Determining the most Suitable Elevator Type
There are two basic types of elevators: hydraulic elevators and traction elevators. Hydraulic elevators are powered by hydraulic pumps, whereas traction elevators are motor driven. Traditionally, traction elevators are often quieter than hydraulic ones, and typically consume less energy, but they require more space.
But this is no longer the case. TK Elevator offers modern traction elevators in machine-room less configurations. TKE’s versatile low-rise elevator models are suitable for residential and small-scale commercial developments in United Arab Emirates. For retrofit projects, our machine room-less and compact elevator models enable retrofits in buildings with limited space, creating additional possibilities for retrofit projects.
Selecting the right elevator type is vital, given the various options available in the market. If you are uncertain about the ideal choice, contact one of our local branches for a cost-free and professional consultation.

Elevator Base Installation
Once the optimal location and elevator type are determined, the installation process begins. The first step involves installing the elevator base, which may require digging a pit to accommodate the elevator. Base design and construction are critical to ensure proper elevator support and will determine the elevator's stability and safety.

Elevator Shaft Construction
Subsequently, the construction of the elevator shaft starts. This phase involves building the structural framework that supports the elevator car during operation. An elevator shaft needs to provide robust support for the elevator's various components. The construction needs to adhere to precise standards to ensure that the shaft can withstand the forces generated by the elevator operation.

Elevator Installation
Installing the elevator begins with setting up of the elevator machinery. Components such as the machine, pulleys, cables, and related components need to be installed. Subsequently, the elevator car is placed in the shaft and the wiring, the doors and the control systems are put in place.

Elevator Safety Checks
Before elevator operations can begin, it is important to perform rigorous safety checks. Various safety features, proper door operations and alignment, emergency intercoms, the elevator leveling and of course the elevator brakes, and maximum loading need to be tested.
