Frequently Asked Questions
What standards govern traction elevator manufacturing in Turkey?
Turkish traction elevator manufacturers on elevator.tr produce all equipment to EN 81-20 (safety rules for construction and installation of lifts — electric lifts) and EN 81-50 (design and calculation), with CE marking as standard. For high-rise applications in specific markets, manufacturers can also align to EN 81-72 (firefighters' lifts) and EN 81-73 (behaviour in fire). Documentation for all applicable standards is provided in the delivery package.
What speed and load options are available for traction elevators?
The traction elevator range from elevator.tr suppliers covers nominal speeds of 1.0, 1.6, 2.5, 4.0, and 6.0 m/s, with load ratings from 320 kg to 5,000 kg. Gearless permanent magnet drives are standard for speeds above 1.6 m/s, offering higher energy efficiency and lower maintenance requirements than traditional geared systems. Double-deck and multi-car shaft configurations are available from selected manufacturers for high-density applications.
How are traction elevators shipped and installed internationally?
Turkish manufacturers package traction elevator components — hoistway equipment, car frame, cabin panels, control panels, and machine assembly — in clearly itemized export crates designed for container shipping. All packages include multilingual installation manuals and wiring diagrams. Most manufacturers offer remote commissioning support via video link and can arrange on-site technical supervision for projects requiring it, at an additional cost.
Can traction elevators be customized for luxury or landmark projects?
Yes. Turkish manufacturers on elevator.tr have supplied traction elevators to five-star hotels, premium residential towers, and landmark commercial developments across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Full cabin customization — including exotic material finishes, feature lighting, custom door designs, and branded car operating panels — is available. Dedicated project managers handle bespoke specifications from concept approval through factory acceptance testing.
