The LSB series buffer is a small, lightweight, maintenance free product, suitable for low to medium speed elevators.

Product Introduction

The Industry Benchmark for Passenger Safety: The LSB Series

The LSB Series is the foundation of Oleo’s low-speed safety range, engineered specifically for standard, low-mass passenger elevators. As a small, lightweight, and maintenance-free solution, it provides a seamless blend of proven reliability and effortless integration. By combining a precision mechanical return spring with our world-class hydraulic dissipation, the LSB ensures a smooth, secure stop for everyday vertical transport.

Why the LSB Series Defines the Standard:

  • Optimised for Passenger Comfort: Specifically tuned for low-mass cars to minimise G-force impact, ensuring the highest level of passenger protection and comfort.

  • The Original Space-Saver: Designed with the smallest possible space envelope, the LSB is the go-to choice for architects and consultants looking to maximise hoistway efficiency.

  • Total Peace of Mind: Fully self-contained and virtually maintenance-free, these units are globally certified (EN81-20/50, ASME A17.1, GB7588) and ready to perform for the life of the elevator.

  • Streamlined Deployment: Shipped oil-filled and ready for immediate installation, the LSB series reduces logistics complexity and ensures your project stays on schedule and under budget.
