Vertical mobility improved with the GRL Flat Elevator for flat-roof buildings

Designing modern buildings with efficient vertical mobility can be challenging, particularly when dealing with flat-roof structures. Traditional elevator installations require extensive shaft space, overhead structures, and compliance with stringent regulatory approvals. However, the GRL Flat range of elevators by Felesa offers an innovative solution that eliminates many of these constraints, providing enhanced flexibility and efficiency.

Why choose the GRL Flat Elevator?

The GRL Flat elevator is a machine room-less system designed specifically for buildings with flat roofs, making it an ideal choice for those seeking to optimise structural modifications. Unlike conventional lifts, the GRL Flat requires no additional overhead space, allowing maximum utilisation of available space within a building.

No MCCAA application required - streamlining the installation process

A standout feature of the GRL Flat elevator is that it does not require an application with the Malta Competition and Consumer Affairs Authority (MCCAA). This significantly reduces bureaucratic hurdles, expediting project timelines and simplifying installation. The plug-and-play setup of the GRL Flat also ensures a faster, more efficient installation process, making it a practical solution for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
