In scenarios where safety is paramount, particularly during a fire emergency,

traditional lifts often cease operation, halting at ground level upon detection of a fire alarm.

However, specialized firemen’s lifts, designed to facilitate swift evacuation and aid fire and rescue services, play a critical role in such situations.

The activation of the firefight lift mode is exclusive to designated firefighters’ lifts, a crucial feature enabling firefighters’ rapid response during building fires.

These lifts, governed by stringent safety regulations such as EN81-72:2020, undergo meticulous construction and installation processes to ensure compliance with rigorous safety standards.

Locally, adherence to regulations like SANS 10400: Part T further reinforces the reliability and safety of firemen’s lifts,

underscoring their indispensable role in emergency evacuation protocols.
