Why Traction Elevators Need Specialized Inspection

Traction elevators use counterweights, hoist ropes, and a motor-driven traction system that operates under constant mechanical and electrical load. Worn sheaves, rope stretch, weak brakes, misaligned equipment, or controller faults can lead to shutdowns, poor ride quality, or unsafe conditions if not identified early. AEI Solutions focuses specifically on traction systems, using targeted inspection methods to detect these issues before they become major failures.
