Elevator Installation Project –Bas Roomless Monodrive Elevator Installation in Basrah, Iraq rah, Iraq

Project Overview

One of the most notable examples of Iranian engineering expertise in international markets is the successful execution of a 10-person roomless elevator project in Basra, Iraq, completed by Owj Lift in 2026.

This project featured a gearless Monodrive traction system, a luxury Monaco neoclassical cabin, and full anti-fingerprint stainless steel finishing. It demonstrates Owj Lift’s capability to deliver high-end elevator solutions that meet both European technical standards and modern architectural requirements.

The installation was carried out in a 4-story residential building designed with a neoclassical architectural style, where both performance and aesthetics were equally critical.

Basra Construction Market and Project Background

Basra, the largest port city in southern Iraq, has experienced rapid urban development in recent years. Growing demand for residential and commercial buildings has significantly increased the need for modern elevator systems.

Given the limitations of available building space and the demand for premium architectural integration, the client required a solution that combined efficiency, reliability, and luxury design.

After a detailed site inspection and technical evaluation, Owj Lift engineers proposed a 10-person roomless traction elevator equipped with a Monodrive gearless motor — an optimal choice for low-rise luxury residential buildings.

This project highlights not only technical execution but also the growing acceptance of Iranian elevator technology in regional markets.

Roomless Elevator System: Space Optimization Redefined

The roomless elevator system eliminates the need for a separate machine room on the roof or adjacent to the shaft.

Instead, all mechanical components and the control system are integrated within the shaft structure, typically in the upper section.

Key advantages:

- Maximum space utilization

- Reduced construction costs

- Lower structural complexity

- Improved energy efficiency

- Easier maintenance access

Monodrive Gearless Motor: The Core of Performance

At the heart of this elevator system is the Monodrive gearless traction motor.

Key benefits:

- Silent operation

- Reduced vibration

- Up to 50% energy savings

- Smooth acceleration

- Precise floor leveling

Monaco Neoclassical Cabin Design

The elevator cabin follows a Monaco design concept with a neoclassical interior style.

Features:

- European symmetry

- Modern minimalism

- Premium materials

- Neutral color palette

Anti-fingerprint stainless steel ensures long-lasting visual cleanliness.

Touch Control System and User Experience

Modern touch panel features:

- Hygiene improvement

- LED floor display

- Durable interface

- Easy usability

Safety Systems and International Standards

Safety compliance based on EN 81 includes:

- Overload protection

- Safety gear system

- ARD emergency rescue system

- Precise shaft engineering

Iranian Elevator Industry in Iraq

Iranian elevator companies are increasingly competitive in Iraq due to:

- Geographic proximity

- Lower logistics cost

- Faster support services

Conclusion

The Basra project demonstrates Owj Lift’s capability to deliver premium elevator systems combining engineering precision, luxury design, and international standards.
