Shopping Center Elevators: A Matter of Traffic Flow and Image
In a shopping center, the elevator is far more than just a means of vertical transport: it is a key element of the customer journey, a reflection of the owner’s image, and a mandatory accessibility feature for public-access buildings. Designing an elevator for a shopping mall requires balancing traffic capacity, durability, aesthetics, and accessibility for people with reduced mobility.
SECA offers a comprehensive range of elevator solutions for shopping centers, malls, and large retail complexes, spanning everything from compact lifts to high-capacity panoramic freight elevators.
SECA Solutions for Shopping Centers
Panoramic Mall Elevator
The glass panoramic elevator is a signature feature of modern shopping centers. Visible from every level of the mall, it serves as a visual landmark and enhances the site’s appeal. SECA designs these elevators to measure, featuring glass shafts, dynamic LED lighting, and premium finishes tailored to the retail environment.
High-capacity elevator
For high-traffic facilities, high-capacity elevators (1,000 to 2,500 kg, 13 to 33 people) ensure reduced waiting times and optimal traffic flow management during peak hours. Call management systems can be integrated for multi-level sites.
Service and freight elevators
In addition to public elevators, shopping centers require service and freight elevators for restocking stores, deliveries, and waste management. SECA provides robust solutions featuring wide door openings and reinforced flooring.
Mandatory Accessibility for People with Reduced Mobility in Public-Access Buildings
Every shopping center is classified as an ERP (Establishment Open to the Public) and is subject to the accessibility requirements of the 2005 Act. SECA ensures that every installation complies with the EN 81-70 standard regarding cabin dimensions, doorway width, Braille controls, and audio announcements.
