Traction Elevators: A Superior Choice for Your Building

Traction elevators are an excellent choice for a wide range of buildings, offering speed, efficiency, and reliability. They feature numerous advantages over traditional hydraulic elevators even in two-story buildings.

Traction elevators use ropes and a counterweight system to balance the elevator car, which leads to much higher energy efficiency. The ropes are attached to both the car and counterweight, and they pass over a sheave at the top of the elevator shaft. An electric motor drives the sheave, moving the ropes to lift or lower the car.

Unlike hydraulic elevators that are often only suited for low- to mid-rise buildings, traction elevators are highly versatile, suitable for low-rise, mid-rise, and high-rise buildings. Their design allows for adaptability in various architectural styles and building requirements.

Traction elevators are capable of higher speeds and handling more weight, making them suitable for buildings of all sizes. This feature is particularly beneficial in settings where efficient movement of people is crucial, regardless of the building's height.

Traction elevators are designed to be low-maintenance and space-efficient. They do not require extensive machine rooms or oil reservoirs, thus minimizing space usage and environmental concerns. This makes them a practical choice for buildings where space and sustainability are priorities.

The design of traction elevators provides a smoother and quieter experience. They are equipped with advanced safety features, ensuring reliability and comfort for users in various building types.
