Traction Elevator
Reliable traction elevators engineered for comfort, speed, and energy savings
What Is a Traction Elevator?
A traction elevator moves people or goods up and down in a building. It uses ropes, a motor, and a counterweight to lift and lower the car. This system saves energy and works well in tall buildings.
There are two main types: geared and gearless. Gearless models support high speed and heavy loads. Builders use traction elevators in offices, hospitals, and apartments. They can run with or without a machine room, which saves space and lowers construction work.
Traction elevators follow safety rules and work well for daily use.

Faster Smarter Installation
We pre-install the control system and wiring in the factory. This cuts on-site work and lowers error rates. Crews spend less time connecting parts and more time moving forward.
Our method lets teams install on many floors at once. This shortens the full project schedule, especially for tall buildings.
We design elevators that use a smaller pit and less overhead space. Builders reduce digging and limit changes to the structure.
We give installers digital tools with clear steps. They scan and follow each stage without guessing or waiting for support.
These actions reduce labor time, cut delays, and move the elevator into service sooner.
Supports Both Machine Room and Machine Room-Less

Enquire NowFAQ
The main difference is how they are powered. Traction elevators use ropes and a motor to move the elevator, while hydraulic elevators use fluid pressure to lift the car. Traction elevators are faster and better for tall buildings, while hydraulic elevators are typically used in low-rise buildings.
Traction elevators work by using a motor to turn a sheave (wheel) that moves steel ropes. The ropes are attached to a counterweight, which helps balance the load. As the motor turns the sheave, the ropes pull the elevator up or down, making it smooth and efficient.
The main difference is in the motor. Geared traction elevators have a motor with gears that turn the sheave, while gearless traction elevators do not have gears. Gearless traction elevators are more efficient, quieter, and require less maintenance, making them ideal for high-rise buildings.
Hydraulic elevators are usually less expensive to install, but they are less efficient and have higher operating costs over time. Traction elevators have a higher initial cost but are more energy-efficient, especially for taller buildings, leading to lower operating costs in the long run.
