Product Overview

Intelligent customization redefines vertical transportation

Tenau Elevator

A hydraulic passenger lift operates using a piston mounted inside a cylinder that is driven by pressurized fluid from an adjacent machine room (or cabinet). The car is raised by a pump forcing fluid into the cylinder. Lowering is achieved by a controlled release of the fluid back into a reservoir. This drive system is particularly well-suited for low-rise buildings and applications where travel distance is limited, typically up to 6 or 7 floors.

Key characteristics include precise leveling accuracy, which is beneficial for passenger comfort and ease of access. Furthermore, the lift's weight is distributed to the floor of the pit and not borne by the overhead structure, which can simplify building design and reduce construction costs. The machine room, which houses the pump unit and control systems, offers installation flexibility and does not require a large overhead machine space like traditional traction lifts.

Product Advantages

Why choose Tenau elevators?

Inherent Safety in Descent

The controlled release of fluid provides a smooth, regulated descent, and in case of power loss, the lift can typically be lowered to the nearest floor via a manual or battery-operated valve system.

Reduced Building Constraints

Eliminates the need for a load-bearing overhead structure and significantly simplifies the head-room requirement, aiding in architectural design and placement.

Product Features

Innovative technology, superior experience

  • Machine Room Flexibility: The pump unit can be placed away from the shaft, offering versatile options for machine room location.
  • Robust and Simple Design: Fewer complex components compared to traction systems, leading to potentially easier long-term maintenance.
  • High Torque at Low Speed: Ideal for heavier loads and short-distance travel, offering reliable operation even with minimal current.

Application Scenarios

Suitable for a variety of residential environments

Low-Rise Commercial Buildings

Suitable for office buildings, retail centers, and hotels with 2-6 stories where the focus is on robust, low-speed, and infrequent travel.

Existing Building Retrofits

Often the preferred choice for installation in older buildings due to reduced overhead clearance and lower structural reinforcement requirements.

Factors To Consider When Choosing Elevator

Comprehensive assessment, wise choice

Technical Factors

  • Travel Distance: Confirming the maximum stroke of the hydraulic cylinder can accommodate the required number of floors accurately.
  • Oil Temperature Management: Evaluating the heat dissipation plan, as oil can overheat during high-frequency or rapid usage cycles.
  • Machine Room Noise: Considering the noise level produced by the pump unit and its impact on adjacent usable spaces.

Usage Factors

  • Usage Frequency: Acknowledging that hydraulic lifts are generally less energy efficient for very high-frequency, continuous use.
  • Installation Ease: Leveraging the reduced civil works requirements to achieve a faster and less disruptive installation process.
  • Environmental Impact: Considering the proper containment and maintenance of the hydraulic oil for environmental compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions you may be interested in

How does a hydraulic lift perform in high-traffic situations?

Hydraulic lifts are generally better suited for lower-traffic environments. High usage can cause the hydraulic fluid to overheat, potentially requiring a slowdown in operation or the installation of an oil cooling system.

What is the required maintenance schedule?

Maintenance typically involves routine checks of the hydraulic fluid level and condition, inspection of seals and valves, and ensuring the pump motor and controller are functioning correctly. Quarterly checks are common.

Are hydraulic lifts energy efficient?

They are highly efficient during descent (using gravity), but the upward journey requires significant power to run the pump motor. For low-rise buildings with low to moderate usage, they can be a pragmatic choice.
