As an example, we will explain KIT A2, which offers solutions for residential buildings, whether new construction or renovation , allowing a hydraulic elevator to be installed where it is not possible to have a machine room or a cabinet for the location of the machinery outside the shaft.
These types of installations must comply with the UNE-EN 81-2:2001/A2 standard: “The EN 81-2:1998 standard requires special rooms for machinery and pulleys. Modern technology shows that machines and associated parts can be located in the shaft, in the cabin, or counterweight or in the cabinet. To ensure safety in normal operation, maintenance and inspection provisions are necessary that are not yet described in this standard.
This type of installation has several advantages, among which we highlight the most important ones:
• No external components are required for the hole.
• Supplied with all components to comply with EN 81.2-A2
• Hydraulic power plant with electronic technology to improve comfort.
• Cabin speed up to 1 m/s.
• Logistics costs are reduced.
In addition, in cases where the use of reduced pit dimensions and escapes is also necessary (since they are existing buildings in which an elevator is installed and it is not possible to comply with the EN 81.2 regulations) complementary products are offered to comply with EN 81.21 that allow KIT A2 to also cover the solution for buildings with these special requirements.
Legal framework:
UNE-EN 81-2:2001/A2
Safety rules for the construction and installation of elevators.
Part 2: Hydraulic lifts
A2: Machinery and pulley spaces
“EN 81-2:1998 requires special rooms for machinery and pulleys. Modern technology shows that machines and associated parts can be located in the shaft, in the cabin, or in the counterweight or in the cabinet. To ensure safety in normal operation, maintenance and inspection provisions are necessary which are not yet described in this standard.
This amendment covers the additional precautions necessary to replace the EN 81-2:1998 standard or add new chapters as indicated.”

I need a freight elevator for five floors. There is no pit, but there is a machine room. The area is 1.8 meters by 2.4 meters with an entrance at the widest part and a load capacity of 3,000 kg. If possible, hydraulic.
Thank you for your comment Leopoldo, our sales team will contact you shortly to resolve your query.
I need a piston with a maximum height of 4 meters, along with its hydraulic pump, this is for a homemade elevator, thanks
I have a single-floor hydraulic elevator and when ascending from the ground floor it produces a loud bang. The technician cannot find the fault, having carried out a check, what can be done?
