Machine
Our elevator is driven by the smallest gearless machine in the industry. It only weighs 90 lbs and is so small that it fits in the space between the hoistway wall and the car, so that the car can override the machinery. The motor is a high performance Permanent Magnet Synchronous, similar to those driving high speed elevators. It doesn’t need any maintenance, in particular no oil is needed. It has a brake on the low speed shaft and is absolutely quiet when running. Those are distinct advantages of our machine versus the geared machines used by competitors in this industry. Geared machines are known to be noisy, unsafe (brake on high speed shaft) and require maintenance (oil). |

Rail System
We are using a modular rail system with 4 T rails (2 for the counterweight + 2 for the car). We can supply any travel height in ½ foot increment without having to cut any rail because we keep in stock an assortment of rail lengths. We deliver to the site pre-assembled rail modules to allow a fast installation. Typically our elevator can be assembled in 2 days with 2 men. |

Controller
Our controller is compliant to A17.1 section 5 and is UL certified. It operates the elevator with the highest level of safety. We are using a commercial elevator board with extensive capabilities. We also offer a full battery back up which is much more than the common rescue or “battery lowering”. If the power shuts down while the elevator is running at full speed and full load, it will just keep running at full speed as if nothing happened, and will keep running for hours on the battery. |

Fixtures
You will receive with our elevator the best looking fixture in the industry. Besides our standard design we can also supply any custom design you need. Your imagination is the limit. |
