Non-Proprietary Elevator Equipment

Elevators and elevator components range in their proprietary nature.  Prior to making a purchase decision for a new elevator or controller, it is important to understand how an installation will be affected by the proprietary nature of the product under consideration.  Please see Delta's Non-Proprietary Elevator Equipment worksheet for addition information on this critical issue.

 

Delta controllers are available with or without a diagnostic tool, which can also be purchased as an after market item.  Delta stands behind its product 100% and will support its elevators whether they are maintained by Delta or by another contractor.

Elevator Loading Requirements

All elevating devices have a loading classification pertaining to the capacity of the elevating device and to the nature of the loading method. It is important that the loading classification matches the intended use of the elevating device in order to ensure safe operation. Please see Delta's Elevator Loading Requirements PDF for a description of the loading classifications permitted under the B44 Elevator Code and that are available from Delta Elevator Co Ltd.


Please note: Delta Elevator Co Ltd currently supplies, installs and services elevators in Ontario, Canada only.


Conventional Hydraulic Passenger Elevator (CHP)

An in-ground jack lifts a platform that is guided by rails. The hole is usually drilled before the building is erected. Inside drilling can be arranged for special situations. Mechanically, this is the most balanced hydraulic elevator configuration offering a smooth ride with quiet operation. More about hydraulic passenger elevators

Holeless Hydraulic Passenger Elevator (HHP)

Delta's lline of Holeless hydraulic elevators offer a viable alternative to a conventional hydraulic elevator when hole drilling is either cost restrictive or not practical due to site conditions.  More about hydraulic passenger elevators

Holeless Dual Cylinder Passenger Elevator (HDP)

Two cylinders situated beside the rails lift a platform guided on the rails. This configuration can have front and rear entrances. The maximum travel is 4500 mm. Oil noise is greater than an in-ground (CHP) configuration. More about hydraulic passenger elevators

Roped Hydraulic Passenger Elevator (RHP)

A cantilevered platform is lifted by ropes that pass over a sheave fastened to the top of a hydraulic jack. This configuration cannot have rear entrances. More about hydraulic passenger elevators

Geared Traction Passenger Elevator (GTP)

A conventional overhead geared machine with the car attached to cables that are counter-weighted over the drive sheave. The motor size and power consumption is significantly lower than hydraulic elevators, but the elevator and building costs are higher. More about traction passenger elevators

Delta 7000 Accessibility Lift

A Delta budget-priced lift that meets all applicable codes. It is available is several different cab configurations and cab colours. More about accessibility lifts

Delta 9000 Accessibility Elevator (LULA)

Small commercial hydraulic elevator with a capacity of 635kg, pit depth requirement of 356mm and reduced overhead requirements. More about LULA elevators

Conventional Hydraulic Freight Elevator (CHF)

An in-ground hydraulic jack lifts a platform that is guided by rails. These durable units stand up well to rough loading conditions including forklifts and tow motors. Most freight elevator sizes are custom designed to suit the loads being lifted. More about freight elevators

Geared Traction Freight Elevator (GTF)

A conventional overhead geared machine with the car attached to cables that are counter-weighted over the drive sheave. This style is recommended for longer travel and greater speed than the Conventional Hydraulic Freight elevator (CHF). More about freight elevators

Freight Platform Lift (FPL) (Material Lift)

A more economical way to move freight (5000 mm maximum). These lifts can only penetrate one floor and may carry only one operator. The swing door systems are typically not as durable as in freight elevators. More about material lifts
