Platform elevators inherently possess numerous safety features, such as dual safety brakes, safety edges providing anti-pinch protection, emergency door opening capabilities, and various battery backup solutions in case of power outages. For the past 30 years, platform elevators have primarily been used in public environments, such as accessible facilities in schools, shops, and other public buildings.
In the 1990s, the implementation of new non-discrimination laws and regulations for people with disabilities created a significant demand for intelligent and cost-effective elevators, further driving market demand for platform elevators. Sweden was one of the first countries to comply with these regulations and maintains close ties with the platform elevator manufacturing industry.
