You don’t have to sacrifice size for speed.

You can have a 5000-pound capacity

You get an extra safe elevator without

Our auto-rescue feature, which prevents
passengers from being trapped during a

There’s no need for a control closet,

You don’t have to waste space.

Using belts means our equipment uses a
small hoisting machine and therefore
requires less space.

You get a super quiet ride.

Our design makes it the industry’s quietest,
inside and out.

You get a hassle-free installation.

No crane needed and everything fits into
