Types of Elevators We Service

Hydraulic Elevators

Hydraulic elevators are well-suited for buildings with fewer than seven stories, providing a smooth, reliable operation. Powered by hydraulic fluid and pistons, these elevators are known for their durability and ease of maintenance. Ideal for low-rise structures, hydraulic elevators offer a cost-effective solution for buildings needing efficient vertical transportation.

​

Traction Elevators

Traction elevators use cables and counterweights, making them an energy-efficient choice for high-rise buildings. Known for faster speeds and smoother rides, they are ideal for taller structures requiring quick and reliable service. Traction elevators consume less power, making them a preferred choice for commercial buildings and multi-story residential properties.

Machine-Room-Less (MRL) Elevators

Machine-Room-Less (MRL) elevators eliminate the need for a separate machine room, providing a space-saving solution for buildings with limited structural space. Suitable for mid-rise buildings, MRL elevators are energy-efficient and have a compact design, making installation easier while maintaining high performance and reliability.

​

​

Residential Elevators

Residential elevators offer convenient, customized accessibility solutions for private homes, enhancing mobility and adding value to the property. Available in various designs and finishes, they can be tailored to fit seamlessly within home interiors. Residential elevators provide safety, ease of use, and improved accessibility for all household members.

Whether it’s residential or commercial, Suburban Elevator has the expertise to keep your elevator running optimally. Contact us for service inquiries on any type of elevator.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of routine elevator maintenance?

Routine maintenance ensures that elevators operate safely and efficiently, reducing the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns and extending their lifespan. Regular inspections help identify minor issues before they become major problems, ultimately saving money on costly repairs. Additionally, maintenance enhances the safety and reliability of the system, which is crucial for passenger comfort and satisfaction in both residential and commercial buildings.

​

How long does elevator modernization take, and what does it involve?

The duration of elevator modernization varies depending on the system's complexity and specific upgrades required. On average, it may take several weeks, during which outdated components are replaced with modern, efficient alternatives. This process can involve updating control systems, improving cab aesthetics, installing energy-efficient drives, and ensuring ADA compliance. Modernization enhances safety, performance, and energy efficiency, giving elevators a new lease on life.

​

What is the difference between hydraulic and traction elevators?

Hydraulic elevators use hydraulic fluid and a piston to lift the cab, making them ideal for low-rise buildings and quieter operation. Traction elevators, on the other hand, use cables and counterweights, providing faster speeds and greater energy efficiency, suitable for mid to high-rise buildings. Traction elevators generally require less energy and are more suitable for taller structures, while hydraulic models are cost-effective for shorter buildings.

​

Are Machine-Room-Less (MRL) elevators a good option?

Machine-Room-Less (MRL) elevators are ideal for buildings with limited space, as they don’t require a dedicated machine room. They’re energy-efficient, offer a smaller footprint, and provide faster installation times. MRL elevators are commonly used in mid-rise buildings and are often more economical to operate. However, their suitability depends on building design and usage needs, so consulting with a professional is recommended to assess compatibility.
