Can a Lift Upgrade Improve Energy Efficiency?

Lifts are used everywhere. In a domestic setting, they’re a practical way of moving between floors for those with limited mobility and commercially, they’re not only convenient but ensure that the environment is suited to all needs. Plus, for those wanting a greener option, did you know that eco lifts can save energy?

Here’s how an eco lift can provide a greener solution.

What is an eco lift?

An eco lift operates in the same way as a standard passenger lift but does so using less energy. These machines run on energy recovery technology so consumption is reduced while the lift is being used but this doesn’t affect how efficiently it works. An eco lift upgrade is a great choice especially for businesses that want to operate in a more energy efficient way.

What makes an eco lift green?

The ‘eco’ part of these kinds of lifts are down to how they operate. As mentioned, they use less energy than regular lifts, for example, some models that have machine room-less operations can reduce energy consumption by 50% than traction drive lifts and 70% more than hydraulic lifts!

Additionally, eco lifts use halogen lighting instead of LED lights - again this minimises consumption but can last up to 10 times longer. Lastly, when eco lifts are not in use they power down so only the key elements are in use and energy isn’t wasted unnecessarily. Over time this can save a large amount of energy and money!

What are the benefits of eco lifts?

Investing in the right kind of lift is essential so whether you want a lift upgrade or a new installation, it’s always worth considering the eco option. The benefits include:

●     Eco lifts can lower your energy bills.

●     They can contribute to greener practises at home or work.

●     Less energy is wasted.

●     They are just as reliable as standard lifts but much greener.
