TYPES OF ELEVATOR
- Hydraulic elevator
- Traction elevator
- Climbing elevator
- Pneumatic elevator
HYDRAULIC ELEVATOR

TRACTION ELEVATOR
Traction Elevator are the most common type of elevator. Traction Elevator also know as Machine Room Less (MRL).
CLIMBING ELEVATOR
Climbing elevator hold their own power device on them, mostly electric or combustion engine. Climbing Elevator are used in work and construction area.
PNEUMATIC ELEVATOR
