LKB Series
A new generation of buffers designed to reduce carbon impact while maintaining full compatibility with existing elevator systems.
The Next Generation of Sustainable Safety: The LKB Series
The LKB Series represents the bold evolution of our industry-leading LSB range. Engineered for the future, the LKB provides the same world-class safety performance you trust, but with a significantly reduced environmental footprint. By combining fibre-reinforced polymer construction with a forward-thinking approach to energy absorption, the LKB is designed for the buildings of tomorrow – today.
Why the LKB Series is the Future of Vertical Transport:
-
Eco-Conscious Engineering: Achieve your sustainability targets with a solution that boasts 20% lower carbon emissions compared to traditional buffers. By reducing steel usage and eliminating the need for welding or painting, we’ve created our most environmentally friendly buffer yet.
-
Seamless Interchangeability: Innovation doesn’t have to mean complexity. The LKB is designed for direct “plug-and-play” replacement with the LSB range. With identical installation dimensions and force paths, you can upgrade to green technology with zero redesign costs.
-
Prepared for Future Regulations: Stay ahead of the curve. The LKB supports the transition toward water-based energy absorption, reducing reliance on hydraulic oils and ensuring compliance with the strictest upcoming environmental standards.
-
Smarter Materials, Superior Strength: Utilising advanced fiber-reinforced polymers, the LKB maintains total structural integrity while offering the lowest possible compressed height and a completely maintenance-free lifespan.
Global Compliance as Standard: The LKB series is globally certified (EN81-20/50, GB7588, EAC, KC, CSA, CE) and fully compliant with Lift Directive 2014/33/EU, ensuring your project meets every international safety and environmental benchmark.
