Safety is standard with TWIN – We provide four levels of safety to prevent two TWIN cabs in the same shaft from getting too close to each other.
Leaving nothing to chance
![]() Intelligent allocation of callsRequests are always distributed by the destination selection control so elevator cabins do not obstruct each other and a minimum distance is always observed. ![]() Monitoring of minimum safety distancesThe minimum separation of the cabins is monitored automatically to ensure the cabins are kept at a safe distance. ![]() Emergency stop functionIf the safety distance is breached, the system shuts down the drives, activates the brakes and triggers an emergency stop for both elevator cabins. ![]() Automatic engagement of the safety gearIn the unlikely event that the first three safety stages fail, the safety gears of both the elevator cabins are activated. It is not possible for the elevator cabins to make contact. |
