Geared and gearless lift systems built for modern high-rise buildings, delivering precision, durability, and long-term reliability across Hyderabad.
A traction elevator uses steel ropes (or belts) running over a sheave (pulley) connected to an electric motor to lift and lower the cab. The counterweight system makes traction lifts highly energy-efficient — the motor only needs to move the difference in weight between the cab and counterweight.
Traction elevators are the industry standard for high-rise buildings in Hyderabad — from luxury apartments in Kondapur and Gachibowli to commercial towers in HITEC City and government buildings across Telangana. They are available in two variants: geared traction (for mid-rise, up to ~20 floors) and gearless traction (for high-rise, 20+ floors).
At Fortune Global Elevators, our certified engineers design, install, and maintain traction lifts to IS 14665 standards. Whether you need a gearless traction elevator for a high-rise apartment or a geared traction lift for a commercial building in Hyderabad, we deliver precision-engineered solutions on schedule and within budget.

Gearless traction elevators can serve buildings of virtually any height, making them the only practical choice for Hyderabad's growing high-rise residential and commercial towers.
The counterweight system means the motor only works against the load difference — significantly reducing energy consumption compared to hydraulic elevator systems.
Gearless traction systems can achieve speeds of 2.5–4.0 m/s+, ensuring fast, comfortable travel even in 30–40 floor buildings — critical for high-traffic commercial buildings.
Dual-circuit braking, overspeed governor, ARD (Automatic Rescue Device), and IS 14665-compliant safety systems are standard on all traction elevator installations.
Stainless steel brushed, mirror finish, wood veneer, glass cabin walls — fully customizable to match your building's architectural language and brand identity.
IoT-enabled remote monitoring, real-time fault detection, and predictive maintenance capability available on all new traction elevator installations.
