Today, the reduced pit lift is an excellent option for buildings that do not have the space for a standard lift. These vertical mobility platforms are no longer a luxury and have become a necessity, as they facilitate the transfer of people from one place to another safely, quickly and efficiently.
What is a reduced pit lift?
A reduced pit lift is one that is designed with a minimum pit and escape space, usually between 20 and 40 cm, allowing it to fit into extremely tight spaces where a conventional lift would not be viable. This design maintains the functionality and safety of the elevator without requiring major structural modifications to the building, making it ideal for installations in older buildings, single-family homes or places with space restrictions.
Elevators with a reduced pit are an innovative solution that promotes universal accessibility. By allowing installation in buildings that previously lacked an elevator, they improve the quality of life of people with reduced mobility and the elderly. In addition, this technology is presented as an ideal option for those looking to install an elevator without a stairwell.
However, installing this type of elevator can involve certain challenges. In older buildings, installation may require modifications or additional work that could be complex and costly. Also depending on the place of installation. It is also essential to comply with specific accessibility and safety regulations, which adds a layer of complexity to the process. Therefore, it is crucial to have experienced professionals in this type of adaptation to minimize risks and ensure that all modifications are made in accordance with current regulations.
Main characteristics of a lift with a reduced pit
- Easy installation: Thanks to its compact design, the installation process of a small pit elevator is simpler than conventional elevators. By requiring a smaller pit and escape space, extensive structural modifications are reduced, which also reduces construction times.
- Reduced construction costs: Unlike conventional elevators, elevators with a reduced pit usually involve lower installation costs. This is because working in a smaller space is required, which simplifies the process and can reduce the expense of materials and labor.
- Ideal for buildings where structural modifications cannot be made: These devices are perfect for older buildings or buildings with space constraints, where installing a traditional elevator is not feasible. They are also a solution for single-family homes and commercial buildings with architectural restrictions.
- Less structural impact: Another advantage of elevators with a reduced pit is that they preserve the integrity and aesthetics of the building. By requiring less space and making fewer modifications to the existing structure, they minimize alteration of the original design and prevent damage to architectural elements.
Types of reduced pit elevators that can be installed
Not all elevators can have a reduced pit. The feasibility of installing such a lift depends on the model and the manufacturer’s specifications. Here are some types that allow for this feature:
Conventional elevators
It is possible to install conventional lifts with a reduced pit of up to 300 mm, provided that an exception to the standard approved by the competent authority is processed that justifies the impossibility of making a standardised pit. These elevators do not require significant structural modifications, making them an attractive option for retrofitting existing buildings.
Home lifts
These lifting systems, designed for people with reduced mobility in single-family homes, allow installation with minimum pits of between 12 and 25 cm, depending on the type of cabin floor. They are ideal for those who want to improve accessibility without compromising the aesthetics of their home.
Vertical lifting platforms
Platforms such as the Aritco type can be installed with reduced pits, requiring only 5 cm. They are a perfect alternative for buildings where space is extremely limited. In addition, many of these platforms can use ramps to bridge the pit, making it even easier to install.
