Description

These elevators use a hydraulic system to lift and lower the elevator car. They are typically used in low-rise buildings with fewer than 5 floors. They are energy-efficient and quieter than some other systems.

Key Features

  • Operation: Powered by a hydraulic pump that moves fluid to lift the car.

  • Speed: Slower speeds (about 150-200 feet per minute).

  • Cost: More affordable compared to traction elevators.

  • Capacity: Usually up to 2,500-3,500 pounds.
