In Astarlifts we know that when choosing the best lift in each case, we must take into account many factors. Being an essential element in daily life, the importance of choosing between one or another of your options should not be overlooked. One of these important components is the engine, which is part of the tractor group . It is the element that is responsible for generating the necessary energy to start it and stop it, and it is decisive for the future operation of the lift and for the budget to invest in its purchase .

In another article we devoted ourselves to analyzing the differences between the two basic systems of operation of the elevators, the electric and the hydraulic . Also, we will also see what advantages the hydraulic traction system supposes . Thus, although it is recommended the installation of hydraulic elevators in buildings of no more than 5 floors and of little traffic. On the contrary, for buildings with high traffic or more than 7 stops, electric elevators would be the best option.

Today there are two predominant traction motor systems in the electric elevator market. These are the Gearless engine and the Geared engine, the two types of engines we use in Astarlifts. The main difference between the two is the presence of a reducer around the engine, but that's not all .
