The state program "Comfortable environment for persons with disabilities" implies a whole range of measures to equip public places with special equipment that is necessary for this category of citizens. The list of the main types includes the so-called elevators or lifts for MGN (small-sized population group), in simple terms language - people who can move only with the help of a wheelchair. The principle of operation of such devices is governed by the established parameters of reliability and, at the same time, ease (accessibility) of use. They are divided into several main types according to the scheme of their device.
Classic vertical layout
This equipment is arranged and works on the principle of a freight elevator. It is one of the most common and convenient to use. Can be installed as:
- A separate shaft with an elevator car, convenient for the wheelchair user to enter /exit directly from the street and on the desired floor of a multi-storey building.
- An open area for low elevation, for example, at the entrance to a municipal, public or commercial institution.
Elevator cars are equipped with an electric drive to drive it. Open areas can also work due to the hydraulic system, which smoothly moves it along vertical guides.
Tilting hoists
Lifting devices of the inclined principle are designed to provide the ability to raise (overcome) a wheelchair user to a small height - a flight of stairs, a steep climb, other obstacles that a healthy person simply does not notice and easily steps over them.
They are a lifting device equipped with a hydraulic or electric drive, installed at a certain slope towards an obstacle, allowing you to easily overcome it.
You can get more detailed information on the types and technical characteristics of lifting devices for MGN using the website of the company that supplies this type of equipment to the domestic market.
