Direct Lifts Australia supplied and installed a commercial lift for a four-level apartment building in Dee Why, New South Wales.
The Vertical Transportation (X-10) elevator was the ideal solution for the building’s low headroom as the minimum overrun requirement was only 3000mm, which is the lowest headroom requirement in the commercial market. This allowed the building height to remain under the maximum allowable height in compliance with the Northern Beaches Council approval requirements.
Featuring a stainless steel finish, the lift incorporates AS1735.12 compliant buttons with Braille and illumination as well as an AS1735.12 complaint handrail with curved ends for passengers with limited mobility.
This class of lift within the National Construction Code 2019 (NCC E3.6) is the Electric Passenger Lift and there is no limitation on height mostly due to its ability to travel at high speeds of 1 to 1.6 m/sec.
A 20mm recess was allowed in the floor to enable the builder to add their own flooring while the non-flammable lift interiors in the cabin were factored to comply with building standards.
Specifications:
Type of lift: X10 Commercial Lift
Travel: 3.64m
Number of Stops: 2 stops
Maximum Weight: 1,000kg/ 13 passengers
