When it comes to safety and comfortability, Sakura has used the highest standard from Japan AMADA, integrating automated production and quality control and fabricating custom design elevators to pass the toughest and highest certification standards across electrical, mechanical, energy and safety certifications in advanced markets.

The company has found success in Japan, Greater China, South East Asia, and Middle East countries and has rolled out subsequent add-on features on their elevators to make them compliant with COVID-19 health measures implemented in the areas, delivering a smart, safe, and clean experience.

As a result of employing a team of personnel highly skilled in electrical and mechanical engineering, structural engineering, and elevator engineers and technicians, the elevators are easy to integrate into advanced smart features for intelligent homes.

Their engineering prowess has recently resulted in the development and launch of the world’s smallest home elevator, measuring only 80 cm by 80 cm and available in Japanese and Asian markets.

Safety, comfortability, and sustainability in one package

Sakura Elevators’ products boast an array of safety features aside from the additional ones implemented following the COVID-19 outbreak. Their elevator doors are UL USA Certified Fire Proof that can withstand 2 hours of a blaze in the event of a fire, whilst smart sensors implement earthquake and flooding detecting features that prevent the ingress and use of the elevator in the event of special adverse conditions.

Other features include the Unintended Car Movement Protector (UCMP), which acts as an independent brake system safety feature wherein the UCMP will stop the elevator in the event that the doors are forced open or faulty. This feature complements the Smart Fall Detection Monitoring System and Auto SMS Notification Maintenance Service that immediately notify repair teams in the event of misuse, power outages, elevator mechanical door failures, or medical emergencies inside such as fainting.

The company’s engineering teams are well-trained to understand and communicate the design requirements and constantly collaborate with the manufacturing teams to develop, design, and fabricate custom elevators according to the physical site, environment, and aesthetic requirements. In any case, Sakura’s Hong Kong customer service team provides end-user training, routine maintenance and inspection, faulty service monitoring, and 24-hour on-call services for clients that encounter any issues with their elevators.

Energy efficiency tests have also shown that Sakura Elevators’ products constantly meet increasingly stringent standards for consumption by energy-using goods, receiving TÜV SÜD Germany’s Class A Energy Efficiency Test Certificate. According to reports, the company plans to advance research and development in elevator design and customization options, as well as add more safety features and green energy features.
