The Paragon® Counterweighted Roped Hydraulic Elevator is a super-efficient, energy-saving system that utilizes a counter-weight to offset the load on the motor. This allows a smaller, more efficient motor, which means less heat generation and less noise.
Our system is more efficient than competitive offerings because the cylinder acts as part of the counterweight, rather than adding more steel to the system.
Thanks to the counterweight, the system provides a smooth, quiet ride. The motor runs only when the elevator is traveling up; gravity lets it come down. Also there is less load on the building structure, because all vertical loads are transferred to the pit floor.
The Counterweighted Roped Hydro is a holeless elevator that eliminates the potential problems of buried cylinder applications. It will serve from two to 10 stories of travel and is manufactured in 2,000-lb. to 5,000-lb. capacities; custom sizes and higher capacities are available with travel speeds up to 200 FPM. Passenger and freight applications are also available.
The unit comes in space-saving MRL or conventional machine-room application. Installation times are similar to conventional hydraulic elevators. The system is non-proprietary and made in the U.S.A.
As with every system we manufacture, a Paragon system represents the most advanced thinking in its class. When you choose Canton Elevator, you are assured of receiving the highest quality plus all the engineering support you may request.
