UNILIFT MAN-RIDING TRACTION HOIST

The UNILIFT is a wire rope traction hoist, ROBUST, SAFE and RELIABLE,  designed for lifting and lowering people and material at unlimited lifting height.  

He is designed and manufactured according to EN1808:2015 and certified by the independent notified body SGS.

With a capacities range going from 500kg up to 2000kg and lifting speeds going from 9m/min to 18 m/min it offers an unparallel versatility in access and lifting applications.

Our hoist has been used in the construction and industry, on elevator installation, suspended platforms, windmill applications and material lifting.

UNILIFT - The Hoist for suspended platform applications

UNILIFT - The Hoist for suspended platform applications

According to the norm, EN1808:2015 hoisting systems in suspended platforms need to comply with a set of different features. When operating at heights safety it’s our primary concern. Because of this, the UNILIFT hoist is designed with in-body safety systems for operation and fall-protection such as:

  • An overload detector sensor, in order to not lift more that than the maximum capacity
  • A manual lowering mechanism, in order to allow a manual and safe descent of the platform in the case of power failure.
  • Dual brakes (motor electromechanical brake and centrifugal brake used as back-up)
  • Safety triggers (Overspeed safety trigger, or a wire rope slack wire rope detector) couple with the hoist in an independent wire rope, in order to avoid any free-fall in any event that could occur.

In addition to the safety the UNILIFT hoist as:

  • a degree of protection IP55, so he is ready to work in difficult and hazardous environments and can run at temperatures between -20°C to 55 °C.
  • a solid and lightweight housing made of die-cast aluminium.
  • A phase control system and thermal overload protection.

The UNILIFT hoist can be proposed with pendant control, or supplied in a complete platform set ready to use.

UNILIFT - Hoist for elevator installation process

The UNILIFT it's designed for a multitude of man-riding and material-lifting applications.

Elevator installation methods that focus on safety and efficiency use a wire rope traction hoist, to lift their platform or cabin to install all the different elements of the elevator cage.

The UNILIFT hoist equipped with a set of accessories can be adapted to any elevator installation process and help elevator companies to work SMARTER, FASTER, and SAFER at a smaller COST.

Our team of engineers will work alongside you to design the installation system which best matches your process and methods of installation.

Accessories for elevators applications hoists:

  • Pulleys (2T or 4T), in order to work with double capacity
  • Adapters, in order to be able to connect the hoist to an anchors point in the ceiling or in the platform.
  • Overspeed fall-arrest devices, in order to double the security in the event of failure.
  • Limit switch, in order to automatically stop the movement of the hoist.  
  • Rope guide spring, in order to deviate the cable when used fixed on the ceiling.
  • Running hours counter, in order to know when is the next maintenance.

Finally, the UNILIFT hoist is easy to maintain and we can for free train your personnel to check, repair and test.

UNILIFT -  Hoist for elevator installation process

HOIST MAIN FEATURES

With “α” cable-guiding system the UNILIFT hoists have a single drive pulley.
The grip of the wire rope on the pulley obtained by a set of rollers, operated by a pressure spring unit.

Each hoist used for passenger complies with the requirements of the Machine Directive and the EN1808.
All the required safety devices and securities have been integrated as a standard.

Built-in Overload Mechanism
Built-in Overload Mechanism

When the load acting on hoist reaches or exceed the load limit, the hoist will stop rising or only descend.

Safety Lowering Mechanism
Safety Lowering Mechanism

In the event of a power failure, the electrical-mechanical brake can be released manually in order to ensure safe and controlled lowering of the load.

The hoist can be suspended from a central suspension point by means of a load pin or attached to the corners of the housing with a hook, screw or pins.

ELEVATOR INSTALLATION METHODS

Benefits of scaffold-less methods of elevator installation:

  • Safe and secure working environment for installation staff
  • Improved available working space in the pit and shaft
  • High level of independence from the building contractors progress
  • Early commencement of lift installation before shaft construction is complete
  • Savings of lift installation time up to 30%
  • Unlimited operating height (with scaffolding methods height increases cost and operation constraints). 
  • The concept can also be employed while removing existing lifts from buildings under renovated and in the installation of replacements

Pulleys
Pulleys

Our pulleys have a capacity from 2t up to 4t and meet the requirements of the EN1808 standard regarding man lifting.
They can have a steel cover for finger protection and are equipped with a swivel hook and a rotation limiter device. 
They are easy to install even at high thanks to 2 installations screws

Hoist anchor points
Hoist anchor points

We have a wide variety of anchor points for our hoist. For example, adapter with eye hook, adapter with 2 holes to install safety rope, adapter with self-locking hook, adapter with shackle... We can also create one to suit your specific installation method. 

Pendant and remote control stations

According to your lifting method or requirements, we add the length of the electrical cable to a pendant control or propose a remote option.

Cable & Reelers

We can supply wire rope in the adjusted length you need. The cable can be supplied on a wooded or steel reeler.

SECONDARY FALL ARRESTER DEVICES

In accordance with the requirements of the EN1808:2015, each hoist used for manriding, must be combined with a safety system on the secondary safety wire rope.

A safety fall arrester is a separate mechanical unit that can automatically lock the safety wire rope when the working (Loaded) wire rope is broken or the suspended platform tilts to its limits and/or falls quickly.

The specific safety lock is chosen according to the working conditions of the platform and the working load of the hoist.

According to the triggering mode of the safety locks, they are divided into two categories:

  • Centrifugal speed-limiting fall-arresters ( works by overspeed detection)
  • Swing arm anti-tilting fall-arresters (works by cable slack detection) 
Overspeed wire rope safety device (OSL)
Overspeed wire rope safety device (OSL)

The overspeed safety device is automatically activated when the lowering speed on the cable exceeds 30m/min (0.5m/s).​

The special integrated clamping jaw mechanism made of special hardened steel, blocks the suspended load immediately on the wire rope.

Anti-tilting wire rope safety device (LSF)
Anti-tilting wire rope safety device (LSF)

The anti-tilting fall arrester is automatically tripped when the angle of the rope or the platform exceeds a certain angle.​

The integrated clamping jaw mechanism holds the rope and immediately stops the movement of the system.
