Electric lift

Zen-0

Launched in 2020, ZEN-0 is an innovative electric lift that is unique in its sector and ideal for domestic and public environments, apartment blocks and offices. Thanks to its patented ARE SMART-POWER system, ZEN-0 requires minimal resources to operate. In fact, the power used is only 300 Watts in switch mode the power used is 1200W and 1500W during rapid recharging. These values refer to a system with a load capacity of 450kg at a speed of 0.15m/s

To operate the ZEN-0, it simply needs to be plugged into a standard power socket, like a normal household appliance. This achieves maximum performance in terms of energy efficiency.

Features of this Electric lift Zen-0

0,8 m/s Movement speed
300W Power consumption
The energy generated by ZEN-0 during use (with the cabin empty going up and the cabin full going down), is not wasted as heat, but stored in batteries for use in subsequent runs. Self-powering guarantees a real reduction in consumption which means lower running costs.
ZEN-0

The ZEN-0 lift has a higher load capacity and movement speed than the home lift.

Reduced installation space

The ZEN-0 can be installed even in spaces where it is impossible to fit a traditional lift.

No machine room

The absence of a dedicated machine room allows the system to also be used in buildings with limited space.

Switch mode

When the charge level of the batteries goes under a preset threshold, ZEN-0 automatically activates the SWITCH mode. In this mode ZEN-0 uses the grid to power the motor and it moves at a reduced speed to remain within the installed electricity meter’s parameters.

An indicator light inside the cabin informs the client about the mode activation. When the batteries reach the sufficient charge level, ZEN—0 automatically exits from SWITCH mode and works again with the batteries. In switch mode the amount of power is equal to 1200W, during fast charge 1500W. The values refer to a platform of 450kg payload with 0,15m/s speed.”

Gearless motor

The use of a gearless motor guarantees high efficiency, reduced dimensions and low maintenance costs (no lubricating oils are required).

Tailor-made design

Every Zen-0 model is unique.

Our experience allows us to meet the needs of any customer as our solutions offer not only customised dimensions but a customised design too. We can recommend the most suitable materials and colours to ensure every lift is in perfect harmony with the environment around it.

Discover ARE SMART-POWER technology

ARE SMART-POWER is the name given to the innovative, patented technology with numerous energy efficiency benefits we use to power our lifts.

  • Recharging from SOL-ARE photovoltaic panels Renewable energy Zero consumption

    SOL-ARE is ARE’s new patented technological innovation that is designed to optimise lift battery recharging using solar energy produced by photovoltaic panels.

  • Energy recovery The more you use it, the more energy you store

    The energy produced during the normal use of our lifts is not wasted as heat, but stored in batteries for use in subsequent runs. This reduces national power grid consumption costs.

  • Anti-blackout system Always working, always safe.

    Batteries are the main power supply system used on our lifts. This allows our lift to continue to operate even in the event of a sudden power failure, so accessibility and safety are guaranteed at all times. * With charged batteries and under optimal usage conditions, up to 60 runs can be made with the Mangusta and Miniwatt lifts and up to 40 runs with the ZEN-0 lift.

  • Low energy consumption, maximum power Like a household appliance

    Thanks to ARE SMART POWER technology, the maximum power used by our lifts is comparable to, if not lower than, many household appliances. For example, the power used by the MANGUSTA and MINIWATT home lifts is only 130W, less than that of an electric or microwave oven. The comparison also applies to the unique ZEN-0 electric lift, which uses only 300W.*

    *In Switch manoeuvring, 1200W of power are used and with rapid recharging 1500W – reference values measured on a system with a load-bearing capacity of 450KG and a speed of 0.15 m/s)

Display Smart

Our Display Smart allows you to monitor in real-time all the information about the energy generated by the electric lift during use and the level of battery charge. Additional functions include warnings regarding overloads in the cabin, low battery charge and no mains voltage.

Brochure

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.

Yes, ZEN-0 has a higher speed that can reach up to 0.8 m/s.

In this case, Switch mode* is activated, i.e. the lift’s power supply shifts from batteries to mains, and the passenger is informed with an illuminated icon. The lift moves more slowly so it remains within the parameters of the electricity meter installed until the required battery charge level is reached.

* in switch mode the power used is 1200W and 1500W during rapid recharging. These values refer to a system with a load capacity of 450kg at a speed of 0.15m/s

With the batteries charged and under optimal usage conditions, up to 60 runs can be made. This ensures efficient service even during a blackout.

Yes, all our lifts feature soft arrivals and departures. The silence achieved by our ARE SMART-POWER technology gives lift passengers a pleasant sensation of comfort throughout every run.
