Lift for a student residence should be reliable, suitable for intensive use and compliant with current safety standards. This article explains which types of lifts are suitable for student accommodation and what should be considered when selecting the equipment.
Requirements for lifts in student residences
Lifts in student residences must meet strict safety and functional requirements because they are used heavily every day by a large number of people.
The main requirements include:
- Safety. Compliance with DSTU EN 81-20/50 standards, as well as emergency power systems and protection against voltage fluctuations.
- Durability. Lift cabin materials, such as stainless steel, should be resistant to wear, mechanical damage and vandalism.
- Energy efficiency. Modern lift models help reduce electricity consumption, which is particularly important for publicly funded institutions.
Types of lifts for student residences
Passenger lifts and passenger-and-goods lifts are the most common options for student accommodation. Each type has its own advantages.
Passenger lifts
Passenger lifts are designed to transport residents, students and staff.
Typical specifications include:
- a rated load of 630-1,000 kg;
- a speed of 1-1.6 m/s;
- a compact lift cabin with a width from 1,100 mm and a depth from 1,400 mm;
- the option to use energy-efficient technologies.
Passenger-and-goods lifts
Passenger-and-goods lifts are designed to transport both people and bulky items, including furniture, household appliances and luggage during move-in periods.
Typical specifications include:
- a rated load from 1,000 to 1,600 kg;
- a spacious lift cabin;
- reinforced doors;
- suitability for intensive use.
Electric lifts are the most common choice for student residences because they combine speed and cost efficiency. In low-rise buildings of up to five floors, hydraulic models may also be suitable in certain cases.
How to choose a lift for a student residence
Several factors should be considered when selecting lift equipment.
- Intensity of use. Lifts in student accommodation operate under heavy demand, so models with durable and reliable components should be selected.
- Lift cabin size. A standard passenger lift may be sufficient for a student residence. Where furniture or equipment will be transported regularly, a passenger-and-goods model may be more appropriate.
- Budget. The price depends on the lift type and its technical specifications. Basic passenger lifts may cost from UAH 450,000, while passenger-and-goods models may start from UAH 800,000.
- Maintenance. Servicing should be fast and readily available. It is advisable to choose a manufacturer with local service centres and quick access to spare parts.
- Safety and compliance. The lift should meet current DSTU requirements and include emergency communication and automatic door-opening systems.
