Overview of the MC 3000 Self Contained Passenger Lift

Do you have space issues with fitting a lift? No obvious place for it to go? Take a look at the MC3000 - the latest in self contined lift technology offering a 675kg capacity lift within its own shaft.

The MC3000 is a conventional lift built to EN81 standard with it's own shaft, ideal for existing buildings where no shaft is apparent, it is designed for installation within, or alongside, a staircase.

It is highly space efficient with minimal impact on the existing building, a long life span, low energy consumption and can be installed within a short time.

The key to its reliability – the Guided Chain

At the heart of the MC3000 is the patented Guided Chain drive system.

It’s safe. As the chain is confined to a track along its whole length, it can never derail. Even if the chain should break, the drive system will still bring the platform to a totally safe position. (Actually, to date, a Guided Chain has never broken!)

It’s doubly safe. In normal operation, the Guided Chain pulls the car, but in the unlikely event of the chain breaking, the car will be parked standing on the chain, and thus in a completely safe position.

It’s reliable, due to the robust construction of the Guided Chain, which will last for at least 25 years with the minimum of maintenance.

It’s economical in use, thanks to its low power consumption, low fuse requirements, and low maintenance needs.

It’s environment-friendly. During installation the gearing mechanism is lifetime-greased. This means no messy oil leaks, no need to change the oil, and therefore no waste oil to dispose of.
