New regulations 81-1/2+3
We would like to notify you with regard to the new regulations: 81-1+3 (traction lifts) 81-2+3 (hydraulic lifts) As of 1/1/2012 every new lift ready for use must comply with the said new regulations 81-1/2+3. 3 is essentially an amendment of the existing standards, which adds the requirement for measures to prevent uncontrolled movements from the landing of the lift car with open doors. Such movement, though not very common, can occur as a result of brake or gear failure (traction lifts) or valve block failure (hydraulic lifts). A3 excludes system failure in the traction system of traction lifts as well as possible failure of the cylinder or piping in hydraulic lifts. KLEEMANN has already begun to certify the provisions to be used from now on in order to comply with the new regulations. The companys certified solutions are divided into three categories depending on the type of lift: - Hydraulic lifts: use of extra electromagnetic down-direction valve in combination with special surveillance software panel.

- Traction lifts (geared motor): Use of special speed regulator in combination with special surveillance software panel. - Traction lifts (gearless): Use of motor brake in combination with special surveillance software panel. Should you require further information, please contact our standards & certifications Department (Head: Nikos Spyropoulos) as well as our sales department.
