Behind the MP brand is the Spanish company MAC PUAR S.A. of Seville. The name combines its two halves: MAC, for Mecanismos y Accesorios, a manufacturer of electromechanical lift components since 1970, and PUAR, short for Puertas Aragón, a door factory in Zaragoza that joined the group in 1994. The company has been producing complete lifts since the late 1990s. We supply, install and maintain MP lifts. This section brings together reference data from the manufacturer's catalogue, certificates and technical summaries.
The manufacturer in figures
The headquarters is in the Cartuja technology park in Seville. There are two production sites, both named in the manufacturer's certificates: the Calonge industrial estate in Seville and the Malpica industrial estate in Zaragoza. Seville makes automatic doors, hydraulics, mechanical assemblies and electronics. Zaragoza assembles cars, car frames and complete lifts; it is also home to the logistics centre from which equipment is shipped to customers.
Each year MP produces about 5,000 new lifts and carries out around 1,500 modernizations, and more than 165,000 lifts of this brand have been installed. The company has over 1,200 employees. Most of its output is exported; subsidiaries operate in Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania, Sweden, the Netherlands, France and Belgium.
What the factory makes
The core of the range is passenger lifts with a gearless traction machine. Alongside them, the catalogue lists hydraulic lifts for low-rise buildings, hospital and freight lifts, vehicle lifts and the Mobi platform lift with a car.
| Group | Series | Key data |
|---|---|---|
| Machine-room-less passenger lifts | MP GO Evolution | 320-1600 kg, 4-21 persons, 1.0 and 1.6 m/s, 2.5 m/s as an option |
| For existing buildings | MP GO Flex, Flex XL | 180-1000 kg, 1.0 m/s, entrances on two or three sides, reduced pit and headroom to EN 81-21 |
| High capacity | MP GO Mega | 2000-6500 kg, 26-86 persons, with or without a machine room |
| With a machine room | MP GO C, MP V | 320-1600 kg, gearless or geared traction machine, 1.0 and 1.6 m/s |
| Hydraulic lifts | MP H, MP ARES | 180-1000 kg, 0.52-0.63 m/s, for low-rise buildings |
| Hospital lifts | electric and hydraulic | 1000-2500 kg, cars for stretchers and for beds 90 or 100 cm wide |
| Freight and vehicle lifts | GOOD, CAR | freight lifts 1500-6500 kg, vehicle lifts 3000-4500 kg |
| Platform lift with a car | MP Mobi, Mobi HOME | 180-1000 kg, 0.15 m/s, up to 6 stops |
The figures in the table are taken from the manufacturer's catalogue for the base models. Car, shaft, pit and headroom dimensions for each series are on the "MP lift model range" page, and the platform lift is described separately: "MP Mobi platform lift". Another section of the catalogue covers escalators and moving walks under the MP STEP brand.
The panoramic version, with glass car walls and doors, is offered by the manufacturer as a finish option for the passenger series; it is covered, along with the other car materials, on the "Car finishes and options" page. For a building without a shaft, the catalogue includes a modular steel structure that is installed inside or outside. We also build glazed add-on shafts ourselves.
Drive and controls
MP makes the main components itself. The maGO traction machine is gearless, with a permanent-magnet synchronous motor: in the manufacturer's technical summaries it is a 5 kW machine for a 630 kg lift and a 7 kW machine for 1000 kg. The ecoGO controller has a built-in variable frequency drive, a car positioning system accurate to the millimetre and an electronic load-weighing device. The MP SynGO car door operator, the cars themselves and the car frames are also made in-house.
The traction machine brake is also certified as an unintended car movement protection device. When the power fails, the controller brings the car to the adjacent floor by its own means and opens the doors; no separate uninterruptible power supply is installed for this. Emergency communication from the car runs over the LTE mobile network. Controller parameters are read and changed from a service console. On request, the lift is connected to the manufacturer's sigma4lifts remote access platform, which shows the current status, event log and settings.
EU certificates
The manufacturer's quality system is audited by TÜV Italia (notified body No. 0948). There are four valid certificates under the Lifts Directive 2014/33/EU.
| Certificate | Module | What it covers | Valid until |
|---|---|---|---|
| EQSAH 014/3 | H1, Annex XI | design, manufacture, assembly, installation and final inspection of lifts | 20.06.2027 |
| EQSAD 001/3 | D, Annex XII | manufacture, installation, final inspection and testing of lifts; issued to the group company MAC PUAR ASCENSORES, S.L. | 16.12.2027 |
| EQSCE 002/4 | E, Annex VI | safety components: overspeed governors, safety gear, landing door lock, safety circuits | 02.12.2027 |
| EQSCH 002/4 | H, Annex VII | unintended car movement protection devices | 26.07.2028 |
The annex to the H1 certificate lists the standards to which the manufacturer designs lifts: EN 81-20 and EN 81-50, EN 81-21 for existing buildings with a reduced pit or headroom, EN 81-28 (emergency communication), EN 81-58 (fire resistance of landing doors), EN 81-70 (accessibility), EN 81-71 (vandal resistance), EN 81-72 and EN 81-73 (firefighters lifts and operation in the event of fire), EN 81-77 (seismic conditions). According to the catalogue, the base model MP GO Evolution has energy efficiency class A on the VDI scale.
Together with the lift, the manufacturer provides a list of safety components and the EU declarations of conformity for them. We carry out the conformity assessment under the Technical Regulation on Lifts (Ukraine) on site.
What we do
Work starts with a site survey: shaft, pit, headroom, door openings, power supply. The site survey is free. Using its data, we configure the lift in the manufacturer's configurator and receive a technical summary and drawings for the specific shaft. Once the drawings are approved, the manufacturer builds the lift in Zaragoza. We deliver the equipment, install and commission it and prepare the documents for putting it into service, and then take the lift on for maintenance. We work from Ivano-Frankivsk and Lviv.
