Control stations for inspection and maintenance in lift installations.
02
Tailored housings & covers
Fully customisable housings matched to devices, layouts and applications.

New · Push-in contact blocks
KEB boxes with new push-in contact blocks.
HQ-01PI and SD-01PI (NC), HQ-10PI and SD-10PI (NO): wire them in, then click them onto the HQ-BI base. Stack two HQ push-in blocks for up to four contacts per pushbutton.
By Installation Location
Where in the shaft should the box go?
EN 81-20 sets different requirements at each place in the shaft. Choose the installation location — we show the matching designs and what the standard requires there.
Car roof
The inspection control station fitters use to move the car from the roof. It must be reachable from the refuge space, protected against unintentional operation, and carry the STOP device close to the access point.
27 designsPit
The permanently installed control station at the bottom of the shaft. It must be operable from the refuge space and, alongside the STOP device and socket outlet, must also provide the well lighting switch within reach of the access point.
36 designsControl panel
Operating and bridging devices in the control cabinet or at the test panel — where door contacts are bridged for maintenance and operating modes are switched.

How to choose the right lift maintenance box
Start with the mounting location and required controls. Then select a suitable housing, control devices and power socket.
2. Define the configuration
- Housing size and number of device openings
- Required buttons, switches, indicators or signal devices
- Power socket type or a version without a socket
3. Prepare your enquiry
- Application and mounting location
- Required configuration and socket type
- Required quantity
Selection and retrofit
Request KEB selection support
Match KEB stations and components with confidence
Whether you are specifying a new KEB station or replacing an existing assembly, the function, contact arrangement, connection method and mounting situation must match. The model designation is the best starting point; for retrofits, photographs, dimensional drawings and existing labels provide valuable confirmation.
Which option suits your project?
| Option | Typical use | Check before selecting |
|---|---|---|
| Screw terminals | Established connection method for new assemblies or replacements within an existing wiring concept. | Verify conductor type and cross-section against the datasheet for the selected component. |
| Push-in terminals | Replaces any screw-terminal contact block. HQ push-in blocks are stackable (up to 2): up to 4 contacts per pushbutton. | Verify conductor type and cross-section against the datasheet for the push-in block. |
| Replacing a fitted station | Replacement of an existing KEB station or individual components where the fitted devices are documented. | Compare NO/NC contact functions, circuit diagram, cut-outs, mounting depth, button construction and socket version. |
Frequently asked questions about KEB selection
Which KEB series is available as an empty enclosure?
Only the KEB-A series is offered as an empty version. Other KEB series are selected as complete, fitted stations.
Can screw terminals simply be replaced by push-in terminals?
Yes. Every screw-terminal contact block can be replaced with the new push-in contact block solution. Choose the push-in block with the same contact function: NC (HQ-01PI, SD-01PI) or NO (HQ-10PI, SD-10PI).
How many push-in contacts can an HQ pushbutton carry?
Up to four: the HQ-01PI (NC) and HQ-10PI (NO) push-in contact blocks stack two high. The right mix of NC and NO contacts depends on your circuit diagram.
How do I choose the power socket?
Select the KPS version for the destination market and application. If no mains outlet is needed, an existing station option without a socket can be specified.
What information is needed to replace an existing station?
The most useful details are the KEB model code, mounting location, photographs, circuit diagram or NO/NC arrangement, connection method, socket, dimensions, labelling and quantity. Custom laser engraving can be agreed at the same time.

Key Facts & Highlights 
Safety, durability and flexibility for demanding inspection environments
Tread-resistant guard
The hinged side guard protects the devices from dust and impacts of up to 100 kg while still allowing the emergency stop switch to be activated. Its shape distributes the load across the station’s structure.
Modularity
The number, type and position of the device openings are freely configurable: fitting, labelling and power socket variants can be combined to suit. The modular system grows with the requirements of your lift control.
Robustness & Protection
- Recessed buttons and hinged guards protect against impacts
- Optional protective covers for large controls
- Suitable for harsh industrial environments
Laser engraving
KINRED uses a modern laser engraving system for its control stations. It eliminates the need for pad printing or labels, keeping every engraving permanently legible and extremely durable.
Power socket
The power socket is made from high-quality, flame-retardant PA6 plastic that resists deformation and fading. It offers reliable protection against wind, sand and rain, along with a long service life.
Pushbuttons
During inspection, car movement is controlled with one hand by pressing the direction button and the RUN button simultaneously. If several inspection control stations are switched to INSPECTION, the car can only be moved when the same pushbuttons are pressed simultaneously at all affected stations.
Standards & Compliance
Designed to the relevant standards for lift technology
EN 81-20 / EN 81-50 Safety rules for the construction and installation of lifts
IEC 60947-5-1 Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear
IEC 60947-1 General rules for low-voltage switchgear assemblies
EN 60204-1 Safety of machinery – Electrical equipment of machines
