Geared Traction

Superior Performance

For buildings with up to 27 floors, our pre-engineered or "SPF" geared traction elevators offer easy specification, cost-effectiveness, and quick delivery with design flexibility, allowing customers the ability to create custom designs at production prices.

Choose from a wide range of options: overhead penthouse or basement-mounted machines, glass-back cabs, forty-five degree fronts, four types of ceilings, counterweight safety, and an extensive variety of finishes. SPF elevators are available in load capacities from 2,100 to 5,000 pounds and speeds from 200 to 500 feet-per-minute.
