What is the difference between geared and gearless passenger elevators?

Gearless machines couple the motor directly to the sheave, eliminating the worm-gear reducer. This reduces energy consumption by ~40%, extends service life beyond 20 years and enables speeds above 1.75 m/s. Liftech supplies gearless PMSM machines as standard.

How many passenger elevators does a building in Pakistan need?

A rule of thumb is one 13-person car per 60 apartments or per 4,000 m² of net commercial area, sized for a 5-minute up-peak handling capacity of 12–15% of the population. A full traffic simulation (RTD3 or Elevate) is required for towers above 15 floors.

Are Liftech passenger elevators compliant with EN 81-20/50?

Yes. Every unit is designed, tested and commissioned to EN 81-20:2020 (safety rules) and EN 81-50:2020 (design & tests) and is accompanied by a full CE-style declaration of conformity and load-test certificate.

What is the typical delivery lead time in Pakistan?

Standard passenger elevators are delivered 10–14 weeks from signed drawings; premium high-rise DCS packages 16–20 weeks. Installation is 4–6 weeks per car depending on travel.

01 · Overview

Engineered passenger elevators for Pakistan's demanding built environment.

Liftech Global passenger elevators are engineered for mid- and high-rise residential, commercial and mixed-use buildings across Pakistan. Every unit is built around a permanent-magnet synchronous (PMSM) gearless machine, closed-loop vector VVVF drive and a serial CAN-bus controller — the same architecture used by tier-1 European OEMs. Cabin, door and signalisation packages are fully configurable to shaft, load and traffic profile.

From design through commissioning our lifts comply with EN 81-20/50 safety and EN 81-70 accessibility, with optional EN 81-28 remote alarm and EN 81-72 firefighter operation. Group control up to eight cars with destination dispatch (DCS) is available for premium developments, and every unit ships with an Automatic Rescue Device (ARD) and Unintended Car Movement (UCM) protection as standard.
