LifeJacket®

	LifeJacket® is the most cost efficient protection against hydraulic failure.

LifeJacket is the hydraulic elevator safety with machined arms that grip a falling plunger if the cylinder or hydraulic pressure fails.  It’s the proactive safety measure recommended for all hydraulic elevators installed before 1980…at a fraction of the cost of replacing a worn or damaged cylinder.  Since as many as half of all failures are not a result of a failed cylinder, LifeJacket is a cost-effective safety system for all hydraulic elevators.  And because LifeJacket’s arms do not damage the plunger, you can return the affected elevator to service as soon as hydro pressure is restored.
