MACHINE ROOM LESS (MRL) LIFTS

MRL lifts are a modern type of traction elevator that do not require a separate machine room . All major components—like the motor and controller—are installed within the elevator shaft itself. This space-saving design is ideal for buildings with limited room. 🔧 How It Works MRL lifts use the same basic principle as traction lifts. A motor (usually gearless) drives a sheave that moves the ropes or belts , lifting the elevator car. But instead of placing the motor in a separate room, it’s mounted inside the shaft , either at the top or side.
