cabin two-way communication

Anyone in the cabin can speak with someone outside directly through the built-in communication system.

Manual rescue latch

In the rare event manual intervention is needed, a trained rescue technician can release the cabin door from outside using a dedicated latch.

Structure & certification

Durable polycarbonate glazing

The cylinder is built from durable polycarbonate, giving the panoramic view its structural strength.

TÜV NORD certified

Independently tested and certified by TÜV NORD.

ISO 14001:2015 & ISO 45001:2018

Manufactured under certified environmental management (ISO 14001:2015) and occupational health and safety (ISO 45001:2018) systems.

Frequently asked

What happens if there is a power cut while the lift is in use?

The cabin descends automatically to the ground floor using gravity, without needing mains power. A backup battery keeps the cabin lights, fan, alarm, and communication system running for about 30 minutes so you're never left in the dark or unable to call for help.

Can a child operate the lift on their own?

A child-safety switch lets you disable normal operation so the lift cannot be called or ridden without an adult enabling it first. This is a deliberate control you switch on, not something that limits everyday use for the rest of the household.

What if someone is inside the cabin during a fault?

Emergency buttons inside and outside the cabin connect to two-way communication, and landing-door interlocks prevent doors opening away from a stopped cabin. If manual intervention is ever needed, a rescue latch allows a trained technician to open the cabin safely from outside.

How is the lift certified for safety?

The lift is TÜV NORD certified, and manufactured under ISO 14001:2015 (environmental management) and ISO 45001:2018 (occupational health and safety) systems. These are independent, third-party certifications, not self-declared claims.
