Elevator construction facing profound structural changes

Elevator construction facing profound structural changes

Elevator construction is facing profound structural changes. Although it is difficult to identify a clearly defined key theme at present, two developments are having a particularly significant impact on the industry: the ongoing digitalisat...





Modernising lifts: lifts with energy recovery

Modernising lifts: lifts with energy recovery

Hydraulic lifts still dominate the building stock of many cities today. They are considered durable, maintenance-friendly and robust, but are coming under increasing pressure as energy efficiency and sustainability become more important. Op...



Motion sensors in lift construction and various industries

Motion sensors in lift construction and various industries

In lift construction, motion is not an abstract process, but a safety-critical condition. Position, speed and deceleration must be precisely recorded at all times in order to minimise risks for users, maintenance personnel and equipment.



Platform lift – accessibility for independent living

Platform lift – accessibility for independent living

Accessibility is no longer a niche issue, but a key criterion in modern building design. In private homes in particular, there is a growing need for solutions that enable people with limited mobility to live independently in their own homes...



Software for the lift industry – with real-time data from the systems

Software for the lift industry – with real-time data from the systems

The lift industry has been under increasing organisational pressure for years. Rising demands on documentation, maintenance, transparency and response times are coming up against a structure that is heavily dominated by small and medium-siz...

Mini lifts for private residences

Mini lifts for private residences

The desire for comfortable mobility in one's own home is growing, especially in buildings with multiple levels. Stairs quickly become a burden in everyday life, whether due to age, comfort requirements or simply because of daily use. Mini l...



Platform lifts and vertical lifts for accessibility in buildings

Platform lifts and vertical lifts for accessibility in buildings

Lifts are still considered a planning challenge in many buildings, especially when space is limited or the existing structure allows for little intervention. It is precisely in such situations that specialised solutions become increasingly ...



Safety components for lift construction from Hans Jungblut

Safety components for lift construction from Hans Jungblut

Belt for lifts made of plastic fibre without metal reinforcement

Belt for lifts made of plastic fibre without metal reinforcement

In lift technology, the focus is often on controls, energy consumption and maintenance intervals. However, components that are rarely in the spotlight are just as important: belts, ropes, drives and the supporting mechanics. These are the f...



Emergency call systems: Lift emergency call solutions for buildings

Emergency call systems: Lift emergency call solutions for buildings

Emergency call systems are among the invisible but indispensable components of modern buildings. They come into play whenever regular processes are interrupted and fast, reliable communication is required.



Lift modernisation: ride comfort, energy consumption, maintenance

Lift modernisation: ride comfort, energy consumption, maintenance

In many buildings, lifts have been operating reliably for decades, but at the same time they are becoming outdated in terms of technology and energy efficiency. Hydraulic systems in particular are considered durable, but their control, regu...





Lift construction: Electric safety catches for hydraulic lifts

Lift construction: Electric safety catches for hydraulic lifts

Hydraulic lifts play a central role wherever heavy loads need to be moved safely, in a controlled and reliable manner. In industrial plants, workshops or logistics buildings, stability, precision and operational safety are more important th...
