Providing access – for people who need it the most

In numerous public and private buildings, many people find it difficult to use the stairs or conventional lifts. Theseinclude people with reduced mobility, wheelchair users, the visually impaired, people on crutches, the elderly, andparents with babies or young children.

In addition, modern-day legal regulations necessitate that public buildings offer equal access for disabled people.

Yet in many of these buildings a full-size lift is not practical. The building may only be 2 or 3 floors high, forexample; and the cost of a conventional lift may be difficult to justify. In many cases only half-floor access isrequired. Or there may be insufficient space to install a lift with a shaft and machine-room.

Swedish company Motala Hissar AB has developed its Motala 2000TM lift specifically to meet these requirements.

The Motala 2000TM is designed specifically for people with impaired mobility

■ It’s an easy-to-use lift that gives people with impaired mobility straightforward access to all levels in the building in a way that was never before possible.

■ The Motala 2000 is extremely reliable, offering building owners outstanding value for money thanks to its low lifecycle cost and low energy consumption. The end result is a higher rate of return on their investment.

■ It has been designed to be straight forward to install. What’s more, it will be installed by fully trained fitters.

■ Its variety of design options enables architects to smoothly integrate the lift into both new and existing buildings.

At the heart of the Motala 2000TM is the patented Guided Chain drive system.

It’s safe. As the chain is confined to a track along its whole length, it can never derail. Even if the chain shouldbreak, the drive system will still bring the platform to a totally safe position. (Actually, to date, a Guided Chainhas never broken!) It’s doubly safe. In normal operation, the Guided Chain pulls the car, but in the unlikely event of the chainbreaking, the car will be parked standing on the chain, and thus in a completely safe position.It’s reliable, due to the robust construction of the Guided Chain, which will last for at least 25 years with theminimum of maintenance.It’s economical in use, thanks to its low power consumption, low fuse requirements, and low maintenanceneeds. It’s environment-friendly. During installation the gearing mechanism is lifetime-greased. This means no messy oil leaks, no need to change the oil, and therefore no waste oil to dispose of.
