Hydraulic elevators are a type of elevator that uses a hydraulic ram to lift and lower the car. They are typically used in low-rise buildings, such as residential buildings, and are often the most cost-effective option for these types of buildings. Hydraulic elevators are powered by a pump that pushes hydraulic fluid into a cylinder, which then pushes the car up and down. The hydraulic system is usually located in the elevator shaft, and the car is connected to the system by a cable. Hydraulic elevators are generally slower than other types of elevators, such as traction elevators, and they require more maintenance. However, they are still a popular choice for low-rise buildings due to their cost-effectiveness and reliability. Some companies in the hydraulic elevator market include ThyssenKrupp, Kone, Otis, Schindler, and Fujitec. Show Less Read more
