FAQs
-
Can the UnaPorte® be installed in locations with difficult access?
Yes. The lift is supplied with split rail sections, allowing it to be carried through narrow corridors, doorways, and stairwells. This makes it suitable for sites with restricted access or limited space for equipment delivery.
-
How is the UnaPorte® operated at each landing?
Wireless call stations are supplied as standard. These surface-mounted controls allow users to call or send the lift between levels without physical cabling, which is particularly useful for retrofits and outdoor sites.
-
What information does the lift’s graphic display provide?
The full-colour display shows the lift’s operating status and fault information, guiding users through simple fixes. According to Ascendor, the graphical interface can resolve around 80% of issues without an engineer visit.
-
Is the UnaPorte® suitable for use in cold or variable weather conditions?
Yes. The lift is weather-resistant and suitable for outdoor installation. Its internal components have an IP54 protection rating, helping to keep them dry in outdoor conditions.
