What is a traction elevator?
A traction elevator is a type of lift that uses steel ropes or belts and a motor-driven pulley system to raise and lower the elevator cabin. It’s commonly used in mid to high-rise buildings.
What is the difference between geared and gearless traction elevators?
Geared traction elevators have a gearbox connected to the motor, ideal for mid-rise buildings. Gearless elevators don’t have a gearbox, making them faster, smoother, and better for high-rise applications.
Are traction elevators energy-efficient?
Yes, modern traction elevators are highly energy-efficient, especially the gearless models with regenerative drives that save power during operation.
How safe are traction elevators?
Traction elevators are equipped with advanced safety features like overspeed governors, emergency brakes, and sensors, making them very safe for daily use.
What is the maximum load capacity of a traction elevator?
Load capacity varies based on the design and model but generally ranges from 450 kg to 2000 kg or more, suitable for both passengers and goods.
Can I customize the interior of the traction elevator?
Absolutely. At Kamdhenu Elevator, we offer fully customizable cabin interiors, including materials, lighting, flooring, and control panels.
