Thyssenkrupp Access in association with their official Indian business partner Elite Elevators launched the new H300.
H300 comes with an exclusive elevator that uses gearless cogbelt drive technology and gives a silent and safe ride. This SIL3-certified lift sets a new benchmark for the home elevator safety. The vision behind developing this elevator with groundbreaking functionality and safety parameters is purely to fight the increased percentage of elevator accidents in India.
With no pit and headroom space requirements, the lift complies with all standard dimensions and configurations and also meets the most stringent requirements for safe accessibility. This lift comes with a patented metal shaft that makes it weatherproof and suitable for seismic conditions, making it the ideal premium mobility enhancement for private homes. The pricing for this elevator range is kept at a considerable economical level when compared with the retail price in the neighboring countries.
At a press meet held in Mumbai, Vimal Babu, Director, Elite Elevators, said that the demand for such lifts will come from cities like Hyderabad and Goa where there are high-end residents units. Babu explained that the advantage in installing H300 was that it could be retrofitted to existing houses. The company has also received some pre-bookings for H300, Babu noted.
In an interaction with T&D India at the sidelines of the press meet, Ms Vanessa Brown, Regional Sales Manager – Southern Europe, Access Business Development Division, explained that “Access” represented the home elevator division of Thyssenkrupp Elevators and had products like lifts, stair-lifts, etc. Access currently has its design and manufacturing centre in Italy. Brown was optimistic of the Indian market, not just for the premium H300 model but also for other lower-end ones. Speaking of the global market, Vanessa observed that UK represented a large market for home elevators including stair-lifts.
On the Indian business, Vanessa Brown explained that Elite Elevators was their exclusive business partner and the partnership was formed five years ago when Access entered India.
It may be mentioned that Thyssenkrupp Elevators, which deals with commercial products other than home elevators, is also present in India since 2002. It launched its first manufacturing facility in India, located at Chakan in Pune, in May this year.
