Workshop elevator parachute or "fall safety system" is one of the important and vital components in workshop elevators, which is used to prevent the sudden fall of the elevator cabin. If the cable or the lifting system has a problem or failure for any reason, the parachute, by activating, prevents the cabin from falling quickly and suddenly and stops it at the same point or gradually.
نحوه کارکرد پاراشوت
Parachutes are designed mechanically or electromechanically and are usually available in two main forms: 1. Momentary parachute: This type of parachute stops the cabin suddenly. 2. Gradual parachute: in this type, the cabin stops in a controlled manner and at a lower speed to avoid sudden shock to the cabin and equipment.

The parachute of workshop elevators usually includes the following components: • Clips or parachute jaws: These parts grab the elevator rails and stop the car in case of a problem. • Activating system: This system is the mechanism that commands the parachute to activate. This activation may be done through speed sensors, safety cables or other electronic equipment.

Considering that workshop elevators are used in construction and industrial projects and often work with heavy loads and at high altitudes, the existence of a parachute is very important for the safety of workers and to prevent accidents caused by falling cabins. In general, the parachute is considered among the standard safety equipment of elevators, and its installation in workshop elevators is mandatory.
