TRACTION LIFTS

Traction lifts operate using ropes or steel belts , driven by a motor and counterweight system . This mechanism allows the elevator to move efficiently in mid to high-rise buildings and is known for its speed, energy efficiency, and smooth performance . How It Works The elevator car is connected to ropes or belts that pass over a drive sheave (pulley) connected to an electric motor. A counterweight balances the elevator’s weight. As the motor turns the sheave, the car moves up or down.
