JINAN, CHINA – June 16, 2026 – Shandong Cathay Machinery Co., Ltd., a professional manufacturer specializing in lifting and material handling equipment, has successfully delivered a customized 2.4m handicap-accessible home elevator to a valued client in South Africa. This newly installed elevator, tailored for users with limited mobility, has passed on-site commissioning and daily operation tests, earning sincere positive feedback from the client for its stable performance, thoughtful safety configurations and user-friendly design.
The 2.4m handicap elevator selected by the South African client belongs to CATHAYLIFT's classic residential elevator series, which is widely applied in villas, private residences and small public areas requiring barrier-free access. Built with mature hydraulic drive technology, the equipment features a compact footprint, smooth operation and ultra-low noise, perfectly adapting to diverse indoor installation environments. Its main frame adopts high-strength structural materials, while the protective guardrails are made of premium aluminum alloy and 5mm thick tempered glass, ensuring long-term durability and clear vision during use. Equipped with a silent hydraulic pump station and seamless guide rails, the elevator runs steadily without harsh noise, creating a quiet and comfortable riding experience for users with mobility challenges.
To prioritize the safety of vulnerable groups, this barrier-free elevator is integrated with a complete set of protective mechanisms. It is fitted with infrared sensor automatic door locks to effectively prevent pinching risks during entry and exit. Standard configurations including power failure protection, overload protection and anti-fall buffer devices fully eliminate potential safety hazards. The elevator supports one-touch remote control operation, enabling easy floor switching without complicated steps.
With a rated load of 250kg and a standard platform size of 1430mm*1000mm, it offers ample space for wheelchairs and accompanying personnel, fully meeting the daily travel needs of people with disabilities or the elderly. As a core product of CATHAYLIFT, this series of elevators has obtained CE certification, complying with international quality and safety standards for export.
After one week of formal use, the South African client shared detailed practical feedback. "We chose CATHAYLIFT because of its professional reputation in the global lifting equipment industry, and this 2.4m handicap elevator has completely exceeded our expectations," the client stated. "It is extremely easy to operate. The remote control works sensitively, and the elevator starts and stops gently without jolting. The quiet operation will not disturb daily life. What impresses us most is the comprehensive safety design. The anti-pinch doors and anti-fall devices make us feel fully reassured. The spacious platform allows wheelchairs to move freely, greatly solving the trouble of moving between floors for family members with limited mobility. The installation is neat, and the overall quality is solid. We are very satisfied with this purchase."
This cooperation further expands CATHAYLIFT's market influence in Africa.
