Used
extensively in factories and storage facilities
for the movement of goods between floors. Two
kinds of lifts are on offer - Drumwound machine
based or traction machine based. The capacities
available range from 250 Kgs to 10 Tons.
Goods and workers can be transported to any number
of floors. The size of the lifts can be from 3'
x 2' to as large as 12' x 20'. Standard height
of the cabin is 6' 7½". The lift can open on the
opposite side also ( 2 side open cabin).
Drum wound type without counterweight. This lift
is simpler in design and suited for low cost
installations. The movement of the lift is based
on the coiling and uncoiling of a wire rope on a
rotating drum. A unique feature of our drum
design is the provision of two ropes coiling
separately on a right hand thread groove and a
left hand thread groove. This leads to lesser
rope stress and longer life. These lifts are
quicker to install and require lesser space.
Traction type with counterweight. This lift is a
better machine design wise and also offers
greater safety to the user. This is achieved
first through the use of 3 or more independent
wire ropes stretched across the main traction
sheave. Second, there being no positive coupling
between the lift and the machine leads to
greater safety as a slip is permitted whenever
there is an obstruction to the lift travel.
Unlike in the drum wound design there is no
overload on the motor in case of lift
overshooting at the top floor. Jerk free, smooth
travel is possible by the usage of 2:1 roping.
Though smoother, traction lifts travel at higher
speeds than drum wound lifts using the same
power.
