Factors such as the rapidly growing construction sector and the rising regulatory requirements will offer immense growth opportunities in the forthcoming years. According to market research, Germany’s elevator and escalator market size is projected to expand at a CAGR of 3%-4%. Trust, loyalty, familiarity, quality, and security are core consumer values in Germany. It’s also worth noting that due to the competitiveness of the German marketplace, buyers can afford to be picky and demanding. To meet their expectations, DOPPLER has offered its many years of experience and technical expertise competency in a variety of needs and requests.

Lift Steel Structures

Older buildings may have appealing stairs and many floors, but sometimes they don’t have a lift to facilitate transportation. The lack of shaft in these buildings can be bypassed by retrofitting a lift in a steel shaft frame. DOPPLER’s steel structures are a flexible solution for all sorts of buildings –new and existing ones- when the walls are not considered strong enough to support a wall-mounted model or when constructing a load-bearing wall is out of the question.

The steel structure is built in a way that is well suited to new buildings, where construction speed and costs are the main concern. Steel structures are suitable for both interior and exterior installations. They have an orthogonal or a square structure type, and the Client can choose between glass and epoxy panels as cladding, depending on the technical and aesthetic requirements.

DOPPLER takes a personal approach to each project to ensure that all requirements are reflected in the delivered product, always in compliance with the latest EU regulations. There is a wide range of colors and finishes to design these highly customized projects. But let’s take a journey to Germany and look closely at some of DOPPLER’s solutions there.
