Elevator Motors

The motor is the heart of the elevator. We use Italian motors from Alberto Sassi and Sicor in two types: motors installed in an overhead machine room, and machine-room-less (gearless) motors installed inside the shaft.

Two Types of Motor

In a Machine Room or Inside the Shaft

Machine-Room Motors

Installed in a machine room above the shaft; the room needs cooling and ventilation to keep the motor performing well.

Machine-Room-Less (Gearless) Motors

Installed inside the elevator shaft, they save space and up to 40% in energy, and run quietly without vibration.

Which motor suits your building?

The choice depends on whether there's an overhead room, the number of floors and the load. Our engineers will determine this after a site survey.
