The cost-effective choice for low-rise buildings

Hydraulic elevators remain an excellent choice for many low-rise buildings.

Powered by a piston instead of steel ropes or belts (as in a traction elevator), hydraulic elevators have fewer moving parts, which greatly reduces maintenance costs. Hydraulic elevators also have a high weight capacity, meaning they can move very heavy loads. And with new biodegradable fluid options, they`re more sustainable than ever.

Hydraulic elevators are elevators which are powered by a piston that travels inside a cylinder. An electric motor pumps hydraulic oil into the cylinder to move the piston. The piston smoothly lifts the elevator cab. Electrical valves control the release of the oil for a gentle descent.

Hydraulic elevators are used extensively in buildings up to five or six stories high. Sometimes, but rarely, up to 8 stories high. These elevators, which can operate at speeds up to 61 meters (200 ft) per minute, do not use the large overhead hoisting machinery the way geared and gearless traction systems do.

Faster, safer installation

We`ve streamlined the installation process to minimize disruptions and complete construction faster. Our installers use a scaffold-free setup, cutting down on preparation time and cleanup. In addition, many components come pre-assembled, increasing reliability and reducing the time needed on site.

Improved performance

· Built-in predictive maintenance (MAX): Optimize functionality and save time and money through automatic, reliable predictive maintenance.

· State-of-the-art pump unit: Our new electronic valve is virtually adjustment-free and improves leveling accuracy.

· Reduced noise: The power unit is sealed with a hardtop and sound-deadening material.

· Improved sustainability: Our hydraulic elevators use biodegradable hydraulic fuel, reducing their environmental impact.

· Stylish cabin interiors: Choose the layout, finishes and extra touches to make sure your elevator integrates seamlessly into your building.
