Frequently Asked Questions
What certification standards apply to hydraulic elevators from Turkey?
Hydraulic elevators exported through elevator.tr are fully certified to EN 81-20 and EN 81-50 with CE marking. EN 81-20 encompasses specific requirements for hydraulic elevator safety systems including burst valve protection, pressure relief, and emergency lowering. All required third-party test reports from accredited notified bodies are available as part of the standard documentation package provided to buyers.
What load capacities are available for hydraulic elevators?
Turkish hydraulic elevator manufacturers on elevator.tr offer capacities from 400 kg for light passenger applications up to 10,000 kg and above for heavy-duty industrial and vehicle platform lifts. Standard passenger hydraulic configurations are available at 630 kg, 1,000 kg, and 1,600 kg. Oversized car dimensions and custom platform layouts for vehicle or equipment lifts are regularly engineered to buyer specifications.
Are there environmentally friendly hydraulic fluid options?
Yes. Most manufacturers on elevator.tr offer hydraulic systems designed for use with biodegradable and fire-resistant hydraulic fluids, including HEES (synthetic ester) and HETG (vegetable oil-based) types. These options are increasingly required for installations in environmentally sensitive zones, buildings pursuing LEED or BREEAM certification, and certain European municipal procurement specifications. Confirm fluid compatibility requirements in your RFQ.
What is the typical lead time and what shipping terms are offered?
Standard hydraulic elevator systems ship within 8 to 12 weeks of order confirmation. Heavy-duty industrial units with large-bore cylinders or custom platform dimensions may require 14 to 18 weeks. Turkish manufacturers are experienced exporters and can accommodate FOB, CIF, CPT, and DAP Incoterms. Cylinder and power unit assemblies are typically crated separately for safe ocean or road freight transit.
