Ecospace Elevator
Fits in Hydraulic Hoistway

Company introduces EcoSpace, the first machine-room-less elevator designed specifically for two to seven stop applications. A key feature of the EcoSpace elevator is the EcoDisc hoisting machine, which mounts off the car rail inside the elevator shaft. EcoDisc and all its control and logic systems fit in a standard hydraulic hoistway, eliminating the need for a machine room. This gives architects more design freedom, unlocking 36 to 136 additional sq ft of floor space. Models with lift capacities of 2,000 or 2,500 lb are available and offer a quieter, smoother ride.
