Can I upgrade my lift to an Evacuation Lift?
Upgrading an existing passenger lift to an evacuation lift is possible.
Passenger Lift to Evacuation Lift Modernisation
You can modernise an existing passenger lift to function as an evacuation lift. Our team of lift specialists can increase the existing door openings and retrofit the latest requirements.
iKONIC Lifts identifies the most common needs for converting a passenger lift into an evacuation lift, which include upgrading communication systems, enhancing lift controls, and increasing door entrance sizes.
We offer a comprehensive evacuation lift modernisation package that transforms your passenger lift into an evacuation lift, along with providing essential training for the designated personnel during evacuation situations.
Platform Lifts Cannot Be Used as Evacuation Lifts
Platform lifts cannot be converted into evacuation lifts due to speed requirements. The minimum required speed for an evacuation lift is greater than 0.15 m/s, which exceeds the capabilities of platform lift models.
If an evacuation lift is needed in place of a platform lift, it will be necessary to replace the platform lift with a passenger lift to ensure compliance with evacuation lift speed regulations.
