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 trapped passenger risk)
- All lifts operate with their own batteries which allows the lift to continue to operate up and down in the event of a power failure
- All lifts have a separate battery supply that keeps the light on during power failure

Door Openings
(falling through an opening)
- All 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 beams (or 3) 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 friends (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 does get trapped, simple procedures can be followed by anybody at the property to rescue the person immediately, (making our 24 hour rescue system excessive? but its still included as standard)
