Machine Room Less Elevator

 MACHINE ROOM-LESS ELEVATORS

As owners increasingly demand energy savings and seek U.S. Green Building Council LEED® certifications, architects, consultants and general contractors have discovered the benefits MRL’s provide to building design. The machine-room-less elevator is the result of technological advancements that often allow a significant reduction in the size of the electric motors used with traction equipment. The need for locating the machine room over the hoist way is eliminated because newly designed, smaller permanent magnet motors (PMM) allow Architects to design the hoist way with the machine as an integral component.

Not only does the MRL design lead to reduced use of both oil and energy for starting and running the elevator—plus the avoidance of potential ground contamination—it also permits more efficient and safe installation techniques and use of valuable interior space.

We are committed to providing elevator products and services that decrease environmental impact and promote sustainability – we stay true to our commitment by offering the MRL elevator option.

Always on the cutting edge of design and technology, we have installed MRLs throughout New England. Our knowledge of the MRL enables us to offer you the highest calibre of design advice. Contact our Team today to discover how we can help you integrate an MRL into your next building project.

Engineering characteristics:

Medium to high rise (50’-300’ travel)

Medium to high speed (200-500 fpm) (200-500 fpm)

Optimal for nearly any application: offers superior ride quality and reliable operation

Offers significant space and cost saving advantages

Space Saving Benefits:

No penthouse required above the roof level.

Utilizes a smaller more efficient machine to power the car.

An MRL may reduce the need for overhead mechanical structural support, depending on the application.

Where code permits, need for external machine room is limited to a small controller room.

Cost Saving Benefits:

Equipment is designed for a long life cycle.

Operation costs may be less than traditional designs.

Easy installation and maintenance.

achieving reliability through a fully integrated system.
