Elevator design

The enhanced efficiency delivered by the ALIMAK SE TM & SE-Ex TM goods and passenger elevator series stems in part from the unique modular design of the elevator cars that provides a large number of different car sizes with floor spaces up to 11.9 m (128 sq. feet). Made of extruded anodized saltwater-proof aluminum and hot dipped galvanized steel, the Alimak SE TM elevator car is built to last in the most extreme environments. The elevator has been designed with two mast towers to carry the large elevator car and a sync axis, ensuring that the car always travels straight. Alimak SE TM elevator series are push button operated from car and landings and has a modern collective control system with internal fault diagnostics.

Compact, powerful drive units

Two compact and powerful drive units are located on top of the car itself, which means more useable space as there is no need for a separate machine room. Each drive comprises of four or six electric drive motors with a choice of direct-on-line control (DOL) or frequency control (FC). The FC drive not only ensures smooth acceleration and deceleration, but also reduces wear and tear on elevator components such as brakes.

Safety

The SE TM goods and passenger elevator series incorporates all the safety features that have made Alimak elevators a benchmark for the elevator industry worldwide. The unique progressive Alimak safety device comes into operation should the elevator exceed the rated speed, bringing the car to a smooth stop. The elevator is also fitted with an overload sensing device and a centrifugal brake that allows passengers to be lowered to the landing below in the event of a power failure.

Forklift truck loading

The optional car to landing lock device is used when forklift loading is demanded. The elevator has been designed in such a way that all of the forklifts in the world normally used for this kind of application fit in the car enabling easy transport of forklifts between landing levels. The load carrying structure is enhanced by the stiff car floor, which is welded of formed steel sheeting for additional strength.
