Machine-Room less Lifts for Small Space The MRL lift reduces the spatial requirements for lift installation by installing the machinery in the lift shaft or on the landings. MRL lifts are traction lifts and they look exactly the same as traditional lifts. They simply take up less space. Machine-room-less elevators utilise a gearless traction machine located in the hoistway.The use of a counterweight assists the machine in turning the elevator sheave, which moves the cab through the hoistway. MRLs save space by placing the compact, gearless machine directly in the elevator shaft. There is no need for a roof top machine room, which potentially lowers building construction costs. Gearless machines and counterweight configuration of MRLs increases energy efficiency and provides a smooth, quiet ride. Advantages of MRL Lift over normal geared motor with machine room Lift
Requires Less space - One of the main benefits of Machine Room Less Elevators is the cost saving that results from saving space within the building and also the resulting reduction of structural load
Saves Power - As gearbox is not present with motor, all losses taking place in gearbox are avoided and motor hp reduces. This ultimately results in lower consumption of electrical power.
Less cost of maintenance - As MRL installation is mandatorily automatic door installation, door complaints are reduced and as gearbox is not present, complaints related to gearbox are eliminated, hence total maintenance complaints are reduced.
Riding Comfort - As the roping system is used 2:1, system jerks are damped and reach in reduced percentage to cabin. Hence ride quality and comfort is at its maximum level.
Technological advantage - As the technology used is high end, all the benefits of new technology are available.
Building Elevation - As there is no machine room on top of the building, building elevation improves
