Why the cheapest lift offer can become the most expensive after the building is commissioned
The lowest purchase price does not necessarily mean the lowest long-term cost. Lift price and operating costs depend on the configuration, maintenance conditions, repairs, spare parts availability and other parameters of the specific equipment.

Types of lift doors: how to choose
Types of lift doors should be selected together with the lift cabin and shaft parameters, number of entrances and requirements of the specific project. The door configuration affects how access to the lift cabin is organised, so this decision should ideally be made during the design stage.
Passenger lift cabin dimensions: what determines them
Passenger lift cabin dimensions are not determined separately. They need to be considered together with the shaft parameters, rated load, number of entrances, door dimensions and the requirements of the specific building project. This is why selection should begin at the design stage.
How many people can a passenger lift accommodate?
There is no single answer to how many people a lift can accommodate for every model. Passenger capacity is linked to the rated load and the parameters of the specific lift cabin, so the characteristics of the selected equipment should always be checked.
Fire-rated doors with glazing
Fire-rated doors with glazing can include a vision panel if the glazing forms part of a door construction with confirmed fire resistance characteristics. Standard glass or arbitrary changes to the size of the glazed area do not confirm that the declared fire resistance rating of the door will be maintained.
EI60 doors: what you need to know before ordering
EI60 doors have a fire resistance rating in which E refers to integrity, I to thermal insulation, and 60 indicates the time in minutes. The required rating is determined by the project, so before ordering it is important to check the requirements and documentation for the specific product.
EI30 doors: what the rating means and where they are used
EI30 doors have a fire resistance rating indicating that the construction is capable of maintaining integrity (E) and limiting heat transfer to the unexposed side (I) for at least 30 minutes under standardised fire test conditions.
BETABOX-ST stainless steel enclosures
BETABOX-ST stainless steel enclosures are designed to house electrical equipment where the enclosure material needs to meet more demanding operating conditions. When selecting a model, it is important to consider the environment, installation location, configuration and requirements of the specific project.
BETABOX wall-mounted electrical enclosures
BETABOX electrical enclosures are manufactured by Euroformat. They are designed for the installation of distribution, switching, network and other equipment rated up to 1000 V.
How many lifts are needed in one building section?
The number of lifts in a building section depends not only on the number of floors, but also on the number of apartments, passenger flow and peak demand within the section.
