Create an accessible world

Doppler offers a wide range of mobility solutions, enhancing the freedom of movement. The company’s most important task is developing and manufacturing such solutions utilizing R&D, technology, design, and aesthetics following the pertinent requirements.

Inclined elevators play a significant role in human transportation and can be used in several projects for which conventional elevators cannot be used. Accessibility should not be an issue, whether the area includes hillside buildings, coastal estates, mountain residences, public facilities, restaurants, hotels, resorts, etc. For such hard-to-reach properties, inclined systems often provide smooth accessibility.

Doppler designs and manufactures inclined elevators to meet the site’s technical requirements and the client’s aesthetic preferences.

We offer full packages for residential, commercial, and industrial solutions. Turnkey and fully customizable, they always involve analyzing site conditions (topography and other geotechnical data), local building codes, application type, capacity needs, technical specifications, aesthetic preferences, and more. Inclined lifts are specially designed to meet the requirements for conveying passengers or passengers and loads, traveling along guide rails at an angle of 15-75° to horizontal. They are separated from the surroundings by total or partial enclosures to protect people from moving parts.

The hoistway’s structure includes emergency doors (these doors may be the landing doors as well) and leads to a permanent walkway from one end of the landing platform to the other, which is used for emergencies and inspection. For more complex structures, an adjacent car can be provided with all the necessary equipment for aiding evacuation. Pit and headroom spaces are sufficient, considering where the lift will be at its bottom and top overtravel. If such sufficient spaces are not available, proper movable stops ensure these spaces will be created for maintenance and inspection purposes.

The wall surfaces of the hoistway can be imperforated of any type and/or perforated (according to EN ISO 13857:2008) to serve the use of the lift (e.g., observation-type in galleries or atriums, or garden lifts). The hoistway and the walkway (where applicable) are provided with permanently installed electric lighting for easy and safe inspection and maintenance work.

The lift machine and its associated equipment can be in a machine room or inside the hoistway, while the suspension means can be wire ropes or steel chains with additional weather protection for open hoistways. The cabin structure adopts all the relevant regulations regarding its strength and ease of use, while the car withstands all the forces exerted by the rated load and weight of cabin components in operation.

Safety

Doppler inclined elevators provide fully automatic transportation between different levels to help ensure a safe ride. This assurance is backed up by a mechanical safety system, ensuring passengers’ safety during movement. The car is also provided with safety gear acting in both travel directions. It is tripped by an Overspeed governor, while buffers are provided at the bottom limit of travel and the counterweight frame.

The car is always equipped with alarm equipment, and the possibility of monitoring the lift remotely by installing an additional plug-and-play kit on the control panel is available. Doppler’s inclined lifts are in accordance with the provisions of EN 81-22.
