Engineered for Child Safety. Designed for Homes.
Home elevators are designed with particular mechanisms for child safety to enhance the protection of your child when they are using the elevator, as it has many added layers of safety built in for them. The purpose of these home elevators is to provide a safe method for children to use. These home elevators prevent a young user from pressing buttons by accident, moving in an unsafe manner, or using the door incorrectly.
When compared to commercial elevators, home lifts can be used and operated directly by people while they are located in their own homes. Children often explore things they see; therefore, the child safety features are included in the design of the elevator. They do not rely solely on adult supervision, but they work on their own to ensure that the elevator operates safely and correctly.
Why Is This Important?
Children do not always recognise dangers and are unaware of the consequences of their actions when they are around moving machinery. It is important to take a proactive rather than a reactive approach to the safety of our children when using home lifts every day in a home environment.
By installing child-safe mechanisms, the likelihood of an accidental trip, a door-related event or unsafe interaction is greatly reduced when using a home elevator. The predictable operation associated with this safety equipment allows parents to be assured that their child's safety has been taken into consideration even when they are not supervising them.
Who Will Benefit?
- Families with toddlers or young children
- Multigenerational households
- Households where a home elevator exists in common areas
- Parents who desire built-in safety without restricting access
Child-Safe Mechanisms Define
Door Security Interlocks
A home elevator cannot be used until the door is securely closed and locked.
Obstruction Detection Devices
Sensors prevent the doors from closing if small hands feet or objects are detected.
Smooth Elevator Operation
The elevator has been designed to ensure a smooth ride due to the use of gently accelerating and decelerating motion.
Safety Systems Provide Failsafe Logic
The elevator will not function if safety requirements aren't met.
Emergency Stop & Alarm System
Easily accessible emergency buttons allow immediate lift stoppage and alert assistance in case a child feels unsafe.
Controlled & Lockable Operating Panel
Child-reach buttons and optional key-lock controls prevent unauthorized or unsupervised use by children.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Are home elevators safe for children to use on a daily basis?
Yes, the home elevator was specifically created for homeowners with child safety features. These child safety features prevent the elevator from moving in an unsafe manner, allow for unintentional operation, and only allow operation if all of the safety features are working properly.
2. Can a child operate the elevator by mistake?
No. With a child-safe system, the elevator cannot move until the doors are closed and secure. The elevator does not move by accident even if a child accidentally presses the button.
3. Will child safety features make it harder to use the elevator for adults?
No, child safety features operate automatically and do not affect normal user operation. Adults enjoy the same benefits of convenience as well as providing additional safety to children.
4. Will adult supervision be needed with the installation of child safety features?
Yes, while child safety features provide additional protection to children, it is important to supervise children in addition to having child safety features. Child safety features do not replace responsible adult supervision.
