Assistance and support during installation

When structural, space or regulatory constraints impose limits, it is extremely important to have a highly customisable solution, while maintaining the quality and reliability of an industrially manufactured product. All ARE lifts, without exception, are manufactured according to customer requirements and are therefore genuine “tailor-made” products. To help you in this mission, we will provide you with extensive technical specifications and documentation and effective assistance during installation. We will keep you constantly updated on our innovations after the installation too.

Frequently asked questions

Have a doubt or curiosity about our electric lifting platforms? Scroll through the list below. If the doubt persists, please contact us.

Normally, the electronics for reading the load sensor are positioned on the cabin roof, so that is where the calibration procedure has to be conducted. This means the technician has to take care not to include their own weight in the measurements. It also means that for any information about the weight in the cabin you always have to climb onto the roof. In our system, on the other hand, the load sensor reading electronics are still positioned on the cabin roof, but they are connected to the control panel. So, all operations (calibrations, cabin weight readings, fault diagnoses etc.) are carried out from our Smart-Chopper board, i.e. the control panel.

The main power supply for our ARE systems is based on the use of lead-acid batteries, which are widely used in the automotive world. They guarantee a long service life, low costs and excellent performance. Like all batteries, they have a lifecycle, which is long and can be replaced for a limited cost.

Our home lifts can guarantee up to 45 insertions per hour

Guides made of folded sheet metal offer considerable advantages:

  • Lightweight and with a maximum length of 2400 mm, they can be moved easily both during transport (they are packed in the mechanism box) and above all during assembly. They can be located inside any lift well without difficulty, even existing ones with parapets on the door side.
  • Unlike traditional electrical systems, which have arch and counterweight guides, using our guides on these systems allow both the cabin arch and the counterweight to move, which reduces assembly times.
  • Both the arch and the counterweight move along these guides on rollers. This means we do not need to use lubricants, like oils, and comfort and silence are guaranteed.
  • Superior style. Our guides are considerably more stylish than traditional guides. If a request is made to paint the cableway mechanisms along with all the lift’s metal parts, the guides are powder-painted too, which creates an extremely stylish effect.

The batteries are monitored by a system that checks their status and stops the lift when the batteries are not sufficiently charged. If this happens during a run, the system ends the run and remains stopped at that floor while it recharges. As soon as the batteries are sufficiently charged, the system starts working normally again. We can assure the customer that this type of situation occurs only very rarely because the batteries are sized according to a number of insertions per hour that the lift is unlikely to ever perform.

The gearbox is fitted with a speed limiter/safety gear system similar to the A3 amendment devices on lifts. When the system is stopped, the cabin and counterweight cannot move, which ensures that maintenance technicians can enter the pit in total safety when making repairs.

To achieve the highest level of sustainability, we have also researched how to dispose of batteries at the end of their lifecycle. Our approach is to use procedures that ensure the lowest possible environmental impact. Today, thanks to the development of new technologies, spent batteries can be disposed of in specialised and certified centres. This avoids any environmental risk and is, above all, in line with circular economy principles. In fact, the spent batteries are taken to centres specialised in recycling all the materials inside them. This involves subjecting them to a three-step process of:

  1. Crushing.
  2. Melting.
  3. Refining.

At the end of the process, the pure metal is ready to be used again

for any application, including the production of new batteries.This recycling process allows the lead to be recovered with minimal environmental impact.
