Reduced pit and headroom
Top-floor headroom of 2,500 mm in new and existing buildings, 300 mm pit in existing buildings (1,000 mm in new ones).
Médium 2.5, the lift for tight shafts
A machine-room-less lift designed for buildings short on space: pit reduced to 300 mm and top floor at 2,500 mm, on a single load-bearing wall.
- 225 to 630 kg
- Pit from 300 mm
- 2,500 mm headroom
- Single load-bearing wall
The Médium range, designed by Sodimas, relies on a single load-bearing wall: it fits easily into existing and new buildings and frees up floor space. Its Médium 2.5 version is our answer for the most constrained shafts.
Key strengths
Single load-bearing wall
All the mechanics are fixed to one wall: simple integration and more room in the shaft.
Gearless and belt
Gearless motor at the top of the shaft, no oil or grease; traction and suspension by flat polyurethane belt.
On-board governor
A belt stretched from the pit to the top of the shaft replaces the governor and its tension pulley: less equipment to install.
Energy efficient
Frequency inverter, automatic standby of signalling and lighting: nearly 50% less energy than an equivalent traditional system, according to Sodimas.
SIL 3 safety
QI Touch controller and SecureMax position sensor at SIL 3 level under EN 81-20.
