Hydraulic Elevators

 

Hydraulic Elevators or Hydraulic Lifts

 
 
Hydraulic elevators are generally preferred for the buildings not having machine rooms, the buildings having few person traffic, factories, shopping centers and villas.
 

This system consists of elevator shaft, elevator cabin, carrier frame, cylinder piston system, suspension gear and if any exists, counterweight system.

 

Hydraulic elevators are the elevator systems that its driving power relies on hydraulic pumping unit. Hydraulic elevators benefits from its own weight as they move downward. Generally machine rooms of hydraulic elevators are designed as being in the basement. There is an oil boiler, and above this boiler are a hydraulic system, control panel and pipes which hydraulic liquid goes through.

Hydraulic elevators are suitable for passenger and freight carrying. Hydraulic lifts may work between the heights of 2nd floor up to 6th floor and at 0,125 m/s and 1 m/s speeds. Single cylinder hydraulic elevators may carry all weights from 1000 kg up to 10000 kg, double cylinder hydraulic elevators may carry the weights from 10000 kg up to 90000 kg.  

Some technical specialties should be known such as the usage purpose, carrying capacity, range and dimensions of the hoist way to use hydraulic elevator system.

Important! Hydraulic Elevators should be overhauled by periodical and general elevator maintenance that authorized elevator maintenance firms make.  

Human life is more important and valuable than anything else.

What are the advantages of Hydraulic lifts?

Too many people do not know the answer. That’s why we pulled together our most important arguments.

 

Noise

  • Noise source can be placed in the machine room far away from the shaft (e.g. in the basement floor)
  •  

Design and space

  • A great deal of design freedom for architects
  • No constraints on doorways or the shape of the car
  • Smaller space requirement
  • Flexible machine room location 
  •  

Safety

  • Emergency evacuation procedures are very simple and completely safe
  • Secure use in earthquake zones
  • Safety during service and repair work, since there is no moving counterweight
  •  

Maintenance and service

  • Low-maintenance drive technology
  • No wear on pulleys and ropes
  • Replacement parts are seldom needed
  • Free choice of maintenance companies
  • Drive is easy accessible 
  •  

Installation

  • Simple and economical assembly
  • Hydraulic elevators are particularly suitable for projects where retrofitting is involved
  •  

Costs

  • For buildings with up to five floors, the cost effectiveness of hydraulic elevators is virtually unbeatable
