Hydraulic Elevator
Hydraulic elevators are used for passenger or freight transport. Furthermore they reduce structural loads, maximize car platform sizes and help engineers by limiting building design constraints.
Guidelines
- The lift need to be operated by authorized personnel's only.
- The "dead stick" type control should return to 'neutral' or 'off' position when released.
- The hydraulic pressure should never exceed the recommended level.

Components of a Hydraulic Elevator
Hydraulic elevators are a popular choice for various types of buildings due to their reliability, efficiency, and ability to carry heavy loads. Let's dive into the full details of hydraulic elevators, particularly in the context of an ocean elevator application.
Request a CallbackHydraulic Pump
The hydraulic pump, powered by an electric motor, is the heart of the hydraulic system. It generates the necessary hydraulic pressure to lift the elevator car.
Hydraulic Fluid
A non-compressible fluid (usually oil) that is used to transfer pressure from the pump to the piston.
Piston (or Plunger)
A large cylinder that moves vertically within a borehole. The hydraulic fluid pushes the piston up, raising the elevator car, and the release of fluid allows the car to descend.
Valve System
Controls the flow of hydraulic fluid into and out of the cylinder, thus controlling the movement of the piston.
Elevator Car
The compartment where passengers or goods are transported.
Controller
Manages the elevator’s operations, including stopping at floors, door operation, and safety protocols.
