When choosing a household elevator, hydraulic household elevators and traction household elevators are two common choices. They have different working principles and applicable scenarios, so what are their main differences? Let’s find out together.

working principle

Hydraulic household elevators provide lifting force through a hydraulic system and are usually suitable for low-rise buildings, such as family homes. Traction-type household elevators use electric motors to drive traction wire ropes to achieve lifting and are suitable for mid- to high-rise buildings. Therefore, the working principles of the two elevators determine their applicable scenarios.

Installation and maintenance

Hydraulic household elevators usually require less installation space and the installation process is relatively simple, making them suitable for family homes and other places. Traction-type household elevators require more installation space and complex installation processes, and are suitable for commercial buildings and other places. In terms of maintenance, hydraulic home elevators usually require more frequent maintenance, while the maintenance intervals of traction household elevators are relatively long.

cost and efficiency

Hydraulic household elevators usually have lower initial installation costs and are suitable for cost-sensitive home users. Traction-type household elevators have higher initial installation costs, but they have lower operating costs and higher operating efficiency in long-term use. Therefore, choosing a suitable household elevator requires comprehensive consideration of initial installation costs and long-term operating costs.

There are obvious differences between hydraulic household elevators and traction household elevators in terms of working principles, applicable scenarios, installation and maintenance, cost and efficiency. When choosing a home elevator, you need to comprehensively consider various factors based on actual needs and scenarios to choose the most suitable type of home elevator.
