Convenience of movement in the elevator, at least once, yes, I felt on myself. You go in the cab, press a button and "Puhhhh!" You are already on the required floor. But the designs of the elevators of the last century are paled against the backdrop of the brilliant constructions of the country house lift. What attracts in the model of the elevator?

Elevator in a private house is not a luxury, but a means of transportation
The annual increasing comfort of living in a country house does not cease to surprise the developer. Yesterday, many knew about the possibility of installing a country house lift from neighbors, thinking about the appointment and the need for installation, frankly considering the venture a sign of luxury.
However, the reasoning in favor of installing the elevator, it becomes justified if the house is inhabited by elderly people or people with a limited function of independent movement. Modern models of elevators in private houses are no different from public elevators in multi-storey buildings. Although, however, differ in the convenience of management and guarantee of safe movement.
On the contrary, it is an attractive and stylish design, impeccable functionality of small-sized equipment. The European quality of equipment for elevators allows you to adapt it in rooms with limited space. The rapidly growing demand for personal lifts has served and created the conditions for individual design and serial production of elevator equipment of various models. Buy a lift in a private house means to acquire practical equipment, and frankly, a convenient means of transportation.
What is the design of the country house lift
The construction of elevators is manufactured by industry with standard overall dimensions. The construction consists of an elevator shaft and a lift itself, which is a fitted booth.
lift shaft
The minimum requirements for the elevator shaft are: the height of the upper floors is 2250 m, the technological pit is 120 mm.
To install an elevator in a private house you will need:
• 2.5 m of free space upwards
• 1,5 sq.m. free space
• 0.2 m down at home.
The elevator shaft is a vertical space intended for the movement of the cabin and the installation of elevator equipment. Dimensions of the elevator shaft in terms of 1.5x1.5 m without further modification of the space for equipment. The elevator shaft is provided for when designing a house, making the necessary calculations for the laying of a reinforced concrete or brick mine.
Cottage elevator can be installed the following options:
• into the dead shaft
• in the glazed mine metal frame.
The option of installing the elevator in a blind mine hides the interior of the cabin from the view, but the more interesting it is to look inside the cabin.
In the glazed metal frame the visibility from the cabin is magnificent.
Therefore, the elevator becomes a kind of center of visual perception of the space of its installation. When driving in a glazed mine, you will be "in touch" with the occupants of the house. Dumbfounded by happiness, the cat does not understand anything, when suddenly a landlord appears in the space vehicle of the brand Kleemann. The elevator car can be made of two glass walls (panoramic) or on all sides (panoramic). By the way, the price of an elevator in a country house ranges from 15000 to 25000 Euros and depends on the interior finish of the cabin.

The main characteristics of the elevator, which need to make a choice of equipment for a private home, are:
• purpose and type
• Lifting capacity
• type of drive
• rated speed
• cab and door designs
• finishing of the cabin, the doors of the mine, calling posts and sites.
The elevator for a private house can be freight and passenger.
Freight elevators are designed for moving loads, and passenger elevators are designed for lowering and lifting people. The difference between elevators, cargo and passenger, is the type of gearbox, drive and the elements of mechanics.
Lifting capacity and capacity of the elevator depends on its purpose, therefore for freight elevators it can be - 600 kg, for passenger - 450 kg with the possibility of placing 5 people.
type of drive
According to the type of drive, the following types are distinguished:
• hydraulic (pneumatic)
• Electrical.
Hydraulic actuator
The hydraulic drive is equipped with elevators for low-rise buildings. This is due to the insignificant speed and height of the lift. The principle of the hydraulic action of the elevator consists in the process of pumping oil into the cylinder, which creates operating pressure.
The pressure drives the piston of the cylinder, the movement of the piston in the structure of the blocks and steel cables transfers motion to the elevator car. It should be remembered that when installing the drive hydraulic, the place for placing the pump set requires little.
The main advantages of hydraulic lifts are:
• smooth and noiseless operation
• machine room of small dimensions
• Ability to install an elevator car in the presence of a single bearing wall.
However, the reliability of this type of drive is reliable, in the event of an emergency power failure, the elevator car will lower to the first floor and actuate the inertia door to open the cab door. The nominal speed of movement is from 0.15 to 0.63 m / s.
Electric drive
The elevator for country houses, equipped with an electric drive, does not differ in design from the traditional elevator in multi-storey houses. The electric drive of the elevator is considered standard equipment, for the operation of which it will be necessary to lay the power cable.
An electrically operated elevator is a high-voltage equipment, so the maintenance will require the presence of an electrician. An elevator with an electric drive will require a place for the installation of the winch. The machine room is located in a part of the elevator shaft or a separate room is withdrawn for these purposes. For elevators equipped with this type of drive, there are restrictions in height. The height of the elevator is up to 3.8 m. The nominal speed of the elevator with electric drives can reach 1.2 m / s.
cab and door design
Modern elevators in a private house are practical and stylish in decorating the cabin and doors. The walls of the elevator car are made using polished stainless steel, a false ceiling is used for the installation of ceilings, and porcelain stoneware is used as the floor covering of the cabin. Particularly impressive is the design of the decree post and cockpit indicators.
finishing of the cabin, the doors of the mine, calling posts and sites
An ordering post is a stainless steel module with a conveniently located digital cockpit position. Buttons and indicators are arranged in such a way that even a person sitting in a wheelchair can safely reach the main control buttons.
For control and visual control of the elevator operation, the following buttons and indicators are available:
• emergency door and emergency door release buttons
• indicators of emergency operation and car overload.
Calling posts of the elevator are located on all floors of the route. For visual inspection, the calling posts are equipped with a digital display of the cockpit position.
Many developers are often interested in the question: "Is it possible to make a self-made elevator in a private house with my own hands?". It is possible, but why reinvent the next bicycle when there are so many attractive models of elevators for a private house.
