Permanent ElevatorsPE Series.

The PE series elevators are specifically designedfor use on ship-to-shore cranes and container/bulkhandling cranes in general.Thanks to its versatile design the PE elevator isalso popular for installation on permanent high-rise structures such as chimneys, off-shoreplatforms, towers and ships.

The general design is made in accordance with themost stringent guidelines, rules and regulations inforce for this specific type of elevator.

The elevator is made with carefully selectedmaterials. All steel components are fully hot-bathgalvanised while the cabin walls are made of highquality sandwich panels.Floors, panel links and rooftop are constructed ofheavy duty anti-slip aluminium.All of this will keep surface maintenance to anabsolute minimum while ensuring a lifetime oftrouble free operation.

As an extra all the electrical panels, cabin anddoor can be made in stainless steel (316L) to copewith exceptionally harsh environmentalconditions.

The base unit forms the body of theelevator and comprises of thefollowing main components;“carrier, cabin, drive unit, electricalpanels and base enclosure”All these components are pre-assembled, pre-wire, tested and readyfor installation.The whole is assembled on 3 mastsections including a buffer zoneunderneath the elevator carrier.

The buffer zone can be enteredthrough the enclosure doors.The cabin doors can be positioned oneither of the 3 available sides with afurther choice to have two doorpositions instead of the standard one.A pivoting door is positioned in thebase enclosure providing access to andfrom the cabin. All doors are fullyinterlocked with the cabinmovements.

The travel carrier is the centralstructural part of the elevator. Itcarries the elevator and its drivesystem.The electrical drag-cables are neatlypacked inside a cable chain systemwhich in itself slides in a aluminiumor stainless steel guide channel. Thissystem reduces completely any windinterference, which of course is of highimportance at greater heights and inwindy port environments.

The standard drive unit consists ofone, gear reduction drive. A frequencyinverter is installed to have a definitesoft start and stop situation.

The cabin structure is cladded withaluminium panels giving it aluxurious finish.The cabin is equipped with;• 2 pivoting doors equipped with

pivot switches to monitor theposition of each door,

• a brake release handle to lower thecabin in a controlled manner,through a centrifugal brake, in caseof an electrical malfunction,

• emergency stop button to stop allfunctions at all stations,

• landing level selection buttons,• central, battery backed, interior

light,• escape ladder.

This picture shows a standard type elevatorinside its base enclosure fitted on the factorytest rig. The bottom section houses the bufferstation. The red “L” shaped structure is used toset and seal each individual centrifugalemergency brake system.All De Jong elevators, hoists and platforms arefully tested before leaving the factory. The testsalso include a “drop” test.
