edish lift manufacturer Alimak Hek has added two elevators to its product portfolio. The elevators are said to consume less energy and reduce the cost of ownership compared to the first generation of Alimak hoists. The Alimak Scando range has an intelligent control unit, while the Scando 650 offers single or twin cars that carry payloads of 1500 to 3200kg and have a maximum lifting height of 400m, extendable on request. It allows greater use of hoist power, whilst achieving a 40% reduction in energy consumption. The final element is the A3, an on-site 'eye' and remote monitoring system that collects data such as number of starts and stops.
