Buffers
Protect your lift system at every critical stop.
About buffers
Buffers form the final line of defence in your lift safety system. They absorb kinetic energy when the braking system fails.
Our comprehensive range includes hydraulic, polyurethane and spring buffers engineered to EN81 standards. Each buffer undergoes rigorous testing to protect your passengers and equipment during emergency stops. They provide controlled deceleration that prevents injury and minimises damage to your equipment and lift shafts. We supply solutions for every application, from low-rise residential installations to high-speed commercial systems. Browse our full range below.
