Elevator rescue by alcomtec

Whether due to a power outage, technical malfunction, or emergency — being trapped in an elevator is an extreme situation. Our professional, certified emergency response teams ensure a quick and safe rescue around the clock.

  • Your safety is our mission

    In an emergency, every second counts. If people are trapped in an elevator, our certified emergency response teams ensure a quick and professional rescue.

    Our 24/7 emergency call center guarantees immediate response to alerts and promptly coordinates the necessary measures for rescue. We arrive on-site in the shortest possible time — for maximum safety and minimal wait time.

    • Certified emergency response teams
    • Fast and professional rescue
    • 24/7 emergency call center
  • Rapid assistance in accordance with legal requirements

    In Austria, the rapid rescue of people trapped in elevators is regulated by law. The operator must ensure that people trapped in or on the elevator car are rescued immediately, with rescue operations beginning no later than 30 minutes after the emergency call is made (Vienna Elevator Act §12. (10)).

    Operators of elevator systems are required to employ either their own elevator attendants or specialized service providers connected to a 24/7 emergency call center.

How a passenger rescue operation proceeds

If your elevator emergency communication system is connected to our network, our emergency call center will coordinate the rescue upon receiving an emergency call. Trained and certified professionals are dispatched to immediately and safely rescue the trapped individuals — with care for both the people and the elevator.

If a child is in the cabin, the voice connection is maintained until the emergency response driver arrives — a unique service from alcomtec designed to ensure maximum safety and peace of mind.

Subsequently, the elevator is taken out of service in accordance with regulations by our TÜV-certified emergency response team, the operator is informed, and warning signs are posted at all entry points. The successful completion of the rescue is signaled to the emergency call center by the emergency response driver pressing an “End Call” button or placing a new emergency call. The operation is fully documented, and a detailed report is sent to all contacts listed in the emergency response plan.
