Geared Traction Passenger Elevators
Delta’s geared traction passenger elevators are ideal for applications that require a combination of rapid speed, high travel, and heavy lifting capacity—such as high rise residential buildings, office towers, hospitals, universities and colleges.
The heart of the Delta traction elevator is the geared machine, located either in a rooftop penthouse or in a basement machine room when a penthouse location is not available. Geared technology combines a smooth, quiet ride, accurate levelling, and energy efficiency through the use of counterweights.
Modern traction elevators use a variable voltage, variable frequency (VVVF) drive to improve ride quality and reduce energy consumption.
Delta uses proven components throughout its traction elevator design:
- The DMPC controller is designed by Delta and manufactured at our Kitchener, Ontario plant. It is reliable, upgradeable, easily serviced, and fully supported for all maintaining contractors.
- Delta uses Hollister-Whitney or Torin machines for virtually all of its traction elevator installations. Hollister-Whitney is a well-respected American manufacturer that has been supplying superior elevator components for over 90 years, while Torin is the world's largest elevator machine manufacturer.
- The Delta entrance system and applied cab finishes come standard on our traction elevators. They are designed and manufactured in-house and have been fully tested to meet all CSA requirements.
