New series of Industrial Elevators

Alimak, a developer and provider of lifts and associated equipment for the industrial and building sectors, is launching a new industrial elevator range, based on Alimak's rack and pinion technology.

The new Alimak SL-H is a passenger and freight elevator, suitable for tough operating environments including cement plants, power stations, ports, shipyards, steelworks, mines, manufacturing, storage and logistics facilities. According to the company, the new Alimak SL-H Industrial Elevator range has already been successfully launched in Asia. It is available in three sizes and offers payload capacities from 1,000kg to 3,000kg.

Built on the simple, but ingenious rack and pinion principle, the elevator has its drive mounted on top of the car. This technology enables the elevator car to climb up and down the mast at a controlled speed, without the need for a shaft or machine room.

Constructed from aluminium and hot-dipped galvanized steel, the robust design minimises downtime and operating costs, whilst withstanding extreme operational and environmental challenges, the company stated. Optimised for comfort, the drive unit provides smooth acceleration and deceleration, offering accurate levelling at landings irrespective of load.

Dual solution available

Alimak SL-H elevators are push-button operated from the car and landings, via a modern collective touch screen control system, which can be adjusted to your preferences based upon frequency of use, application and number of landings.

A dual solution is also available, featuring two independent elevator cars operating on a single guide mast column. This meant "reducing material costs, installation work and on-site space, whilst improving traffic movement and doubling productivity," according to the company press release.

"The Alimak SL-H range incorporates all the safety features that have made Alimak elevators a benchmark for the industrial elevator industry worldwide."
