Lift shaft gate

Lift shaft gate at construction site

The Lift Shaft Gate is the safe and versatile alternative to other safeguards for lift shafts in civil engineering. On the one hand, this temporary shaft door protects the construction site personnel from accidents and functions as a fall protection in this respect. On the other hand, it ensures easy access to carry out work inside the shaft. The Lift Shaft Gate can be installed from the outside as well as from the inside, with the help of the fixing brackets and suspension tubes. The upper door can be opened separately, e.g. to allow tools to be handed in.

The built-in triangular lock prevents uninvited access to the shaft, yet the intelligent design allows the entire door to be opened from the inside without a key to ensure smooth escape in case of fire or danger. The door, which weighs less than 40 kg, can easily be adapted to the structural conditions for wider shaft openings. For this purpose, the panels are used to fill the desired width. Panels and door can be set up in various combinations to customize according to specific needs. Gap covers for attachment to the upper end of the Lift Shaft Gate complete the range.

Shaft openings

Before the elevator is installed in the shaft the opening should be protected against falls with collective fall protection. It is also important to protect the elevator installer and other professionals working in the shaft against falling objects. Shaft openings can quickly and easily be secured using Wall bracket and Barrier. The solution works as a gate as well. With this attachment there is no need for posts and customary attachment on the slab. This gives great advantage as repair of edge protection attachments is not required on the slab.

Openings in slabs and shafts are sometimes changed and must be secured against falls during the construction process. Floor openings should be considered as an open slab edge and be secured with collective fall protection. For this you can use an attachment such as Socket base or Vertical bracket, and Post 1,3 m and Barriers. Barrier bracket 360 should be mounted in the corners as an attachment for Barriers in all directions.
