Types of Elevator Systems We Install

Traction Elevators

Traction elevators are the most common type of elevator system used in mid to high-rise buildings. These elevators operate using a system of ropes and counterweights, driven by an electric motor. Vaughan Elevator Company installs both geared and gearless traction elevators, depending on the building's height and usage requirements. Traction elevators are known for their smooth ride, energy efficiency, and ability to service tall buildings.

Hydraulic Elevators

Hydraulic elevators are typically used in low to mid-rise buildings and are powered by a hydraulic cylinder that moves the elevator car up and down. These elevators are ideal for buildings with up to six floors and offer a cost-effective solution for residential and commercial properties. Vaughan Elevator Company specializes in installing modern hydraulic systems that are reliable, safe, and require less space than traditional traction elevators.

Machine-Room-Less (MRL) Elevators

Machine-Room-Less elevators are a popular choice for buildings with limited space. As the name suggests, MRL elevators do not require a separate machine room, making them an efficient option for buildings with space constraints. Vaughan Elevator Company installs MRL elevators that combine the benefits of traction and hydraulic systems, offering energy efficiency, smooth operation, and space-saving design.

Dumbwaiters and Freight Elevators

In addition to passenger elevators, Vaughan Elevator Company installs specialized systems such as dumbwaiters and freight elevators. These systems are designed to transport goods and materials within commercial and industrial buildings. Our team ensures that these elevators are robust, durable, and capable of handling heavy loads with ease.
