A hydraulic elevator is a type of elevator used in construction sites, residential buildings with up to 5 stops, with a capacity of 6 to 8 people, warehouses, and industrial buildings for lifting heavy loads. This elevator occupies less space, does not require a machine room on the roof, and is the best option for lifting heavy loads at low heights. Compared to traction elevators, it consumes less electricity.
A hydraulic elevator operates by using a piston to raise and lower the elevator cabin. The piston’s movement is controlled by an electric motor that transfers hydraulic fluid (oil) into the piston.
The following are types of hydraulic elevators:
Hydraulic elevator components are divided into two categories: door and rail, and installation:
Categories of components | Accessories name |
Door and rail | Jack type, Jack installation position, T9 rail, T5 rail, T16 rail, T5 bracket, T9 bracket, T16 bracket, Bolts and nuts (sizes 8, 10, 12), T5 clamp, T9 clamp, T16 clamp |
Installation | Control panel, work box, cabin door, mechanical arm, travel cable, duct 3 and 10, lubricator, floor and cabin push buttons, floor door lock, UPS, etc. |
A hydraulic motor uses a hydraulic pump to draw fluid from the tank and pump it under pressure to the hydraulic cylinder.
Some of the best hydraulic motor brands that Owj Lift works with are Vitor and Elmo.
The key advantages of hydraulic elevators include:
Hydraulic elevators are used in commercial and residential buildings with up to 5 stops and a capacity of 6 to 8 people. They are the best option for panoramic (glass-walled) elevators since the jack, counterweight, and other equipment are absent from the elevator pit, allowing for a clear glass view from inside the cabin. In duplex houses and villas with limited space, a hydraulic elevator can be an optimized system that occupies minimal space and does not require a machine room on the roof. Hydraulic elevators are also ideal for buildings with height restrictions where a machine room cannot be installed.
