Planning & Installation

Q … as in square

The mod­els in the Thoma Lifter Q series, with their sim­ple square base mea­sur­ing 1.2 x 1.2 metres, 1.5 x 1.5 metres or 1.7 x 1.7 metres and access on all four sides, can be posi­tioned accord­ing to your needs. The lifter makes opti­mum use of the avail­able space.

The shaft is already there

The sta­t­i­cal­ly pre-test­ed and com­plete­ly enclosed shaft struc­ture elim­i­nates the need to con­struct a sep­a­rate shaft. This makes plan­ning par­tic­u­lar­ly easy and saves a lot of mon­ey. The dri­ve and con­trol sys­tem are inte­grat­ed into the shaft head. This means that there is no need for space to install a con­trol cab­i­net out­side the shaft or even a machine room.

Unique flexibility

Simple approval

As the lift is deliv­ered and installed as a com­plete com­po­nent, only a few para­me­ters need to be deter­mined. The most impor­tant fac­tors are the exact posi­tion­ing and the num­ber and loca­tion of the stops. The shaft frame has already been pre-test­ed, so the indi­vid­ual struc­tur­al analy­sis usu­al­ly does not require much effort.

The build­ing per­mit process is also usu­al­ly straight­for­ward. The com­pact dimen­sions of the Thoma Lift fit with­in the spec­i­fi­ca­tions of state build­ing reg­u­la­tions. To sim­pli­fy the bar­ri­er-free retro­fitting of a build­ing, the leg­is­la­ture in Hesse, for exam­ple, stip­u­lates that retro­fit­ted lifts may not pro­trude more than 1.70 metres from the out­er wall of the build­ing. A dis­tance of at least two metres from neigh­bour­ing bound­aries must be main­tained. The height of the build­ing must not be exceed­ed by the lift sys­tem. This is where the reduced dimen­sions of the Q series come into their own.

Many options for a customised design

The shaft frame and doors are made of sil­ver anodised alu­mini­um or, option­al­ly, pow­der-coat­ed alu­mini­um in our stan­dard colours: white (RAL 9016), grey alu­mini­um (RAL 9007), dark grey (RAL 7043) or choco­late brown (RAL 8017). Would you like a cus­tom colour? We will be hap­py to offer you your desired colour on request. Like the shaft frame, the cab­in frame is pow­der-coat­ed in our stan­dard colours accord­ing to your choice: white (RAL 9016), grey alu­mini­um (RAL 9007), dark grey (RAL 7043) or choco­late brown (RAL 8017). Oth­er colours are also avail­able on request.

The shaft and cab­in walls of the Q mod­els are glazed as stan­dard. For out­door instal­la­tions, shaft walls made of safe­ty glass are rec­om­mend­ed.

There are fur­ther design options for the cab­in walls of the Q 1.7, such as a glazed side wall or a mir­ror mount­ed on one of the pow­der-coat­ed cab­in walls made of alu­mini­um sheet.

Ready for operation in a few days

The Q‑series lifts are pre­fab­ri­cat­ed as com­plete com­po­nents at our fac­to­ry in Frank­furt am Main. This enables us to guar­an­tee high-qual­i­ty work­man­ship and ensure that all com­po­nents are opti­mal­ly coor­di­nat­ed. Ide­al­ly, only a few days pass between deliv­ery and com­mis­sion­ing.

Good prepa­ra­tion on site is cru­cial. An assem­bly scaf­fold is required from which the fit­ters can work, as well as a crane to lift the Lifter from the trans­port vehi­cle onto the scaf­fold. Some­times the road in front of the con­struc­tion site must also be closed, at least par­tial­ly, for this process. Here, too, the bet­ter the prepa­ra­tion, the faster and cheap­er the instal­la­tion can be car­ried out.

There are var­i­ous options for fas­ten­ing, depend­ing on the type of build­ing and its struc­ture. As a rule, var­i­ous retain­ing brack­ets and angles are used, which are adapt­ed to the respec­tive build­ing and the instal­la­tion posi­tion. There is no tri­al and error on site with the Q series lifts. With care­ful plan­ning, instal­la­tion is a safe rou­tine task.

Quick and clean installation, even inside buildings
