Class A Evacuation Lift
BS EN 81-76, BS EN 81-70

Ikonic lifts offer three Class A Evacuation Lifts

- Driver Assisted Evacuation Lift
- Automatic and Driver Assisted Evacuation Lift
An Class A Evacuation Lift is suitable if
- The lift won’t be transporting stretchers, etc
- Remote operations not required
- Firefighter lift EN 81-76 is not required (travel under 18 meters)
- Only one evacuation exit landing (EEL), is required in the evacuation strategy.
