Everyone seems to have heard an elevator horror story- a door that didn’t close properly or a car stuck between floors for hours. It’s these rare incidents that can make anyone question the safety and practicality of installing a home elevator. Fortunately, home elevators have evolved dramatically over the years, especially regarding their safety features and designs.
At RAM Elevators, safety is the bedrock of everything we do, and our advanced features are designed to offer peace of mind to protect your household. Whether you’re considering a home elevator for accessibility, convenience, or future resale, put your mind at ease by exploring how RAM’s home elevators have been designed with your household’s safety as a top priority.
Key Safety Features in Every RAM Elevator
RAM Elevators has been serving home elevator solutions for over 30 years, and we’ve spent that time incorporating several high-quality safety features in our designs to ensure that our products not only meet but exceed your expectations. Each feature is carefully thought through to provide unmatched comfort, protection, and reliability within your home. These include:
1. Loud Emergency Alarms for Immediate Assistance
Imagine knowing that if you ever needed assistance, help could arrive swiftly, even if no one was home- that’s possible with RAM! Our home elevators have a powerful emergency alarm designed to be heard beyond your walls. In the unlikely event of an emergency, the alarm’s volume is loud enough to alert nearby neighbours, ensuring timely assistance. For those who live in a shared building or community setting, this feature adds an extra layer of security by guaranteeing that someone will hear your beacon and respond once the alarm is activated.
2. Automatic Lowering During Power Outages
Power outages are a common concern when it comes to elevators. Many people worry about what happens if the power fails and someone is trapped inside- well, RAM home elevators have built-in technology that automatically lowers the car to the lowest level, typically a first floor or garage, in the event of a power outage. This automatic lowering ensures anyone inside can safely exit the elevator, even when the power’s out. This feature means never worrying about getting stuck or needing rescue during an outage- the elevator will bring you back to safety.
3. Interlocking Safety Mechanisms for Added Child Protection
Families with young children often worry about the risks an elevator poses, especially if their child can access the elevator without supervision. Thankfully, RAM’s home elevators have an interlock safety mechanism that includes a keyed entry on all floors, preventing young children from unsupervised access. This feature is also beneficial in multi-family homes, as it adds security and privacy by controlling who can access each space from the elevator. With a simple key, you can prevent unauthorized use and keep the elevator out of the reach of tiny hands.
4. Commercial-Grade Compliance for Strength and Durability
RAM Elevators go above and beyond residential standards by adhering to commercial safety codes for strength and durability on all our installations. Each elevator is built with the strength and weld integrity needed to pass commercial standards, meaning you’ll get the same level of safety in your home that you’d expect to find in an office building or mall. This compliance gives you added confidence that your elevator isn’t just “safe for home”- it’s built to commercial-grade specifications, making it strong enough to last while keeping everyone in your household safe.
