Traction elevators provide safe, efficient, high-performance vertical transportation for commercial, industrial, and residential applications. Our range of traction elevator systems includes geared and gearless options, designed to meet various load capacities, travel heights, and code compliance requirements. Traction elevators move using a system of steel ropes or belts. This configuration enables them to move faster than hydraulic elevators. They can also travel longer vertical distances at high-speed, making them ideal for mid-rise, and high-rise buildings.
Standard and machine room less configurations available.
Machine Room configuration is a proven system offering some advantages including longer travel distances, preferred by service personnel offering easier access to key components, and overall simpler maintenance.
Machine Room-Less configuration design offers space savings, and smaller overhead and pit making it a preferred choice for architects. Machine room-less elevators are a popular choice for low- and mid-rise buildings. Compact design means the elevator has a smaller footprint, giving buildings more usable space. In addition, machine room-less elevators tend to have faster install times and require less energy to operate.
With so many traction elevator options to choose from, we have the solution that will work for you! Schedule a consultation today and start accomplishing your lift goals with our world-class products and services.
According to International Building Code (IBC) Section 3002.4, buildings with four or more stories must have at least one elevator capable of accommodating a 24” x 84” open stretcher in a horizontal position, with no less than five-inch radius corners. These elevators are critical for emergency medical transport and must be clearly identified with the “Star of Life” symbol.
Fire Service Access Elevators (FSAE) are essential for high-rise buildings, designed to support first responders during emergency situations. These elevators meet stringent fire safety standards, ensuring continued operation during fire emergencies.
For taller buildings, IBC Section 403.6 mandates at least two stretcher-capable elevators with a minimum 3,500 lbs capacity. This requirement applies when an occupied floor is 120 feet or more above the street or fire truck access level. These elevators play a crucial role in emergency response, providing safe and efficient transportation for first responders and medical personnel.
Our Passenger & Freight Elevators can be designed to meet both stretcher and fire service requirements, offering larger cabins tailored for patient and medical transport while maintaining compliance with industry standards.
