COMPARING GEARLESS LIFTS AND HYDRAULIC HOME LIFTS

Lifts in this modern world is a necessity which can be seen at almost every other building and with the onset of 21^st century and boom in economy the demand for elevators at residences is also increasing.

Today we will be understanding 2 major lift options for residences, first one is

Gearless lifts and the other one is Hydraulic home lift

1)    Gearless lifts – In gearless elevators, the sheave is attached directly to the end of the motor, and the motor rotates the sheaves directly  

2)    Hydraulic home lifts - these elevators lift a cab by using a fluid-driven piston that is mounted inside of a cylinder 

How to choose which kind of lift suits you better 

Some major factors of the 2 lifts are being compared to provide a better perspective 

1) Weight and height capacity – 

•        Gearless Lifts usually offer capacity of 1000 – 2500 kgs and are used at high rise buildings 

•        Whereas Home lifts offer capacity of 400-600 kg and travel up to

6 floors  2) Speed – 

•        Gearless Lifts – 5 to 8 meter per second 

•        Home lifts – 0.15 to 0.4 meter per second 3) Power consumption –

•        Gearless lifts consume high amount of energy but is economical in high rise project and It runs on 3 Phase power supply 

•        Home Lifts consumes very less power in comparison to gearless and it runs on single phase power supply 4) Civil construction and permission 

•        Gearless Lifts – Heavy civil construction is required along with all kind of permissions from authorities 

•        Home Lifts – Civil construction is negligible and no permission is required 

3) Standards and rules – 

•        Gearless Lifts – They are made as per the guidelines for commercial lifts and set parameters are followed 

•        Home lifts – they must follow separate rules for the lifts to be used in residences 

To summarize, Gearless lifts are more suitable for a high rise building as it provides you speed, capacity and it has a high maintenance cost and power consumption which can be divided among residents. Whereas Home lifts are suitable for individual homes, bungalow and duplex as they don’t need civil construction, low power consumption, low cost of maintenance and safety of the product is higher

But there is an exception in ThyssenKrupp home lifts. ThyssenKrupp home lifts have embraced the skyscraper gearless technology and became the first company in the world to integrate it into Home Lifts. The Altura H300 embraces the stateof-the-art Cog belt technology which makes it the smoothest, safest, quietest and the fastest home lifts in the world. ThyssenKrupp has already pioneered the Hydraulic Lift technology with its older models of Orion and Gulliver and the latest Altura H200.
