A panoramic lift is chosen when the shaft is glazed or opens onto an atrium and the car is visible from outside. The Can - LIFTPORTAL range has two such series: the LPG with a machine room above the shaft and the LPWG without one. The main range of rated loads is 800-1600 kg, with speeds from 1.0 m/s.
Car shapes
The catalogue has four shapes: semicircular, diamond-shaped, rectangular and a car with a view on four sides. Standard cars have top and bottom covers in brushed stainless steel, a panoramic wall of laminated glass and glass doors in a stainless steel frame. Options include covers in "black titanium" mirror steel, acrylic domes with LED lighting and patterned steel sheet.
LPG: with a machine room
Speed from 1.0 to 2.5 m/s, travel up to 150 m. The machine room has the same footprint as the shaft. Below are the dimensions for a semicircular car and a speed of 1.0 m/s.
| Rated load, kg | Doors, mm | Car, width x depth, mm | Shaft, width x depth, mm | Pit, mm | Min. headroom, mm |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 800 | 800 | 1300 x 1680 | 2300 x 2200 | 1800 | 4500 |
| 1000 | 900 | 1500 x 1750 | 2400 x 2250 | 1900 | 4500 |
| 1150 | 900 | 1500 x 1900 | 2450 x 2350 | 1900 | 4350 |
| 1250 | 900 | 1500 x 2000 | 2450 x 2450 | 1900 | 4350 |
| 1350 | 900 | 1500 x 2150 | 2450 x 2600 | 1900 | 4350 |
| 1600 | 1100 | 1700 x 2150 | 2700 x 2600 | 2050 | 4450 |
The car height is 2400 mm and the door height is 2100 mm. At higher speeds the pit and headroom increase: at 2.5 m/s they are 2400 mm and up to 4950 mm.
LPWG: without a machine room
The traction machine sits at the top of the shaft. The speed is 1.0, 1.6 or 1.75 m/s, and the travel is up to 80 m. Dimensions for a semicircular car at 1.0 m/s:
| Rated load, kg | Doors, mm | Car, width x depth, mm | Shaft, width x depth, mm | Pit, mm | Min. headroom, mm |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 800 | 800 | 1300 x 1600 | 2200 x 2150 | 1450 | 4250 |
| 1000 | 900 | 1500 x 1700 | 2400 x 2250 | 1450 | 4250 |
| 1150 | 900 | 1400 x 2000 | 2400 x 2550 | 1500 | 4650 |
| 1250 | 900 | 1400 x 2150 | 2400 x 2700 | 1500 | 4650 |
| 1350 | 1000 | 1500 x 2150 | 2550 x 2700 | 1500 | 4650 |
| 1600 | 1000 | 1600 x 2300 | 2600 x 2850 | 1500 | 4650 |
| 2000 | 1100 | 1800 x 2400 | 2800 x 2950 | 1500 | 4650 |
The rectangular LPWG car is more compact: for 800 kg it is 1300 x 1500 mm in a 2200 x 2000 mm shaft, and for 1000 kg it is 1500 x 1500 mm in a 2400 x 2000 mm shaft.
Limitations
The panoramic series need a deeper and taller shaft than an ordinary passenger lift: a pit from 1450 mm for the LPWG and 1800-2050 mm for the LPG with a semicircular car, and headroom from 4250 mm. The factory does not offer a reduced pit for these cars; within EN 81-20 the values from the tables apply. If the building has a pit of 700-800 mm, a panoramic car from this range will not fit there.
A glass or steel shaft for a panoramic lift is designed together with the car, so the building drawings are needed at the very start. You can attach them to your lift request. Tables for all car shapes and speeds are given in the catalogue, pages 30-36; for a general overview of the range, see the "Can - LIFTPORTAL lifts" page.
