Having worked on many projects in the Middle East, we know that Dubai always demands the very best. Buildings here are more than just structures—they are statements of quality, style, and precision. Elevators, as part of this experience, must reflect the same standards.
When our local partner in Dubai contacted us, the request was clear: they needed a passenger elevator that met full European CE certification, combining modern design with reliable performance. What made this project stand out was a unique detail—the door had to open at a 90-degree side angle. This was not a standard layout and required special engineering to integrate smoothly into the building.
The project immediately caught our attention because it combined everything we value: technical precision, custom design, and the chance to deliver something that would raise the bar for residential comfort in Dubai.
Project Requirements
From the very first conversation, the expectations were high. The elevator had to be fully CE certified, with every component meeting strict European safety and quality standards. The ride had to be smooth and quiet for daily use, and the cabin design needed to match the clean, modern look of the property.
The unusual 90-degree side-opening door added another challenge. Unlike a typical front-opening design, this required careful planning of the shaft and door system to guarantee both safety and convenience. The client was looking for more than just an elevator—they wanted a product that reflected international quality at every level.
Our Solution for the Dubai Project
To meet these demands, we selected top European components, including a Montanari traction machine, a Monarch control cabinet, and a robust European-made door system. The elevator car was built step by step under CE production standards, with constant attention to detail.
Our engineers devoted particular care to the side-opening door, ensuring it worked seamlessly with the rest of the system. We worked hand in hand with our local partner, sharing technical drawings, planning the shaft adjustments, and preparing every detail for smooth installation on site.
Before shipping, the entire elevator went through a strict factory inspection. We tested the car, the control cabinet, and the door mechanism individually and together to confirm that everything performed exactly as required. Only after passing all tests was the elevator carefully packed and sent to Dubai.
Result
The elevator arrived on schedule and installation went ahead smoothly. The finished system combined certified safety, modern style, and reliable performance. The 90-degree side-opening door worked perfectly, and the cabin matched the clean design of the building.
Our partner was very satisfied with both the product and the process. They noted how each step—from design and engineering to final delivery—was handled with care and precision. For us, this project showed how we can meet strict international standards while adapting to unique architectural needs.
Conclusion
Despite the technical challenges, this project was not just a success for our partner, but also a proud achievement for us. Delivering a CE-certified passenger elevator with a special 90-degree door design in Dubai allowed us to combine engineering expertise with the highest standards of quality.
