Small Shaft Elevator Core Structure

1

Dual Structure Design

Both machine room and machine roomless versions are optional. MRL model installs all driving components inside the hoistway without rooftop machine room; MR model adopts compact host layout to occupy minimal rooftop space.

2

Compact Integrated Traction Machine

Miniaturized PM gearless host with low vibration & low noise, no regular gear oil replacement, perfectly fit narrow and short overhead hoistway space.

3

Thin Wall-mounted Control Cabinet

Ultra-thin control box fixed on hoist side wall, does not take up car passage space, easy for daily inspection and maintenance.

4

Space-maximized Car Design

Ultra-thin car wall structure maximizes inner usable area within limited shaft space, matched with slim embedded COP to save car space.

5

Narrow Door Operator System

Optimized door driving unit fits narrow doorway without large-scale wall demolition during renovation.

6

Compact Full Safety Assembly

Overspeed governor, safety gear and buffer are miniaturized and rearranged, fully meeting international safety standards in small hoist environment.
