Hydraulic elevator modernization for LG lift
WHAT IS A HYDRAULIC ELEVATOR?
A hydraulic elevator is one that is powered by a fluid-driven piston that travels inside of a cylinder. These elevators don’t use overhead hoisting machinery like traction units.
MODERNIZATION ASSESSMENT: THE PARTS OF A HYDRAULIC ELEVATOR
Our modernization capabilities provide enhanced reliability, comfort, efficiency, safety, and code compliance. The following components are assessed when determining modernization recommendations for hydraulic elevators:
POWER UNIT
A power unit is used on all hydraulic elevator equipment types. A standard power unit consists of a tank, pump, motor, control valve, and silencer. The power unit pumps oil to push the piston up. It also allows the oil to return to the tank as the car travels down.
CONTROL VALVE
The control valve is the device on hydraulic elevators that controls the oil flow to and from the jack. Hydraulic elevators only perform as well as…
