Elevator in the house - a theory, complexity, the issue price

Elevator in the cottage - this is not a luxury but a means of transportation, when the owners often move between floors or lowered for food in the cellar. Well, if the house is elderly or sick people, then put a lift in the house - just a necessity. According to specialists, professional installation of home factory lift can be hundreds of thousands of rubles (depending on the model and the "bloat"). But, as the experience of participants Forumhouse, lift installation can be built, and himself, and the life of some models already more than ten years. The rub - how to make its operation as safe as possible. What will it take, and what options are selected Gameday - described in our review.

Types of lifts for private homes

By design, the elevators for a country house can be roughly divided into three major groups: electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic - the so-called airlift. Briefly consider features of each option.

Electric lift in a private house

The basis electric elevator (referring to the full industrial lift passenger) - a power unit which by means of gear drives the traction cables. On the ropes attached cabin, it moves along the guide rails. This is the scheme in the most general form of the catcher system, counterweights, pit and other important components will be discussed below. Electric elevator is able to reach a speed of 1.4 m / s is twice higher than in the "hydraulic".

The power unit can be installed either in a special machine room, and the top of the elevator shaft. In the latter case, the entire traction work falls on electric winch - with the motor it is mounted on the "attic" mine, on special beams. Such a design would require additional strengthening both supporting beams and the top dressing.

The main disadvantage elektroliftov their noise - winch will rattle slightly, anyway. In addition, it will require additional devices to ensure safety in the event of cable breakage (rarely) or turn off the electricity. But the elevator speed and the price will be more attractive in comparison with the hydraulics.

Hydraulic lift in a private house

IN hydraulic elevator system consists of a tank with oil and hydraulic pump, pumping pressure. The cab in such a construction raises the piston. Unlike electromechanical, "Hydraulics" less whimsical to install: the power unit can be placed even at a considerable distance from the elevator shaft. Normally, it should still be installed at the bottom, under the elevator: a retractable rod gradually lowers and raises the cabin to the desired height.

Pneumatic lift for private homes

Most modern model - it pneumatic Vacuum Elevators, have neither the pulley with ropes or a hydraulic cylinder. They are sealed capsule made of polycarbonate. Cab movement therein occurs due to the difference of pressure when the pump sucks air from the upper section of the cabin rises. Why special valve admits air "back", and the cabin goes down. According to the developers, airlift does not require any special elevator shaft or guiding or catchers - but completely safe. If during movement a sudden power failure, or depressurization occurs, the device will fall just slow down, to the extent that, as will be falling pressure in the pumping chamber.

The main drawback of airlift - is its cost. Price setting, even a simple model will start at half a million rubles.

Based on user feedback FORUMHOUSE, other options are slightly more accessible. According to the participant with the nickname of the portal UnogroupEstablish individual industrial elektrolift 2 stop with load capacity of 300 kg would cost the owner of not less than 400-500 thousand rubles in Moscow, though, at least in the trimmed region. In a comparable amount will pour a hydraulic lift with a two-meter at the bottom of the elevator shaft. But the elevator in the three stops - this is a pull and a half million, predicts Unogroup.

Unogroup (user FORUMHOUSE):

Based on our forum, the greatest interest in suburban Homebrew is exactly electromechanical lift: it is most easily done from scrap materials. But the "hydraulic" examples are also available.

How to install an elevator in the house: safety

The portal was developed hot debate about self-installation of the elevator is acceptable in principle in the house, or all of it is not necessary to do so. Arguments of opponents are clear: passenger lift - it's too complicated device to risk "samodelschinoy" and make the elevator in the house with his own hands. It is better to prefer industrial assembly and specialized enterprise installation. Lift your arms in the home - a bad idea because the user finds Maksimov.

Maksimov (user FORUMHOUSE):

Elevators do professionally for over 10 years. When construction began, appeared seditious thought - to put the elevator 300 kilograms, at 3 stops... is quite real for me. There are, of what to do, I know how to do, but quickly abandoned the idea. This home-made - a very dangerous thing. If a homemade car broke down, just do not go, then this device can be set in motion at the most inopportune moment. Who knows how many security systems should on modern elevators that agree with me.

