A new product from a company in the Netherlands promises to make protecting the inside of lifts much easier and quicker.

Rather than line the lift with corrugated cardboard, as many companies do, it’s now possible to use a padded, sturdy plastic material that can be reused many times and gives a professional look.

The system can be assembled in just a few minutes using aluminium poles in exactly the same way you would erect a modern tent or awning.  After the frame is up the covers are attached easily using Velcro.  A special cover is hung over the control panel to ensure that operation of the elevator buttons remains possible.

The elevator protection cover is available in different sizes and the various parts can be re-ordered separately.  For more information contact Peter van den Brink at info@Liftbeschermingshoes.nl, or visit the company’s website for a video demonstration of how it works www.liftbeschermingshoes.nl
