The gearless elevator is used for moving both passengers and freight in high-rise buildings and these elevators typically operate at speed greater than 2.5 metres per second. To reduce the load on the motor, the counterweight is calculated into match the weight of the car and a half-load of passengers. This design allows higher speeds and greater efficiency, and reduces energy consumption. Alis gearless traction elevator has been proven so durable. Smooth and steady motion of Alis gearless traction elevator is assured under all conditions.
