Car lift
Vertical transport of the vehicle with its driver and passengers, where space does not allow an access ramp.
See the range →Standards and obligations in France
A lift in France follows precise rules, from construction to maintenance. We build them in from the study stage.
EN 81-20 and EN 81-50
The European construction and safety standards for new lifts. Each lift is delivered with its CE marking and declaration of conformity.
Accessibility and remote alarm
EN 81-70 for accessibility, including for people with reduced mobility, and EN 81-28 for the remote alarm linking the car to a 24/7 rescue service.
Maintenance contract
Mandatory for every lift: a visit at least every six weeks, breakdown service, 24/7 release of trapped passengers and an annual activity report (2004 and 2012 decrees).
Maintenance logbook
Updated at every visit and every call-out. It can be electronic: its content is then attached to the annual report given to the owner.
Inspection every five years
An independent inspector checks the condition and safety of the lift, based in particular on the maintenance logbook.
End of 2G and 3G
Operators are gradually switching off these networks: remote alarms and monitoring must move to 4G. Sodimas offers 4G transmitters to prepare.
The connected lift with Pilote
Pilote is Sodimas remote monitoring, available as an option. Connected plug and play, this unit tracks the lift with its sensors and gives owners and maintenance companies visibility at any time: a prevention and alert tool for maintenance. With the QI Touch controller, the lift can also be adjusted and diagnosed from a smartphone or tablet.
Controllers →Prevention and alerts
Anomalies are reported before they strand users.
Built-in sensors
Accelerometer, altimeter, laser and door sensor.
Online visibility
The lift's status available at any time.
New and existing lifts
A version for the QI Touch and a version for all brands.

Frequently asked questions
Are your lifts compliant?
Yes. Our lifts meet European standards EN 81-20 and EN 81-50, and each lift is delivered with its certificate of conformity.
Which lift for a small building?
Often a machine-room-less lift: no machine room to build and lower energy use. We advise you based on your drawings.
Is a connected lift mandatory?
No. Regulations require a maintenance contract, an up-to-date maintenance logbook and a remote alarm. Remote monitoring such as Pilote goes further: it helps anticipate breakdowns and follow the lift remotely.
