Key Features of McDonough Equipment

Patent Safety Brake Technology

Every elevator is protected from "overspeed" by a patented multi-disc safety brake.

Located on the car

  • Totally automatic safety device
  • Pinion mates with the tower rack and operates independently of the elevator’s brake system
  • At a preset speed, centrifugal force engages the overspeed brake discs bringing the car to a smooth and immediate stop.
  • Reset by simply driving the elevator in the up direction.
  • No special tools are required.
