Traction elevators are the outcome of this advanced technology, and they have emerged as the key player that allows older people and people with mobility issues to access the upper floors of a high-rise building. This post discusses the main functionality of these traction elevators, and we will also go through the pros and cons. WHAT IS A TRACTION ELEVATOR? The traction lift offered by any elevator service company is also referred to as a cable lift, counterweight lift, or rope lift. The main components of a traction elevator are –  Cables or ropes A sheave or pulley Counterweight Motor Some traction lifts also have gears between the motor and the sheave, while some lifts are directly connecting the motor and the sheave. The cable ropes are made from solid stainless steel for enhanced safety....

                     Image Source:   https://www.oldmateelevators.com.au/commercial/ We all use hydraulic lifts and elevators very frequently in our daily lives. But only some of us are aware of how these elevators function. A wonderful scientific approach works behind the overall functioning of these hydraulic lifts or elevators. Let us understand this science in this blog post. WHAT IS A HYDRAULIC LIFT? A hydraulic lift is a heavy-duty elevator built for long-term and frequent use. It has a straightforward working mechanism that involves using hydraulic power for controlling and power generation. They are accommodating in moving people and goods vertically, and this is mainly due to the piston that moves inside the cylinder. An electric motor is installed to pump the oil into the cylinder with immense pressure that moves the piston up to elevate the hydraulic lift.  According to experts in lift modernisation works...

There is always a kind of argument going on between those favouring traction elevators and those in the favour of hydraulic elevators.  Both these options are better in several terms, but since there is always another side of the coin; both these versions have their share of cons or disadvantages as well. Here in this post, we will study the both sides of these two versions to eventually find out as to which one is the better one of the two. TRACTION ELEVATORS- One of the biggest differences between hydraulic and traction elevators is in the way in which the cab travels. In the traction elevators, the cab can be raised or lowered by the help of steel ropes or belts that run on the pulley system. Because of this system, this version uses less energy, can serve mid to high-rise buildings and moreover, they even ride smoother.  One more point is that because of these mechanisms, the motor doesn’t have to move as much weight, making it much more energy efficient than hydraulic sys...

A number of things could influence the overall cost of getting commercial lifts installed and therefore, it is very important that before you get one installed, you carry out a small research. This research should be basically on whether the chosen lift is going to fit your purpose not and what would be the overall cost of this installation. Here in this post, we will have a look at some common factors that will influence the final cost.  The Basic Points To Consider Are: Meeting the Codes According to the experts, no matter they are home or office lifts or residential or commercial lifts , it is very important that they meet the Building Code of Australia for Disabled Access.  However, an important point to take into note is that this will vary depending upon the application and here, a building surveyor would be able to tell you about the mandatory requirements of a project. At the same time, the residential, as well as commercial lifts, must conform to a rec...

In a commercial building, it is said that an elevator or lift consume only 5-7 percent of the total electricity, but this too can be saved by a number of steps. The best thing about these steps is they work equally on commercial as well as residential elevators and lifts for houses and some important points have been mentioned here. Hardware Improvements With several small and major improvements of the overall mechanism or the hardware, you can make sure that commercial, as well as residential lifts, can be made to consume less electricity. The biggest step you could take is replacing the old school hydraulic lift with a traction elevator that travels up and down on a steel rope. With traction lifts, you will not require a dedicated machine room because the entire mechanism or machine is kept on the top of the cabin. This way, you actually get a more usable space, less heat and consumes less energy. Other Hardware Improvements you could make include –  Mot...
