Lift modernisation in a Norwegian office building
As a designer and manufacturer of complete lift systems, IMEM also offers the tailor-made modernisation of existing lifts. A good example is a project that we undertook for our most important client in Norway, a well-established company with a major role in their lift modernisation market.
This project, in an emblematic modern office building, involved refurbishing an existing lift system and converting it to duplex operation by adding a second lift, our machine-roomless Silens Pro Vanguard II, with eight stops, a panoramic car and the entire lift shaft open to view. The modernised lift serves 13 stops, with a 1000Kg/13-passenger load capacity, two entrances at 180º and a speed of 1.6m/s.
