KONE firefighters elevators – EN 81-72:2015 compliant solutions

KONE solutions for firefighters elevators fulfill both the environmental and functional requirements of the EN 81-72:2015 standard. Our solutions include trap doors and ladders for rescue operations. All electrical and control equipment, their enclosures, and elevator operation in the event of fire meet the requirements of the standard.

A firefighters elevator can be used as a normal passenger elevator even if it has the additional protection, controls, and signalization to enable it to be operated by fire service personnel.

Contact your local KONE sales representative for more information.
