The design utilizes wire ropes in conjunction with two hydraulic jacks to lift the elevator at a 1:2 ratio. For each foot the jack rises, the elevator rises two feet.
Advantages:
- Jack hole is not required. Eliminating the cost of drilling and the risk of ground contamination from oil leak.
- Offered in both low and high capacity elevators.
- Accommodates front and rear opening configurations.
- Available with higher travels up to approximately 90’-0”.
- Minimal pit and overhead requirements.
Disadvantages:
- May require a larger hoistway width to accommodate jacks mounted on either side of the platform.
- Governor access door is required in the overhead unless a special governor is provided.
- Side openings are not an option.
- Material cost and installation time is typically higher when compared to an in-ground application.

Notes for Dual Roped
- Hoistway widths and depths can be reduced by 1″ if conditions require and hoistway plumbness is maintained.
- All elevators shown here comply with NEII and ADA space requirements for wheel chair access.
- 2000-lb. elevators must have single-slide doors to meet NEII and ADA requirements for wheelchair access.
- 2500, 3000 & 3500-lbs. elevators shown here comply with NEII and ADA requirements for ambulance stretcher access, unless equipped with center-parting doors.
