BASIC INFORMATION
LIFTS ARE AN ASSET TO PROPERTIES
Ask anyone in the property business: lifts are an asset to the properties, opening up the home to a wider range of purchasers who may not have considered multi-storey homes due to age, health reasons or the need for specialized disabled access.
This is not only applicable to new properties, as our hydraulic lifts can be retrofitted in old buildings as well, as it needs minimal support of walls.
Designed to meet all your domestic vertical movement needs, it is the ideal alternative to stairs, giving you everyday peace of mind.
Our experience and know-how is combined with top-quality products, ensuring that the lifts are installed with minimum disruption and at an extremely competitive price.
Our lifts do not require any overhead structure or room. A pit of 75 – 200mm is needed, which can be converted into a step if digging is not feasible. Our silent hydraulic power pack requires maximum space of 1000 x 500 x 2000 mm (LxBxH) and can be placed in any location on the ground floor.

PROCESS
How to select the right home lift – The Process
Basic Requirements
A lift can offer many benefits. The homeowner’s primary decision would be based on the number of floors, automatic or manual doors and number of passengers the lift is required for. At HLA, we offer hydraulic lifts for up to 5 stops (45 feet) with a provision of multiple entry and exit directions and a wide range of cabin sizes.
Shaft & Installation Requirements
Lifts may sometimes require structural modifications to an existing home. In either retrofit or new construction, pre-planning will help simplify your installation and trim your budget. With our custom design service, we are able to optimize our cabin sizes to suit any available space.
Safety
Safety and reliability are critical with regards to the design and use of your home lift. Homeowners should review all safety related information prior to selecting the type of home lift. At HLA, we use only the best components in a system designed to disable the use of the lift in the event of a lapse or compromise in any of the numerous safety aspects.
Maintenance/Repair
It will be important to regularly inspect and maintain your lift to ensure safe and trouble-free performance. Timely maintenance also increases the life of the lift significantly. HLA Hydraulic Lifts are equipped with self-lubricating systems and backed up by a comprehensive, transparent maintenance package which is suitable for all types of installations.

ADVANTAGES OF HLA HYDRAULIC LIFTS
| Parameters | Hydraulic Lift | Traction Lift |
| 20% – 30% MORE SPACE | • Smaller space requirement in the shaft due to counterweight-free design.
• Flexible machine room location • A great deal of design freedom for architects • No rooftop structure or deep pit is required • No constraints on doorways or the shape of the car |
• Smaller car due to the considerable space needed for the sheave assembly and counterweight, alternatively a larger shaft cross-section and head height
• Architectural design scope is very restricted |
| SAFER | • Emergency evacuation procedures are very simple and completely safe
• Much safer when used in earthquake zones • Safety during service and repair work, since there is no moving counterweight |
• Complicated, and in some respects hazardous, emergency evacuation procedures
• In an earthquake, the danger from drive components or the counterweight falling on the car |
| HIGHER PERFORMANCE | • Particularly high load ratings
• All vertical loads act in the shaft pit only • Blain Hydraulics technology and weight-optimization ensure an extremely attractive price/performance ratio • Precision controls and leveling scope for any type of building. |
• Poor load ratings
• Uneven leveling found in the Traction Lift – upto ± 75mm in low-rise buildings. |
| LESSER MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS | • Technically straightforward and familiar principle reduces the amount of installation work in the shaft
• Low-maintenance drive technology • No wear on pulleys and ropes • Replacement parts are seldom needed • Replacement parts are less expensive, not tied to a particular manufacturer, and available on the open market • Technicians can work on the drive from outside the shaft. They are consequently not exposed to any hazard and thus save time |
• Heavy wear on traction sheave and ropes.
• Complicated work procedures, and hazardous working situations. • Long repair and maintenance times. • With manufacturer dependent systems, the operator is “locked in“ for maintenance and repairs; independent service providers are ruled out |
| FLEXIBLE INSTALLATION | • Simple and economical assembly
• Hydraulic lifts are particularly suitable for projects where retrofitting is involved. • Our lifts are designed as per available space requirements of the homeowner. |
• The drive system in the shaft head is difficult to access and assembly work is hazardous.
• Shaft needs to be made exactly as per manufacturer specifications. |
| MORE VALUE | • For low-rise buildings, the cost effectiveness of hydraulic lifts is virtually unbeatable. | • Very high costs for service and replacement parts. |
