saves lives
when hydraulic pressure fails
Proactive safety solution stands
guard 24 hours a day
• Detects sudden loss of hydraulic pressure
• Locks around piston as soon as car starts to fall
• Brings car to quick, safe stop
• Locking arms do not damage piston
• Car travel can be restarted only by authorized
personnel
Hydraulic elevators can lose system
pressure and fall
• Broken pipes or failed valves:
Responsible for 60% of LifeJacket activations
• Cylinder failure:
The result of underground electrolysis at work actively
deteriorating in-ground cylinders; this can be occurring
even when tests indicate that the elevator is working to
required performance levels.
• Packing bind:
When faulty or aging packing fails to seal the plunger.
Spontaneous loss of pressure can result
in serious consequences
1. The elevator falls, even under a normal load
2. People are injured, frequently severely
3. The loss in damaged equipment can be staggering
4. You are exposed to costly personal injury claims
LifeJacket’s arms remain open during normal elevator
operation (a). When the unit senses uncontrolled
downward movement, the arms close immediately
(b)—bringing the elevator and its passengers to a soft
and safe stop
