Who is the traction elevator right for?
- 1
Mid-rise or high-rise buildings
The more floors a building has, the better traction technology suits it; the machine and ropes are built for continuous travel across many levels without losing performance.
- 2
A villa that wants a premium ride
In a villa movement alone is not enough; you want to feel smooth acceleration and stopping. A gearless machine delivers that without vibration or noise that disturbs the household.
- 3
A building needing continuous operation
Traction technology suits buildings where the lift runs heavily throughout the day, as the machine and ropes handle consecutive trips and maintain performance with regular maintenance.

What sets this area apart
Umm Al Hamam Ash Sharqi is marked by high building density, with blocks and villas standing close together on limited plots and narrower streets than newer western districts. This means lift shafts and support columns must be precisely planned before construction, and traction lifts with steel ropes use vertical space more efficiently than hydraulic systems. Residents and families need lifts offering high daily efficiency and low noise, which Italian motors deliver.
Umm Al Hamam Ash Sharqi lies in west Riyadh and is marked by high population density with closely spaced blocks and vertical villas.
Residential blocks in the area typically range from five to eight storeys, and traction lifts are the practical standard for this height range.

Questions about Traction / electric elevators
What is the difference between a gearless and a geared machine?
A gearless machine drives the sheave directly with no intermediate gearbox, meaning a smoother and quieter ride, lower energy use and simpler maintenance over time. A geared machine remains an option in some applications, and the site survey decides which suits your building.
Does a traction elevator need a pit below the shaft?
In most cases yes, a pit is needed, and its depth varies from project to project depending on the shaft dimensions and machine chosen. Some gearless solutions accept a shallow pit, and the survey determines the exact measurement before any work begins.
Can a traction elevator be installed in an existing villa?
It depends on whether space for a shaft exists and whether digging is feasible. In many existing Riyadh villas it is possible, and the survey visit reveals whether the structure and available space allow this particular type.
What warranty does Lift Barq give on a traction elevator?
We offer a warranty of up to 15 years on the traction elevators we install. The full terms of what it covers are set out in writing at handover so you know exactly where you stand from day one.
Is the traction elevator's speed consistent across all floors?
In general yes; the machine and ropes are designed to deliver consistent performance from the ground floor to the top. Any fine-tuning is carried out during the controller commissioning and safety-testing stage before handover.
Can a traction lift be installed in a narrow older block?
Yes, but it requires careful study of the shaft and existing column structure. Barq's team inspects the site and identifies the best option, sometimes needing minor structural adjustments.
Are traction lifts cheaper than hydraulic ones?
Traction lifts may require larger initial investment but deliver better energy efficiency and lower maintenance costs over time, which matters in dense districts with heavy daily use.
