Machine Room Elevator

In commercial applications, the use of higher voltage and required dedicated machine room leaves the fact that at least 25 sq. ft. valuable space is needed for the elevator equipment. With overhead machinery and traction elevators (and in some cases even hydraulic) the machine room can simply be located above the elevator hoistway as long as there is proper access to it and enough room for it.

Advantages

• An machine room elevator is quieter.
• Riding in an machine room elevator is comfortable as the vibration is very much less.
