The International Lifts Exhibition will be the novelties showcase. The Meron company will put on show its PVE Vacuum Elevators - new to the European market . An innovative drive concept has been used for these lifts. Lower pressure is generated with the use of a turbine assembly located in the elevator-shaft or mounted in an external cubicle. The cab moves along guide bars without any ropes, screws or chains (the principles is similar to the syringe's piston); thus the number of moving parts has been reduced to minimum.

 The self-supporting shaft is based on an aluminium structure filled glazed with transparent polycarbonate panels; this way the cab offers a full panoramic view. The  not only is the structure very light but it takes up surprisingly little space. A single-passenger model occupies only 0.75 m in diameter, double-passenger model is 0.95 m in diameter and the largest three-person passenger model (the latter is also designed to carry wheel-chair users) has the diameter of 1.34 m.

 What is more, none of the pneumatic vacuum lifts models   requires any structural changes in the building (no pit-bottom and pit-headroom as this is a self-supporting casing shaft) the the instalment procedure has been simplified which in turn reduces the investment costs.

Come and join us at the EURO-LIFT; call in the Meron's stand from 22 to 24 October!
