Seasonal Weather Considerations

While moderate rainfall and hot weather typically do not pose a threat to a well-designed and properly installed Ittehad outdoor elevator, naturally occurring seasonal dust and sand can cause excessive wear and tear on exposed equipment, leading to higher maintenance costs. This is a crucial factor to consider when deciding whether to install an outdoor elevator. All elevator components exposed to the elements should be adequately treated and protected to ensure long-term durability.

Icing, Frost, and Wind Considerations

Icing and frost present significant challenges to the operation of outdoor elevators, particularly those intended for observation purposes. Ittehad Elevator recommends that outdoor panoramic elevators are not suitable for installation in areas where icing and frost are frequent. In regions where these conditions occur infrequently, it is advisable to take outdoor elevators out of service during such weather events. Windy conditions can also necessitate reducing the operating speed or halting the operation of outdoor elevators. For locations prone to high winds, installing outdoor elevators is only advisable if the shaft is fully sheltered from the wind. Therefore, it’s essential to ensure that a separate indoor elevator is installed within the building to maintain uninterrupted vertical transportation when outdoor elevator operation is compromised by adverse weather conditions.
