Limited Mobility Lifts > Supermec > Safety & Security

We consider safety first, because it is paramount. Globally, lifts transport more people further each day than the world's biggest airlines, and in near total safety. Compared to any other form of transport, lifts are the safest form of travel. Lift Shop is proud of its perfect safety record and ensures all products have the latest safety features and technologies.

Against Falls

Protection makes it impossible
  • Steel ropes with 40-ton breaking strain
  • Over-speed sensing safety gear that automatically and mechanically engages in the event of a descent that is a little too quick
  • Burst valve settings on hydraulics that ensure falls are impossible

Against Power Failure

Protection removes the risk of trapped passengers
  • All lifts operate with their own batteries which allows them to continue to operate in the event of a power failure
  • All lifts have a separate battery supply that keeps the cabin lit during power failure
  

Door Openings

Falling through an opening
  • All Lift Shop lifts have full height light ray protection to the car door openings, the only form of safety protection that permits total protection with 180 beams
    Lift Shop will never offer lifts with single beam (or three beam) protection due to the limb trapping risk whilst the lift is in motion
  • All lifts have electrical locks that make it impossible for the lift to travel away from the landing when the landing door is not properly closed
  • All lifts have mechanical locks that make it impossible for the lift landing door to open when the lift is not there

Other Safety devices


  • A battery driven siren to call for help if needed
  • A telephone independently powered to phone for help (including our 24 hour service department)
  • Routine checking of the system to WorkCover, WorkSafe and Industry standards to ensure ongoing safe operations
  • Multiple rescue systems are standard. In the unlikely event that someone becomes trapped, simple procedures can be followed by anybody at the property to rescue the person immediately
