EMKA's commitment to quality and innovation has solidified its position as a trusted partner in the global market.
EMKA’s product portfolio has a recent addition: the emergency hammer compliant with DIN EN 45545-2 HL3. EMKA has developed a robust product specifically for rail vehicles. In trains, in particular, the safety demands are exceptionally high, including the need for the “little lifesavers“. Besides the impact effect, compliance with the European fire protection standard is mandatory. In order to fulfil these systems, EMKA uses a special plastic.
In particular, high-quality locking technology is usually installed in hazardous areas, but the handles often protrude too far from the door’s surface. EMKA’s flat swinghandle protrudes only 9 mm from the cabinet’s surface and is ideal for areas with narrow passageways, escape routes, or design-oriented enclosures. But in addition to safety and design, EMKA has also considered installation convenience and made it possible to replace the respective locking device from the front of the cabinet – without time-consuming disassembly of the entire handle – but simply through the removal of the two bottom screws.
