Draka Elevator announced today that it has been assigned the exclusive rights for distributing SafeTach Elevator Performance Meter by Maxton. SafeTach measures speed and forces felt during elevator movement and providing duration time of floor travel. Designed to provide immediate real-time performance information by merely riding inside the elevator, SafeTach not only provides critical performance data it also keeps personnel out of the hoistway during operation.

“Draka Elevator is focused on providing the equipment and tools that our customers need to be more efficient,” stated Sterrett Lloyd, President, Draka Elevator Business Unit. “SafeTach is a wonderful addition to our extensive product line up for measuring and improving elevator performance while helping ensure technicians safety.”

‘SafeTach is an ideal tool for making sure elevators maximize energy efficiency while operating within the specs that are necessary for passing inspections,” stated William Shrum IV, Technical Manager of Maxton. “Draka Elevator has built a strong reputation for supplying the industry with quality, cost-effective solutions and they are the ideal global partner for further expanding use of this valuable technology.”

“The SafeTach Elevator Performance Meter saves significant time and money through improved efficiency for those inspecting, repairing, maintaining, adjusting, or evaluating elevator performance,” added Lloyd. “It’s ideal for use with Hydraulic, Geared Traction, Gearless, and Machine Roomless elevators.”
