Description

A Powerglide Elevator is a high quality NZ manufactured lift, designed to meet all of the requirements of NZS4334:2012. It comes completely finished but can also be fully customised to suit the owners design requirements.

The intended use of the Powerglide Elevator is as a passenger lift for residential dwellings, medium density developments, smaller apartment buildings, retirement villages and commercial premises for low use purposes including people with reduced mobility, persons with pushchairs, walking aids, elderly persons and disabled access.

The Powerglide Elevator is designed and engineered for any car floor size up to 1400mm x 1400mm, square or rectangle.

Scope of use

This product's primary intended design purpose is for the following:

• Serving as a passenger lift for a single residential dwelling
• Serving as a passenger lift in a terraced townhouse complex
• Serving as a passenger lift in a medium density residential development
• Serving as a passenger lift in a medium density retirement development
• Serving as a passenger lift or disabled access solution for a smaller commercial building

It is also suitable and compliant for:

• Serving as a small goods lift in a commercial installation
• Serving as a dumb waiter

Limitations and Benefits:

• This lift can serve up to 4 floors and can travel up to 9.6m
• This lift can have a maximum car floor size of 1400mm x 1400mm and a minimum car floor size of 900mm x 900mm
• This lift can be installed in a new or existing building but must be installed in a weather tight lift shaft
• This lift does not come with its own lift shaft and the lift shaft construction is the owner's care
• The lift shaft can be constructed on the exterior of the building
• This lift applies very light loads to the building and can be installed in a glass lift shaft
• This lift runs on hydraulic oil and contains only 20L of oil, so no sump pump or drain is required in the pit
• The is no machinery above the lift car so no additional space in the ceiling of the lift shaft is required
• A separate small lift plant cupboard is required
• This lift runs off single phase power

Conditions of use

Residential Installations: This lift is compliant for all residential installations when serving a single residential dwelling. When a single elevator is installed to serve more than 1 residential dwelling, the installation will need to meet the commercial clauses of NZS4334:2012 and Powerglide will ensure the elevator is manufactured and installed correctly to achieve this.

Non-Residential Installations: In a commercial or public use installation, this lift would only be compliant if its use would be deemed as limited use. This is subjective as no clause nor the NZBC standard state how many trips in the lift is limited use. Therefore, if there is any doubt, the expected use type of the lift should be discussed with Powerglide and the building tenant prior to specification.

Design: The lift shaft must be designed in accordance with the directions provided in the Lift Shaft Builders Guide (available at www.powerglide.co.nz/downloads) and with the LiftCAD working drawings that will be provided to the architect and builder once the architect has determined the lift shaft size they require. This will ensure the lift can be installed to meet all of the needed requirements of the NZBC clauses for this building and the NZS4334:2012 standard.

Installation and Commissioning: The lift will be installed and commissioned by a Powerglide Elevators factory trained installer. A pre-installation check of the lift shaft and plant room will be carried out by the installer prior to installation and at the completion of installation a comprehensive test and check will be completed, and a written guarantee and statement of compliance will be issued.

Certification of Installation: Powerglide will organise and provide all producer statements and inspections required by the building consent issuing authority prior to installation and on completion of the installation.

Post Installation and Servicing: For lifts in public buildings, as the manufacturer of the lift, Powerglide Elevators recommend the lift is serviced at least annually in terms of the Building Compliance Schedule. Annual servicing will be undertaken by a Powerglide Elevators technician and Powerglide Elevators will engage the services of an independent IQP to inspect the lift and issue the relevant building compliance certification.
