2:1 Elevator Car Sling

The 2:1 elevator car sling supports the platform with the relevant pulley and suspension layout. Existing mounting dimensions and the corresponding mounting connections are assessed together against the current technical project drawings.

The 2:1 sling images show the supporting body, platform and pulley arrangement together. Pulley connections and spaces around the platform can be examined from different angles and compared with the existing shaft equipment layout.

Application and Product Selection

The car sling combines the platform, supporting uprights and suspension connections as one mechanical assembly. Elevator modernisation considers car dimensions, rail positions, suspension type and relationships with nearby equipment. Selection compares the measured installation with the proposed mechanical connections in the project, taking account of available mounting space and access to the associated components.

Examine the rope route, pulley positions, platform fixings and operating clearances together. Compatibility is not established by the suspension ratio alone; car dimensions and supporting connections are verified against the drawing. Pulleys, ropes and associated safety equipment are assessed within the same project arrangement before selection. Compare dimensions.

A product should not be selected solely from a photograph or a similar model name. Exact dimensions, connection arrangements, operating conditions and system compatibility should be assessed against current technical documentation. Images show the general product form and do not replace a scaled manufacturing drawing. Check the application requirements together with the variant to be ordered.

Installation Planning and Maintenance

Before replacement, record the position of the existing component, its fixing points, interacting parts and maintenance access. Installation and commissioning checks should be carried out by qualified personnel in accordance with the product instructions and the technical requirements of the project.

Inspection covers crossheads, uprights, platform connections and suspension points. Pulleys, guide shoes and safety gear connections fitted to the selected model are included in the plan. Loosening, cracks, corrosion or alignment changes are documented. Post-installation checks are assessed against the sling instructions and the project's acceptance requirements, with records retained for subsequent maintenance.

Keep the product code, selected variant, quantity, installation position and technical documents in the project file for maintenance and future sourcing. Reference photographs and dimensional records of the replaced component can also be included. This provides a traceable basis for selecting components for subsequent modernization work on other elevators with the same arrangement. For traceable product selection, record the measurement date, installation position, component name and revision of the technical drawing used to compare the existing assembly with the selected configuration.

Modernization Project and Quotation

When requesting a product assessment or quotation from Katrelift, share the model code, required quantity, a photograph of the existing component and the relevant fixing dimensions. Indicating whether the project concerns a new installation, maintenance or modernization helps identify the appropriate variant and the associated components that should be considered together.
