What are some of the safeties on a Hill Hiker?

– Emergency stop button – on car and at each station
– Slack cable safety brake – in the event of a cut cable
– Speed governor with integrated safety brake – to prevent the car from traveling too fast
– Captured rail design – to prevent the lift from going off the tracks
– Car door and gate stop switches – to prevent the lift from operating if any doors are open
– Electromagnetic motor brake – for normal braking and stops
– Keyed or keyless security – to prevent unsupervised use
– Low voltage controls – to lower potential shock hazard
– ADA non-slip grate flooring – to minimize slip hazards
– Final terminal switches – in the event of over travel
