Introduction
Singapore, a global hub of luxury and innovation, is home to countless high-end private villas. These residences demand premium home lifts that combine advanced functionality with exceptional quality. Recently, we partnered with a leading Singapore elevator company to supply 12 custom-designed residential elevators specifically tailored for low-rise private villas. These elevators not only met stringent safety standards but also showcased our expertise in delivering state-of-the-art home elevator solutions.
What Made Us the Ideal Choice?
1. Compliance with PE Certification and PTO Approval
In Singapore, home elevators must adhere to strict Professional Engineer (PE) certification and Performance Testing Order (PTO) requirements. To meet these standards, we implemented over 20 design and functionality upgrades, ensuring unmatched safety and reliability:
- Emergency Calling System: Built-in intercom for immediate emergency assistance.
- Overload Alarm: Alerts passengers when the elevator load exceeds the rated capacity.
- Explosion-Proof Valves: Stops the lift instantly if there’s a hydraulic circuit failure.
- Travel Limit Switch: Ensures safe stops in case of top-floor level switch malfunction.
- UPS Backup Power: Allows the home liftto descend safely during power outages.
- Door Interlocks: Prevents landing doors from opening unless the lift is level with the floor.
- Anti-Fall Protection: Stops the lift immediately in case of chain failure.
These enhancements ensure our residential elevators meet international safety standards while complying with local regulations in Singapore.
2. Seamless Approval Process
We provided detailed project plans, technical designs, and construction blueprints to ensure smooth approvals. By working closely with Singapore authorities and addressing all feedback, we eliminated potential delays during the PE certification process, paving the way for efficient project execution.
3. Custom Installation and Training
After delivering the first home lift, our technical team traveled to Singapore to oversee the installation, conduct safety tests, and provide comprehensive technical training. Each residential elevator was optimized for site-specific needs, ensuring smooth operation and an exceptional user experience throughout its lifecycle.
