A traction type goods lift, also known as a traction freight elevator, is a vertical transportation system designed for moving heavy goods and materials. It utilizes a traction system, typically consisting of steel ropes or belts, a traction motor, and counterweights, to efficiently and reliably move the lift car up and down. These lifts are commonly found in industrial, commercial, and warehouse settings. Traction lifts are known for their energy efficiency compared to some other types of lifts, like hydraulic systems.
