Traction Elevators - TK Elevator

Higher, faster, smoother

Traction elevators move using a system of steel ropes or belts. This configuration enables them to move faster than hydraulic elevators. They can also travel longer vertical distances, making them ideal for mid-rise, high-rise, and even ultra-high rise buildings.

TK Elevator offers a wide variety of traction elevators to meet your needs and specifications. And with a wide variety of fixtures and design options to choose from, you can customize your elevator to blend seamlessly with the rest of your building.

Faster, safer installation

We’ve streamlined the installation process to minimize disruptions and complete construction quicker. We’ve grouped similar tasks together, resulting in less coordination with other trades. Our goal is to efficiently install your elevators using sequential packaging strategies, being mindful to stage materials with the least amount of interference for other trades. We've also designed our elevators to enable early installation of the roof.

These innovations result in shorter construction timelines and a simpler installation process.
