Five Reasons to Install an Eco Lift

Finding ways to be more environmentally friendly is becoming increasingly important in recent years; with individuals and businesses making all sorts of changes, from giving up the use of plastic straws, to switching to energy efficient lighting.

Many different types of buildings are equipped with a lift, including office blocks, restaurants, factories and blocks of flats, and there are many situations when the time comes to think about upgrading or installing a new lift. If you work in or own a building that needs a new lift, then why not consider an eco lift as an option. Eco lifts are a green alternative to regular elevators, and there are many benefits that come from choosing this option. If you’d like to know more about why it makes sense to install an eco lift in your building, see below for five of our best reasons.

Reduced energy consumption

Eco lifts (also known as green lifts), can save around 50-70% of energy on average, in comparison to traditional lifts. When an eco lift isn’t in action, it is powered down so that only the key elements are in use, drastically reducing the overall power consumption. They also use LED lighting over halogen bulbs, reducing energy expended by the lighting by around 80%.

Saves money

The less power a lift uses, the less money you’ll have to spend on keeping it running, so choosing an eco lift can lead to big savings in the long run. The way they’re designed is also geared towards the need for less repairs and maintenance, saving you even more money on their upkeep.

Takes up less space

If space in your building is tight, then it’s good to know that many eco lifts are available in a machine room-less model, saving you valuable space in your building. Instead, eco lifts run using a built in recovery drive, and if there’s no need to build a machine room, you’ll also save money on construction costs.

They generate electricity

As well as reduced energy consumption overall, an eco lift is also designed to put energy back into the building. The fitting of a regenerative drive means that if the lift motor breaks, it generates electricity which can then be fed back into the power grid instead of becoming dissipated as heat.

More efficient overall

Eco lifts don’t run using cables or gear pistons, which means there’s no need to lubricate them regularly or worry about potential oil leaks. They can also be installed with light motion sensors, ensuring you save even more when it comes to electricity use.
