Successful type examination certificate

The shaftless vertical lifts UnaPorte and DuraPorte of the Austrian manufacturer Ascendor recently received their type examination certificates and as a result can be deployed in the private sphere for lift heights of up to four metres.

Up to now, the conveyance height of both Ascendor shaftless vertical lifts was limited to three metres. They can now be deployed in the private sphere for conveyance heights of four metres. "This was long since technically possible," the product manager Jonas Gahleitner reported.

"However, in order to distribute the lifts over three metres, they had to receive a type examination certificate according to the 2006/42/EC Machinery Directive."

Last year, the family company generated more than 16 million euros in sales - an increase of 9.5 percent year-over-year. More than 1,300 lifts were produced in 2024. As a result, the company reported that it could look back on its best financial year since its foundation.
