Why DenvEL-4500?¶

This section explains why you should prefer DenvEL-4500 over stairs and other manufacturers’ elevators.

DenvEL-4500 is comfortable¶

We designed DenvEL-4500 to provide a ride with maximum comfort for passengers:

The car moves fast, smoothly and without noise.
The car is equipped with a tall mirror and a convenient handrail.
A user-friendly control panel has tactile buttons and clear numbers for visually impaired passengers.
A pleasant female voice makes announcements about car stops.
A mild audio signal notifies about opening and closing of the doors.
Colorful indicators inside the car and above elevator entrances inform about the current car position.

DenvEL-4500 is safe¶

DenvEL-4500 ensures passengers’ safety in case of fire, earthquake, power outage or other emergencies:

The elevator conforms to the latest international safety requirements (ISO 22559-1:2014).
Multiple proximity sensors prevent the doors from unexpected closing or opening.
When fire or seismic sensors are activated, the car stops at the nearest floor and opens the doors so that passengers can safely evacuate.
If there is power outage, DenvEL-4500 uses emergency power supply to take passengers to the destination floor.
If the car is overloaded, passengers hear an audio notification, and the car does not move until the load is below the rated capacity.

DenvEL-4500 is eco-friendly¶

DenvEL-4500 uses cutting-edge technologies to reduce power consumption and CO₂ emission:

LED indicators and downlights consume less power than conventional lamps.
If there are several cars installed, the intelligent system selects the nearest one to minimize passengers’ waiting time and reduce power consumption.
If there are no passengers in the car, the intellectual system automatically shuts down ventilation fans and turns off lights.
The electric engine with enhanced traction mechanism reduces CO₂ emission.
When the car moves down, the electric engine goes off, and the traction mechanism is used to regenerate power.

Elevator entrance¶

You can find an entrance into the elevator on every floor. The following diagram shows how this entrance looks like.

Hallway door is a sliding door which opens automatically when the car arrives to the floor so that passengers can enter the car or leave it.
