IconHYDRAULIC ELEVATOR

Powerful, flexible, and energy-efficient — up to 2 tons carrying capacity

Compared with traction lifts, Gentech Hydraulic Elevators offer clear advantages in flexibility and load capacity. No top machine room is required — the machine room can be flexibly set within 10 metres of the shaft, more easily meeting individual design requirements of any construction.

With a wide loading range and strong adaptability, our hydraulic elevators feature a large car and tonnage design with a maximum carrying ability of up to 2 tons. The counterweight device is not needed, which increases hoistway utilisation and greatly saves construction space and costs. When the lift descends, no electricity is consumed — cabin weight alone drives movement, delivering meaningful energy savings over time. Built with multiple hydraulic circuit protection systems including safety valves and limited-speed disconnecting valves, these elevators combine reliability with a compact, low-fault structure that is easy to maintain daily.

IconWHY CHOOSE A HYDRAULIC ELEVATOR

Key Features & Benefits

Flexible Machine Room Setting

No top machine room is needed. The machine room can be set within 10 metres of the shaft, complying with any individual design requirement.

Wide Loading Range & Adaptability

Large car and tonnage design with a maximum carrying ability of up to 2 tons, suitable for heavy-duty commercial and industrial applications.

Saves Space & Reduces Cost

No counterweight device is needed, which increases hoistway utilisation and greatly saves construction space and overall project costs.

Energy-Saving Descent

When the lift goes downwards, depending on the work done by the cabin's own weight, no electricity is consumed — delivering real energy savings.

Highest Safety & Reliability

Multiple hydraulic circuit protection systems — including safety valves and limited-speed disconnecting valves — safeguard every journey.

Compact & Low Fault Rate

The compact structure delivers a low fault rate and is easy for daily maintenance — reducing downtime and keeping operational costs minimal.

IconTECHNOLOGY

How a Hydraulic Elevator Works

A hydraulic elevator uses a fluid-driven piston housed in a cylinder to raise and lower the car. A pump unit pushes hydraulic oil into the cylinder to ascend; controlled release of the oil — powered solely by the cabin's own weight — brings the car down without consuming electricity.

01
Pump Activation

An electric motor drives a hydraulic pump that pressurises the oil in the cylinder.

02
Piston Rise

Pressurised fluid extends the piston upward, smoothly lifting the elevator car.

03
Gravity Descent

On descent, a control valve releases oil back to the reservoir — no electricity needed.

04
Safety Lock

Multiple safety valves hold the car securely in place at any floor or in emergencies.

Icon FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Gentech hydraulic elevators support a maximum carrying capacity of up to 2 tonnes, making them ideal for commercial, industrial, and heavy-duty applications. Passenger capacity ranges from 5 to 20 persons depending on the model selected.
Unlike traditional traction lifts, no top machine room is needed for a hydraulic elevator. The machine room can be flexibly located within 10 metres of the shaft, which significantly simplifies building design and reduces construction costs.
Yes. One of the key advantages of hydraulic elevators is that the descending movement relies on the cabin's own weight rather than electrical power. This means no electricity is consumed during downward travel, delivering meaningful savings on operational energy costs.
In addition to all standard safety protection devices, Gentech hydraulic elevators are equipped with multiple hydraulic circuit protection systems — including safety valves and limited-speed disconnecting valves — that prevent uncontrolled movement and protect passengers in any scenario.
We recommend servicing your hydraulic elevator every 6–12 months depending on usage frequency and load. The compact structure and low fault rate make routine maintenance straightforward, and our service team is available across South India to support you.
