Elevator in the internal shaft frame

A self-supporting, modular shaft scaffold is the best choice, especially for storage platforms. The open, accessible sides of the shaft are enclosed with galvanized, easy-to-install steel panels in a cassette design.

Elevator in the shaft enclosure (inside the building):

Are Elevators in a separate support structure (the self-supporting shaft frame) and are used wherever a masonry or concrete shaft is not desired, or where fire safety is not a concern.

The reasons for this are:

Few interfaces with the building structure (a unit independent of its surroundings)
Lower total weight
No changes to the building structure (e.g., in rental agreements)
Flexible Placement in the Event of Operational Changes
Lower overall costs for a freestanding shaft
Space-saving shaft scaffolding

Designed as a modular, bolted structural steel frame with in-house structural analysis for installation in enclosed buildings. It consists of four omega-shaped corner posts, which are connected by folded longitudinal and transverse crossbars to form a stable, self-supporting shaft. The drive unit is mounted on a drive bracket in the shaft head. The car is guided by rigid elevator rails, which are secured to the folded longitudinal crossbars. The shaft frame is self-supporting and is supplied with horizontal fixings at the landing points.

Trim

The shaft formwork is typically clad with modular sheet-steel panels that are installed from the inside without visible screws. The standard finish is an aluminum-zinc look. Alternatively, we also offer external shaft frames based on a structural steel frame for installation in front of or attached to a building.
