Product introduction

The POWERSTON SE series of passenger and freight elevators is trusted the world over as a reliable, hard-wearingdesign, providing an optimal vertical access solution for a broad range of industrial applications, meeting the highest stanclards. Whether the requirements call for transportation of key personnel and tools or bulky, heavy material loads, the POWERSTON SE series offers a wide array of functionality to improve efficiency and productivity in the most challenging environments.
Without a shaft or machine room, the compact design of the POWERSTON SE series provides efficient and practical vertical access.

♦ Industry mover and shaker
POWERSTON has been the industry mover and shaker in supplying elevators based on the rackand pinion drive technology for more than 5 years. An installed base of over 20, POWERSTON rack and pinion solutions across a broad spectrum of industries around the world, has given us a unique and extensive engineering knowledge platform based on each individual installation. Elevators from POWERSTON demonstrate their ability to withstand the toughest challenges, providing reliable access, anytime and anywhere needed, from silos, chimneys, and boiler houses, to warehouses, container cranes, underground shafts, hul columns, and derrick towers.

♦ Modular system
The enhanced efficiency delivered by the POWERSTON SE series stems in part from the unique modular design of the cars that provides a remarkable 5 different car sizes within the standard range. All elevators are based on a variety of wall panels made of the patented POWERSTON self-locking, aluminium profiles. These wall panels meet different elevator needs, and create adaptable floor and roof configurations. environments. The rigid and strong car door, which is equipped with windows, can be located on any three sides of the car away from the mast and is mechanically and electrically interlocked to meet all applicable code requirements. Stainless steel car walls and doors are also available for extremely aggressive environments. The car climbs on a galvanized mast tower. The mast is delivered in 1.5 m sections equipped with a bolt-on rack. The mast tower gives a slim installation profile. Ties are used for attachment of the mast tower to the structure. A one, two, three or four-sided enclosure with diferent door types can be supplied for each of the landings. It is available in either aluminium or stainless steel.

♦ Compact, powerful drive unit
The compact and powerful drive unit is located on top of the car itself, which means more useable space as there is no need for a separate machine room. The drive is comprised of one or two electric drive motors. There is a choice of direct-on-line control (DOL) or frequency controlled (FC) electric motors. The FC drive not only ensures smooth acceleration and deceleration, but also reduces wear and tear on elevator components such as brakes. Stopping accuracy on the latest generation POWERSTON SE with FC drive is a remarkable +/- 5 mm, a levelling accuracy ideal when loading heavy goods. The POWERSTON SE elevator is equipped with a centrifugal brake that allows passengers to be lowered to the landing below in the event of a power failure.
