Nowadays, the constructions are made in multi-storey sizes. Facade elevators are now used in all constructions in order to prevent labor, time and cost losses during the construction works while material is being transported between the floors while materials coming from outside are taken to the floors. Beyond the installation costs that have become increasingly economical, facade elevators increase operating performance and reduce construction costs thanks to the quick installation and practical use. Pursuant to the Regulation on Health and Safety Conditions in the Use of Work Equipment dated 6331 and numbered 25.04.2013, issued in accordance with the Occupational Health and Safety Law No. 28628; Exterior elevators should be inspected by authorized persons at least once a year and a document indicating that they work safely must be issued. Performance losses are mostly due to the vertical mobility between the floors if necessary and outside the building during the day. The facade elevators increase the working performance and reduce the construction costs with their economical price, short installation and practical usage.
Nowadays you have the opportunity to find different models in exterior elevators. You can provide different designs or you can find economical products. As you can find steel and functional cabins, you can reach the desired height from outside the building without using rope. In addition, precautions have been taken against any situation that may endanger employees such as gear stripping or gear breakage in products. Personnel safety is ensured thanks to the high-safety brake system in the products and automatically activated in case of danger. It is available in designs that can be used in wells outside the building. Thanks to the large internal volume of these products, you have the opportunity to transport construction materials and personnel of different sizes and weights. You can carry loads and personnel transportation with these products which are fast, and you can carry your heavy loads to very high places with wide cabin designs in exterior elevators models.
Exterior Elevator / Exterior Platform Periodic Control Issues
Depending on the construction features, steel and functional cabins are used in facade elevators which are produced in many different types and the desired height is reached from outside the building without using rope. Moreover, they are produced as high security against the risk of gear skipping or gear breakage in order not to endanger the lives of employees during their use. Many of them have brake systems that automatically activate in case of danger. The widths of the cabins are capable of transporting construction materials and elements of different lengths and weights. The periodic checks of the front elevators, which carry loads and personnel to very high constructions and carry heavy loads and human beings as a result, are a legal obligation.
The Elevator Maintenance and Operation Regulation issued by the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Regulation on Health and Safety Conditions in the Use of Work Equipment issued by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, the conditions and the criteria for the use, maintenance and periodic checks of all elevators in terms of human health and property safety; According to these legal regulations, regular inspections of the façade lifts must be carried out by authorized persons in the fields of machinery and electricity. If the standards are not shown for a further period, the elevators must be inspected at least once a year.
Our company performs the periodic controls and inspections of the elevators within the scope of periodic controls of lifting and transmitting machines, in compliance with the legal regulations in force. A few standards considered during these studies are:
- TS EN 81-3 + A1 Lifts - Safety regulations for construction and assembly - Part 3: Electrical and hydraulic service lifts
- TS EN 13015 + A1 Maintenance of lifts and escalators - Rules for maintenance instructions
- TS EN 60204-32 Safety in machinery - Electrical devices in machinery - Part 32: Requirements for hoisting machines
