MLB-K
Our MLB-K series is an extension of Oleo’s MLB series. MLB-K buffers are smaller and weigh considerably less than many direct alternatives for speed and mass.
Precision Tuning for Specialised Mid-Range Mobility:
The MLB-K Series
The MLB-K Series is the specialised evolution of the MLB range, specifically tuned to provide a premium safety interface for elevators with a mass range of 1,000 kg to 5,000 kg. Utilising the same elite gas-spring technology found in our high-speed ranges, the MLB-K offers a robust and highly targeted solution for mid-mass systems. It is the ideal choice for developers seeking the reliability of the MLB series with a refined mass-calibration for specific project requirements.
Why the MLB-K Series Delivers Targeted Excellence:
-
Refined Mass Range: Precision-engineered to bridge specific performance gaps, the MLB-K offers a dedicated solution for elevator systems between 1,000 kg and 5,000 kg, ensuring optimal deceleration and passenger comfort.
-
Space-Efficient Gas-Spring Design: Enjoy the superior performance of a gas-spring system in a compact envelope. The MLB-K is significantly smaller and lighter than many alternatives, maximising usable space within the hoistway.
-
Ready-to-Install Convenience: Our MLB-K 20-32 units can be supplied pre-filled with oil, accelerating your installation timeline, reducing logistical complexity, and ensuring the unit is factory-perfect upon arrival.
-
Rigorous Market Certification: Built to Oleo’s uncompromising engineering principles, the MLB-K is fully market-certified, providing an established and trusted safety solution that meets the world’s most stringent codes.
