Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between hydraulic and traction elevators?
Hydraulic elevators use a fluid-driven piston to push the elevator car up and down, making them ideal for low-rise buildings up to a few stories. Traction elevators utilize a system of ropes, sheaves, and counterweights to pull the car through the hoistway, which is generally more efficient for mid-rise to high-rise structures.
What are non-proprietary elevator products?
Non-proprietary elevator systems are constructed using standardized components that are universally accessible to any licensed elevator technician. This allows property owners the freedom to choose any qualified service provider for future maintenance, repairs, or testing, rather than being locked into the original manufacturer's exclusive parts and labor.
What is a holeless hydraulic elevator?
A holeless hydraulic elevator utilizes pistons installed directly on the pit floor on either side of the elevator car, eliminating the need to drill a deep cylinder hole beneath the elevator pit. This is an ideal solution for buildings located in areas with high water tables, unstable soil conditions, or bedrock.
What defines a freight elevator compared to a passenger elevator?
Freight elevators are structurally reinforced and engineered to transport heavy goods, cargo, and equipment rather than general passengers. They typically feature durable steel interiors, vertical-opening gates, and higher weight capacities to handle the rugged wear of material handling and loading docks.
At what stage of building construction should an elevator installation be planned?
Elevator systems should be integrated during the earliest architectural design and structural planning phases. Because they require precise hoistway dimensions, overhead clearance, specific pit depths, and dedicated machine room spaces, early coordination ensures the building's infrastructure is properly engineered for the equipment.
