Home elevators

Thinking about a home elevator? Here's why gyroscopic technology is the best choice

For many homeowners, the dream of a home elevator becomes a reality. But when it comes to choosing the right technology, there can be confusion between traditional hydraulic elevators and newer home elevator solutions. At Sky Elevator Company, we are here to shed light on the advantages of our innovative gearless home elevator technology.

Hydraulic elevators: Once the standard, now obsolete

For a long time, home hydraulic elevators have been the preferred choice for home applications, especially since they offer a solution for small spaces that don't include a dedicated machine room at the top of the elevator shaft.

Here are the main advantages and disadvantages of hydraulic elevators

Advantages of hydraulic elevators:

• You don't need a machine room on top of the well
• You don't need a high overhead

Disadvantages of hydraulic elevators:

• Limited possibilities: In height and speed "usually suitable for a maximum of 3-4 floors and a speed of less than 1 m/s"
• Higher electricity consumption compared to electric elevators that use Girlls machines
• You need to have a hydraulic unit room on the ground floor
• Their dependence on oil: Hydraulic systems require careful handling of oil, and leaks can be frequent and require specialized expertise to fix.
• Temperature sensitivity: Performance can be affected depending on the ambient temperature, affecting elevator performance and malfunctions.
• Maintenance challenges: Professional and complex maintenance procedures are required to ensure optimal operation and performance.

Home elevators: An alternative to the hydraulic elevator:

 A simpler and more flexible option

Home elevators have emerged as a more practical solution for residential buildings.

Here are the main advantages and disadvantages of home elevators

Advantages of Home Elevators

• Simple design and standard maintenance: Requires simple and standard maintenance to maintain the operation and performance of the elevator.
• Space-saving installation: No need for a dedicated machinery room on top of the well, and only minimal preparatory work is required (smaller well size and pit - single-voltage feed source).

• Disadvantages of home elevators
• Lack of conformity of domestic elevator machines with the specifications and safety and security requirements stipulated in the Egyptian code for elevators and the European code for elevators
• The machine works by winding ropes on the hoop without a counterweight and relies on one or maximum two ropes
• Unsafe brake technology
• Limited capabilities in heights, speeds, and payloads
• High noise level as the home elevator machine makes very loud noises
