Ladder Guided Service Lifts

The Avanti Octopus Lift

The ladder guided lift from Avanti Wind Systems ensures that the lift cabin does not sway when travelling. Smooth movements are ensured while travelling up the tower. The system uses the existing safety ladder system to guide its travel path.

• Can carry 2 persons.
• Max weight: 350 kg.
• Speed: 18m (CE) 21m (AECO) per minute.
• Less swaying while travelling-Smooth movement, low vibrations.
• Use existing climbing ladder. Only one shaft for both ladder and lift.
• The lift is close to the ladder which increases safety.
• Less resistance required for the safety ladder, so the ladder is made of aluminium.
• The adjustment between safety ladder lengths allows some small gaps, and alignment is not so critical.
• Hoist and safety brake do not invade user´s available space.
• The lift will always stop when descending when the bottom stop is activated, even with no power and while opening the manual brake release system.
• 4 m long cable allows service lift to be powered up/down.
• Safety stops (bottom and top) cover the complete area of the lift cabin.
