SAFETY
you can rely on!
Always striving to be better; we at HALFEN have conti-
nuously developed and optimized our anchoring, reinforce-
ment and framing technology products. Success when using
HALFEN products proves we are on the right track. When it
comes to connections for the construction industry, one
thing is especially important: Quality!
This applies especially to elevator construction; safe and

adjustable fixtures in the elevator shaft for installation and
during maintenance are essential; and vital for personal
safety. Luckily you can rely on tried and true HALFEN
quality; our products for elevator construction ensure your
projects stay safe!
This brochure illustrates applications of HALFEN Cast-in

and framing channels as well as the HALFEN Lift-Box in
elevator construction. We show how you can optimize
planning your project with effective use of HALFEN
Products!
