> Hydraulic lifts installed before 2012 are normally

DLV Valve without double safety lock; they only had the double
safety given by the flow-closing valve (shutter) and
the releveling system. In cases like these, safety is
limited, since, in the event of oil leak from the system,
the releveling will stop to operate after about 20
minutes due to motor and oil heating. Consequently,
double safety is lost, and cabin can moves with open
doors. A similar situation could happen in the event of
power failure.

> DLV valve allows introducing double safety lock

on valves manufactured by GMV or by other
manufacturers.
> It is an electrically controlled non-return valve,
installable in less than 2 hours in series between
piston and valve type 3010 or any other mechanical
or electronic hydraulic valve for lifts.

> The valve must be installed as close as possible

to the main hydraulic block but, in special cases, it
can also be installed close to the cylinder without
compromising its correct working.

> It is available in a mechanical-only version or with

ADJUSTMENT TO THE STATE
OF THE ART OF EXISTING
HYDRAULIC LIFTS

ADJUST EXISTING HYDRAULIC LIFTS AT THE

STATE OF THE ART IS NECESSARY to guarantee
the safety of the users. There is a criminal liability in
the event of serious accidents involving apartment
block administrators and owners. According to the
art. 40 of Italian Penal Code, subsection 2 “Not
preventing an event that you have the legal
obligation to prevent is equivalent to cause it”.
As shown by accident statistics, hydraulic lifts
are safe. However they are machines subject to
aging and wear, therefore require checks and
revisions.

In recent years, the importance of accident

prevention has increasingly been understood.
The Machine Directive 2006/42/EC introduced
the concept that a single fault must not cause
a dangerous condition and indicated that “The
machinery must be designed, constructed and,
where necessary, equipped with devices in such
a way as to prevent uncontrolled upward or
downward movement of the carrier.” (6.4.1.).
The most recent regulations have incorporated
this requirement also in the lift field in relation
to the new lifts (amendment A3 to the standard
EN 81-2, now integrated in the standard EN 81-
20), requiring that devices must be provided
to prevent the uncontrolled movement of the
cabin with open doors. Compliance with this
standard has found concrete implementation
through the introduction of the double safety lock
on hydraulic valve blocks. The matter is regulated
also with reference to the existing lifts with the
standard EN 81.80. Many lifts in operation do
not guarantee users the mandatory safety level
for new lifts.