Even if you install an elevator in the building, making everything as it should be, the design should be regularly checked, repaired, continued Maksimov. And in your own home will always be more to do. He dobavyaet that if a professional is aware of the danger of such a home-made, the members of the family and guests this may not be aware of the definition. So that all who wish to better to buy a cottage version of the passenger elevator - and regularly invite experts for maintenance.

For the needs of its own construction Maksimov I made with a hook lift capacity of one human power, with a lifting height of 7 m.

User Vodopad, Which also has many years of experience in the installation and maintenance of elevators, adds an important detail. Combined "passenger elevator" keyword -. It is the "passenger" That is entirely consistent with the requirements for moving people. A majority of improvised units - in essence, a purely trucksFor moving objects. Or, in rare cases, builders who "and so are working in hazardous conditions." And the house, according to forumchanin, this is the place where it should be completely safe. Even a simple home elevator for transportation of products provides a lot of mechanical and electrical interlocks. They protect against the ingress into the mine, from the opening of the door, from the inclusion of motion, unless the door is closed, etc. What to say about a passenger lift. Where non-compliance with basic safety rules can result in an accident.

Features of the use of lifting devices are registered in several documents, recalls Vodopad. First of all, it's "Rules for arrangement and safe operation of elevators" (PB-10-558-03). Also, there are state standards for lifting equipment: GOST R 53770-2010 (ISO 4190-1: 1999), GOST R 56421-2015.

To install the lift in handy, "Manual Installation", and for the service - "service for electricians elevators Instructions" and "Standard manual lifter."

Each rule in these documents, the user observes poetically, "written human blood." Abnormal or emergency situations are many, and each of them is impossible to provide in advance. Hand or foot passenger can accidentally fall into the gap between the shaft wall and the cabin - it is fraught with trauma. The cabin itself can become jammed between the floors, and then wait, wait until the pull out. Single story: children. Playing, they are able to penetrate anywhere - to go inside the mine at the time of device movement or stick your finger in any mechanical assembly ...

If the owner really really want to have an elevator in the house, but not enough money to "firm", that is another option - you can buy for a penny, and after a slight alteration - put the "b / ushny", but professionally made. It will be easier than to mount a new one from a different sort of incongruous parts.

Vodopad (user FORUMHOUSE):

In fact - do not require lengthening the last stop, the shaft height of its level is 260-270 mm with a machine room. Changing cabins - only in height, by lengthening the cab risers. Remaking Coupe cockpit, the landing doors - but it will not be difficult. Everything else is "iron" can be left virtually unchanged... Pit is almost not required, enough of 100-150 mm, the floor level will need to pick up one step. We have a real lift, certified, with the main nodes and elements prefabricated...

Start a device legally not work, the user emphasizes. But, at least, the soul of the owner will be at peace.

How much can do the installation of "home" elevator

Judging by the comments of some users FORUMHOUSE, not so much.
Before you build your own lift forumchanin TodaetoAs he claims, he rummaged not only in Russian, but also foreign Internet. The aim was to search for possible budget options, suitable for lifting both people and cargo. As a result, simple design cost him 20 thousand rubles. At the rate Todaeto, And about 30 000 he will need for the installation of fall protection. It will backup and self-locking cable pulley from ISC, he suggests.

Even less money spent by Viktar.

Viktar (user FORUMHOUSE):

If a person hears the word "elevator" that he once there is an association with a closed cabin, which goes up and down. If you hear the word "lift", the association may be many - from the car to the building. I pile aerial platform, which is now used as a lift. He walks me inside the house from the attic to the cellar. Lifting height from the level of the basement to the attic - about 8 meters. Money spent on the construction of approximately 8 thousand (pipe shaped electric winch + 60 * 40 rails).

Installing more complex (and be honest, safe) designs require increased costs. But with all the intricacies of the size of the investments hardly exceed 100 thousand rubles, the participants converge in the opinion of the portal. It is much cheaper than the "purchase" brand lift. What kind of lifting gear made in the house of our users - the second part of the article.
