6 Rack & Pinion based vertical access Rack & Pinion vs. Traction No machine room required No lift shaft/trunk required No wire ropes or oil leakages Drive motor fitted to the car Indoors and outdoors Curved and inclined structures Practically unrestricted lifting heights Small space requirements Simple drive principle = simple maintenance Descent possible also at power failure Shorter installation time 6

7 Alimak Industrial Lifts Developed to have the ability to withstand the extreme conditions of the world's most hostile environments 7

8 One may come across Alimak lifts in the Antartic 8

9 as well as in the Sahara desert. 9

10 Are you paying skilled men to climb stairs or ladders? No demand for a shaft full freedom to install a lift in your facility 10

28 Lifts in the Pulp & Paper Industry Aggressive environment, smoke and sulphate gases The first was installed in Skutskär, Sweden, 1966 and is still in operation 30 years later Hot dip galvanization / stainless steel components ensures long service life 28

29 Lifts in the Pulp & Paper Industry Process industries have to work around the clock without disturbances The m high digesters have equipment at different levels that needs to be inspected regularly Bleach towers and silos also need access for inspection and maintenance 29

30 Lifts in the Steel Industry This environment is exposed to large amounts of fine dust containing, amongst other substances, iron sulphide The Alimak lift is made to withstand the harsh environment Access for maintenance personnel to supervise and service key processes in their plant 30

31 Lifts in Warehouses Moving goods by overhead cranes or forklift truck has its disadvantages The truck is not always available Risk of falling objects The Alimak lift carries both personnel and materials Can easily be installed also in existing buildings Accurate floor leveling 31
