In my career, I’ve witnessed too many accidents caused by the shortcomings of traditional elevator safety technologies. These accidents not only endanger passengers’ safety but also bring huge risks to construction projects. Statistics show that elevator out – of – control runaway accidents account for about 30% of all elevator accidents. This figure is enough to draw the serious attention of every customer.
Customers generally worry that in case of a power outage or an emergency, whether the elevator can stop quickly and smoothly, avoiding secondary injuries to passengers due to violent impacts. This concern is particularly prominent among many building developers, property management companies, and maintenance agencies.

Elevator safety hazards and inadequacies of traditional technologies
There are quite a few loopholes in traditional elevator safety technologies. The previously used power – driven brakes fail immediately when there is a power outage and cannot provide the protection they should. At the same time, although the mechanical speed limiter can reduce the elevator’s speed to some extent, it cannot ensure the smooth landing of the elevator car, resulting in a violent impact during the impact. What’s worse, the buffer device often generates a large impact during a collision, bringing the risk of secondary injuries instead.
These technological flaws present a real problem for customers: in case of an emergency, the traditional elevator system cannot guarantee the safety of passengers and equipment.
Problems with traditional solutions
- Power – Dependent Brakes: Once the power is cut off, the brakes become ineffective and cannot provide sufficient protection.
- Mechanical Speed Limiter: Although it can reduce the running speed, it cannot achieve a uniform landing of the elevator car, and is likely to cause a violent impact.
- Buffer Device: The high – intensity impact generated at the moment of collision may not only damage the equipment but also cause secondary injuries to passengers.
These problems have become the most concerned pain points for customers when choosing elevators. There is an urgent need for a new technology that can ensure safety and reduce maintenance costs to solve these problems.
L J Elevator anti – runaway safety technology
Intelligent protection
At L J Elevator, we are well aware of the limitations of traditional safety technologies. Therefore, we have developed a new anti – runaway system. This technology does not mean that the elevator will “never run away.” Instead, it ensures that the elevator will not cause a violent impact due to accelerated runaway during operation, thus preventing secondary injuries. Simply put, our technology can make the elevator slide down to the bottom or rise up to the top at a constant speed in case of an emergency, so that it can smoothly contact the buffer device and stop stably, ensuring the safety of passengers.
- Quick Response: The system can start automatically within 0.3 seconds when the elevator loses power, rapidly activating the protection mechanism.
- Smooth Control: Through real – time intelligent adjustment, the elevator runs at a constant speed, avoiding accelerated runaway and the violent impact caused by excessive inertia.
- Predictive Safety: The built – in safety algorithm predicts the moment when the elevator car reaches the buffer zone in advance, enabling the buffer to intervene at the appropriate stage, reducing the impact force and ensuring the smooth landing of the elevator car.
These innovative measures not only improve the overall safety of the elevator but also add a solid protection barrier to every elevator – riding experience.
Tangible advantages visible to customers
Our anti – runaway system has the following major advantages that customers can directly perceive:
- Comprehensive Compatibility: Whether it is a hospital, a super – high – rise building, a freight elevator, or other special – purpose elevators, our system can achieve safety upgrades, effectively solving safety hazards in various scenarios.
- Cost and Maintenance: The full – series standard configuration means that there is no need for large – scale renovation, and it also greatly reduces long – term maintenance and replacement costs.
These advantages provide customers with all – round guarantees from technical to economic aspects, giving you more peace of mind and trust when choosing an elevator supplier.
Real case
Theory and data are important, but real – life cases can illustrate the problem better. Our anti – runaway system has been applied in many projects and has achieved remarkable results.
- Logistics Center Case: After applying our freight elevator in a multinational logistics center, the cargo damage rate decreased by 90%. This achievement not only reduced the maintenance and replacement costs of the logistics center but also improved the overall operational efficiency.
- Hospital Case: After using our system in a top – tier hospital, even in case of an emergency such as a power outage, key medical equipment and instruments can be transported smoothly with zero vibration, ensuring the smooth progress of surgeries and emergency treatments.
These cases fully demonstrate that adopting our anti – runaway technology can significantly improve the safety factor, reduce the accident rate, and bring practical benefits to various industries.
3. High – end Residential Case: In a high – end residential project, after installing our anti – runaway system, the residents’ satisfaction has significantly increased, and the property complaint rate has decreased by 50%. This not only enhances the sense of security of the residents but also saves a large amount of maintenance costs for property management.
Each successful case confirms that our technology can perfectly handle various emergencies in different scenarios, allowing customers to speak with facts.
Why choose L J Elevator?
As a company with many years of industry experience, I know that safety is the most concerned issue for customers when choosing an elevator. There are several reasons for choosing our anti – runaway system:
- Fundamentally Solve Safety Hazards: Our technology fundamentally eliminates the risk of violent impact caused by the elevator’s accelerated runaway. In any emergency, the elevator can run at a constant speed to a safe area and then smoothly contact the buffer, avoiding secondary injuries.
- Cost – effective: System upgrades do not require large – scale renovation. Customers can not only enjoy government subsidies and preferential policies but also significantly reduce long – term maintenance and high – consumption material replacement costs.
These core advantages are the result of our continuous innovation and pursuit of excellence, and they are also the fundamental reasons why customers trust us.
