Zero Hallway Footprint: Turning the Door Frame into the Controller Cabinet

In MRL (Machine Room Less) elevators, saving space outside the shaft is a game-changer for modern architectural layouts. MoviLift completely eliminates the bulky traditional external cabinet by utilizing a space that is already there: the elevator door frame.

By splitting the system architecture, we maximize building real estate without compromising on functionality:

Logic Unit in the Door Frame: 

The control board, maintenance interface, and diagnostics are hidden directly inside the top-floor door frame. This delivers zero structural impact in the hallways while providing quick, comfortable access for the technician.

Power Unit in the Top Floor Wall:

The inverter and high-voltage components are housed separately inside the top-floor wall, keeping the shaft footprint incredibly compact and safely isolating high-power elements.

Less space, more intelligence. 

Our frame-integrated solution ensures cleaner architectural lines and significantly faster on-site installation.

Innovation. Safety. Made in Italy.
