Description

These are used in high-rise buildings and are powered by a system of pulleys and counterweights. They offer smoother rides and higher speeds than hydraulic systems.

Key Features

  • Operation: A motor moves the elevator via a system of ropes and pulleys.

  • Speed: Faster, up to 1,000 feet per minute.

  • Efficiency: Uses less energy and allows for larger, more complex systems.

  • Maintenance: Requires periodic maintenance of the ropes and counterweights.
