Roped Hydraulic Elevators

Otis’ Roped Hydraulic is a cost-effective, environmentally safe elevator designed for customers seeking an alternative to traditional holed elevators. It’s the right solution for hazard-sensitive and waterfront sites, and for existing buildings.

The Otis Roped Hydraulic has a plunger (A) located on each side of the car and a sheave (B) controlled by a set of plunger guides (C). Ropes (D) are fastened to the top of jackstands (E) and the bottom of the car frame. The system has an instantaneous safety (F) that is activated by a traction governor (G) and governor tension sheave (H).

The Otis Roped Hydraulic is an above-ground solution that substantially lowers the risk of soil and ground-water contamination. An environmentally safe system, it eliminates the need for drilling and its associated problems, uncertainties and costs. A proven product, it uses many of the same components of the successful Holed and Holeless Hydraulic Series. Otis Roped Hydraulics are designed for applications up to 60 feet. They’re engineered for reliability and easy maintenance – components are tested for a simulated life of approximately 20 years.
