Escalator Manufacturer Explains the Future of the Elevator

    Each Escalator Manufacturer has designed their products to allow them to use small gearless motors and cab suspension. Capacity, speed and limitations in the cab, especially for larger service lifts, limit the use of the product in a variety of applications.

    The MRL elevator eliminates the cost and environmental issues associated with hydraulic oil embedded in hydraulic cylinders. Over the years, hydraulic elevators have been subject to more stringent environmental issues due to buried hydraulic cylinders. Because the MRL elevator is a traction elevator, all its components are above the ground, so this is not the focus of the equipment.

    Until recently, MRL elevator products provided an economic advantage for traditional elevator products. Now the market is experiencing the price of some MRL elevators, which are more competitive and comparable than traditional gear steering elevators. Some manufacturers are trying to introduce cost-competitive products to compete with low-level hydraulic elevators. One manufacturer has achieved some success and the other has stopped their low-priced MRL products.

    Ensure easy installation

    The installation starts with the right choice. Before choosing the ideal elevator, consider the unique features of your website and architecture. Ask these questions before making a decision:

    Which side of the building will be equipped with an elevator? If a modular elevator is chosen, will an independent elevator shaft increase or decrease the appearance of the building?

    Do you have a crane channel? If not, the cost of modular elevators may increase.

    Does your area need seismic separation? In areas with high seismic activity, the individual structures of modular elevators must be separated from each other by a short distance to prevent collisions of structures during seismic events.

    The modular structure lifts the crane into your pit and the installer can do the job by completing the electrical connections and ensuring fire and human life.

    Ideally, the machine room should be accessed by stairs, but many machine rooms can only be accessed through ladders. The machine room is not intended for any purpose other than the machinery required for the elevator. When the elevator machinery is located on the top of a general service building, the equipment room should be located in a separate locked room.
