Buildings above a certain height require a dedicated lift that is specifically equipped to be used by firefighters during a building fire or other emergency. EOX can be configured to meet the demands of the EN 81-72 firefighter elevator standard.
EOX as a firefighter elevator
Special features of the EOX firefighter lift
To remain operational under smoky and damp conditions, the EOX firefighter lift fulfils IPX3 protection requirements for electrical components in the shaft and the cabin.
The cabin ceiling includes a 700×500 mm emergency trapdoor with an integrated telescopic ladder, allowing firefighters to exit and enter through the elevator shaft.
