Buffer Support Stands

The telescopic buffer supports are excellently suited for new installations, modernisation and pit refurbishment. 


The exact height can be adjusted in the pit. The buffer height can also be modified, e.g. if the distance, which the lift can be moved below the lowest landing, is changed.


The buffer supports consist of powder coated steel sheet. The buffer can be screwed to the floor with anchor bolts or it can be fixed in the pit with other stationary parts of the lift.
