Are there any weight restrictions for passenger lifts?
Yes, passenger lifts have weight restrictions to ensure safe operation. These restrictions are usually indicated by the lift manufacturer and displayed within the lift car. It is important to adhere to these weight limits to prevent damage to the lift and ensure passenger safety.
Can passenger lifts operate during power outages?
Many modern passenger lifts are equipped with emergency backup power systems, such as battery-operated or generator-powered systems. These systems allow the lifts to continue operating during power outages, enabling safe evacuation or temporary use until power is restored.
What should I do in the event of a lift breakdown or emergency?
If you find yourself in a lift breakdown or emergency situation, it's important to remain calm. Use the emergency communication system or alarm button to contact the building management or emergency services. Do not attempt to exit the lift unless instructed to do so by professionals.
