Lifts and escalators
Lifts and escalators are essential to accessibility and mobility in modern buildings – from offices and residential towers to hospitals, hotels, shopping centres, airports and stations. Deerns offers independent, expert advice on lifts and escalators for both new and existing buildings.
Lifts are the most common form of transport systems in buildings, and their design has a direct impact on user satisfaction. Deerns’ independent specialists bring extensive experience in lift design and consultancy, focusing on key aspects such as capacity, waiting times, accessibility, reliability and energy efficiency.
Transport capacity and waiting times
Lift simulations are used to determine the optimal configuration for your building, ensuring that transport capacity and waiting times align with its usage and performance goals.
Functionality
Size, operation and layout of lifts are fully tailored to the building’s function and specific needs and preferences of its users.
Quality and reliability
Deerns incorporates all relevant requirements – functionality, quality and reliability – into the technical specifications to ensure the right lift configuration for your building. With expert supervision during implementation, we ensure proper installation, on-time delivery and a smooth handover.
Energy efficiency
At Deerns, energy-efficient lift design is a given. We ensure that each configuration suits daily use while optimising energy performance: incorporating features like feedback modules, automatic LED lighting, and low standby power consumption.
High-performance escalators & walkways
Escalators, moving walkways and ramps offer higher transport capacity than lifts and typically involve little to no waiting time. This makes them ideal for high-traffic environments such as busy stations, airports and other public transport terminals. Due to their intensive use, these systems must meet high performance standards.
They are also widely used in shopping centres, educational institutions and large offices with raised main floors. Selecting the right type and design for their specific environment is crucial for ensuring smooth traffic flow, safety and reliability. Energy efficiency is equally important, especially considering their long operating hours.
" Users expect nothing less from lifts and escalators than safety, reliability and timely availability.
