Installation methods

How do you install your elevators?

We configure the lifting equipment and accessories around your shaft, load and workflow. Common lifting configurations include 1:1 and 2:1. The complete setup depends on the shaft, load and installation method.

Common configuration

1:1 lifting configuration

The hoist travels with the platform. One part of rope supports the load.

Common configuration

2:1 lifting configuration

The hoist stays fixed. The rope runs through a pulley on the platform, so two parts of rope support the load.

In the shaft

How it works in the shaft

During elevator installation the traction hoist lifts personnel and equipment in the shaft. The wire rope passes through the hoist instead of winding onto a drum, so lifting height follows the length of rope deployed.

Lift personnel and equipment

Move crews and equipment inside the shaft during installation.

Height follows the rope

Lifting height follows the length of rope deployed. The rope is not stored on a drum.

Job-specific configuration

The hoist is selected for the shaft, the load, and the power on site.

Why choose FAS-Tech

Why a traction hoist

No drum

The rope passes through the hoist. It is not stored on a drum.

Height follows the rope

Lifting height is set by the wire rope deployed.

Personnel and equipment

Lift crews and equipment inside the shaft during installation.

US power

208 V / 60 Hz. Single-phase or three-phase, matched to the model.

Secondary safety

An independent OSLA device locks the rope if descent exceeds the rated limit.

Installation setup

Model, rope, controls and accessories are confirmed together for the shaft.

Certifications

Certifications and US scope

North American UNILIFT models are certified to UL 1323 and CSA Z271 for powered suspended scaffold and suspended access applications. FAS-Tech also configures these traction hoists for elevator installation.

Read the FAQ

Suspended access listings

UL 1323 and CSA Z271 apply to powered suspended scaffold and suspended access applications.

Specified model

Certification applies to the specified hoist model and configuration.

Elevator installation

Those listings do not, by themselves, certify the elevator installation. FAS-Tech configures the hoist for that job separately.

Support

Support in three steps

01

Define the setup

Tell us the method, load and power supply. We help match the US model and the accessories.

02

Prepare the installation

Documentation and technical guidance for the crew putting the hoist to work.

03

Keep it running

Service intervals, spare parts and technical support through the life of the hoist.
