Hydraulic lifts, like our Select and Easy HY elevators, are hydraulic direct (1:1) or indirect (2:1), central or lateral, acting type lift systems; the machinery, placed outside of the shaft, consists of a hydraulic power unit and an electric control panel. It can be placed inside of a cabinet or inside of a walled machine room. The lift is equipped with an overspeed governor and safety gear or a slack rope system for activating the safety gear and a rupture valve.

Traction lifts, like our Select or Easy TR lifts are 2:1 Machine room less, cantilever or ring shape suspended lifts. The control and drive are situated in the neighbourhood of the well. The motor and traction sheave are mounted in the well on a machine frame, mounted on the guide rails. All the rope terminals and the speed governor are also mounted on the same machine frame. On the roof of the car is a deflection pulley mounted. Under the machine frame is the counterweight (50% balance) situated.
