OVERVIEW

Product Overview

The Spartan SPM 150-150L, SPM 200-200L, and SPM 250-250V Twin Cage Passenger & Material Hoists are advanced rack-and-pinion vertical transportation systems designed for high-rise buildings, metro projects, highways, infrastructure developments, and large civil construction sites. By integrating two independently operated cages on a single mast structure, the twin-cage configuration significantly increases passenger and material movement capacity while reducing the space, anchoring, and infrastructure requirements associated with installing two separate hoists. Engineered using detailed Finite Element Analysis (FEA), the Spartan Twin Cage Hoist range is built to withstand demanding static and dynamic loads in harsh construction environments. The systems combine robust structural design with high-efficiency planetary gearboxes, Japanese Mitsubishi VFD controls, progressive safety brakes, intelligent HMI diagnostics, and durable weather-resistant construction to deliver smooth, secure, and dependable vertical travel. Designed for demanding project logistics, these twin cage passenger and material hoists help improve site productivity, reduce waiting time, optimize vertical transportation, and support faster construction progress. With models suitable for different lifting capacities and heights—including the SPM 250-250V with standard travel up to 250 meters—the Spartan Twin Cage Hoist range provides a reliable, energy-efficient, and space-saving solution for modern high-rise and infrastructure construction.

FEATURES

Key Features

01. Next-Gen European Powertrain & 50% Energy Savings

Rossi or Nord Planetary Design Gearbox

Driven by a high-torque dual Rossi or Nord motor configuration. Paired with high-efficiency inline helical bevel planetary gearboxes, this mechanical drivetrain minimizes rotational friction and load inertia to achieve up to 50% electrical power savings compared to conventional direct-geared motors.

Japanese Mitsubishi Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)

Spartan provides a Japanese-make Mitsubishi VFD as a standard fitment—22 kW per cage for Low Speed (LS) and 35 kW per cage for High Speed (HS). The VFD converts current efficiently, eliminates mechanical motor jerking, ensures smooth soft-starts and deceleration, and prevents on-site motor burnout.

SMPS Control Voltage Safety

Onboard electrical controls run on a stable 24 Volt DC supply converted efficiently through a protective Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS) unit. This eliminates control circuit burnouts, vastly extending the operational life of electrical components.

Decent Wire Connections

To withstand harsh construction elements, all wiring connections are tightly bound using heavy-duty cable ties and sealed with protective glands.

02. Uncompromising On-Site Safety Systems

CE Conformance Standards

Meticulously designed and manufactured in strict compliance with European safety standards EN12159:2012 and EN60204-1:2006+A1:2009, ensuring the structural and electrical controls remain sustainable under continuous maximum loads.

SSD 3500 Progressive Safety Brake

The safety brake is fitted on a separate plate in the carriage. Actuated by centrifugal force, this progressive device automatically clamps the square mast rack to smoothly arrest the cage if travel speed exceeds normal parameters by 0.4 m/s or more. It features an automatic reset safety device, saving valuable time and maintenance efforts.

Government-Tested Electrical Panels

The SPM 150-150L control panel has successfully passed rigorous safety and emission testing under IEC/EN 60204-1:2006 conducted by an official government testing body.

IP67 Teknic/Telemecanique Limit Switches

Features reliable, dust- and water-proof IP67 limit switches (top, bottom, slow down, and final) with a spring-loaded entry door safety switch that halts hoist travel if cabin doors are unlocked.

03. Intelligent Telemetry & Superior Ergonomics

Industrial IoT Real-Time Telemetry

Powered by Spartan's smart Industrial IoT platform. Site project managers and Spartan's OEM technical team can remotely monitor machine diagnostic data—including total operating run hours, active power supply conditions, fault history logs, drop test counts, and lift halt positions—from an online dashboard.

Fault Indication HMI Display

Equipped with an intelligent Human Machine Interface (HMI) screen inside the operator console. The HMI provides running hour tracking, floor positions, active fault codes, and overload detection to speed up on-site troubleshooting.

Signature Top Open Roof Design

Signature Top Open Roof Design: The cabin features a top-opening hatch, allowing operators to easily transport exceptionally long and odd-sized structural components (such as scaffolding tubes, piping, door frames, and glass slabs) vertically. It also allows erection crews to add mast sections safely from inside the cage.

99% Unobstructed Free Space

Built with a specialized full-through cage design that leaves 99% of the interior volume completely free from structural brackets or internal mechanisms, ensuring maximum loading capacity.

What is the maximum rated carrying capacity and vertical height of the SPM 150-150L?

The SPM 150-150L features two independent cages, each standard-rated to carry a maximum payload of 1.5 Tons (1500 kg). This provides a combined site transport capacity of 3.0 Tons (3000 kg). The hoist is standard-engineered to climb safely up to a maximum vertical height of 250 meters, utilizing a standard square mast assembly (500 x 500 mm).

How does the Rossi/Nord planetary gearbox save up to 50% power?

Conventional direct-geared motors suffer from massive friction losses and high startup torque demands. The SPM 150-150L utilizes premium European Rossi/Nord planetary design inline helical bevel gearboxes. This mechanical setup minimizes load inertia and rotational friction, which yields up to 50% electrical power savings.

How does the integrated Mitsubishi VFD prevent on-site electrical breakdowns?

Traditional construction lifts draw high startup current surges, which drop site voltage and cause motor overheating. The SPM 150-150L comes standard with a Japanese Mitsubishi VFD (22 kW per cage on LS, and 35 kW per cage on HS models). This drive system converts startup power smoothly, provides soft-starts and soft-stops, completely eliminates mechanical jerking, prevents motor burnouts, and yields up to 50% electrical power savings when paired with our Rossi/Nord planetary gearboxes.

What automatic mechanical safety locks prevent the hoist cage from accidentally falling?

Worker safety is Spartan's core manufacturing mandate. The SPM 150-150L is equipped with the advanced European-designed SSD 3500 progressive safety brake fitted on a separate plate in the carriage. In the rare event that descending speed exceeds safe travel boundaries (exceeding normal speed by 0.4 m/s or more), the centrifugal device activates a four-point contact lock to smoothly clamp the rack and arrest the cage. It is self-resetting, saving valuable on-site time.

What is the benefit of the "Top Open Roof" design for our project logistics?

On high-rise construction sites, loading exceptionally long structural elements like scaffolding pipes, plumbing fixtures, door frames, glass facades, and marble panels is highly challenging in enclosed lifts. The SPM 150-150L features a unique Top Open Roof design that allows operators to easily transport big and odd-sized materials vertically. Additionally, it allows your engineering crew to safely install height extensions and add mast sections directly from within the cage, avoiding the high-fall risks of working outside.

How can we monitor the machine's real-time performance and fault histories?

Every SPM 150-150L features an intelligent Human Machine Interface (HMI) screen in the control panel, displaying running hours, exact floor positions, and overload detections. This console is integrated with Spartan's smart Industrial IoT platform. Site managers and OEM support teams can view and export real-time machine telemetry (such as total operating hours, fault history logs, power supply status, and lift halt positions) directly from an online dashboard.
