To learn about the price of elevators without Pit . First, Hoang Sa Viet Sankyo would like to talk about the function of Pit. Why is Pit needed? And if there is no Pit, what technology does the elevator need to add to ensure full safety features of the elevator? Below is all the information about this product line.

What is the use of Pit in elevator?

Pit is a part of the elevator structure. They are dug deep below the ground (last floor) to a depth of [0.5-1.3m]. This pit contains some elevator parts such as: Elevator floor, Governor, shock absorber, and provides space for the elevator cabin when in contact at the last floor. The elevator pit helps ensure the safety of the elevator bottom area and avoid collision when the elevator stops or moves at the bottom floor. Thus, if there is no Pit, the following problem will occur:

  • The elevator cabin floor must be located above the ground (last floor) at a distance equal to the height of the floor frame.
  • The Governor mechanical brake cannot be installed, so the elevator will lack the mechanical brake function.
  • Cannot install shock absorber spring. The spring has the effect of reducing the impact on the body when the elevator falls freely...
  • Cannot insert other components such as pulley, engine... in some cases special design is required...

Therefore, the Pit is very important in elevator design, and if possible, the Pit should be made deep enough to increase safety in the elevator.

What is a pitless elevator?

Pitless elevators are a modern, convenient solution for families with limited space or who do not want to change the foundation structure of the house. Unlike traditional elevators that require a 1.2m to 1.5m deep pit below the lowest floor to accommodate equipment such as shock absorbers, safety brake controllers and other support systems, pitless home elevators do not require digging deep into the foundation. This is a big advantage for families who want to install an elevator but are afraid of affecting the structure of the house.

Instead of requiring a pit, components such as the shock absorber and safety brake systems are redesigned or simplified to fit into smaller spaces. Modern technologies enable these devices to operate efficiently even without a pit, providing high safety and durability for elevators without the inconvenience of having to change the foundation of a house.

Not having to dig a deep hole also helps save time and construction costs, suitable for spaces such as townhouses, small villas or apartments with limited area. In addition, pitless elevators also bring high aesthetics thanks to their compact design, which does not greatly affect the architecture and interior space.

Thanks to these advantages, pitless elevators are increasingly popular and highly appreciated in the market. Meeting the needs of users for convenience and simplicity in installation, this type of elevator has become the first choice for many families, especially those who want to have a combination of aesthetics and functionality without having to deeply intervene in the structure of the house.

What is the purpose of developing pitless elevators?

In some specific cases we cannot make a typical pit such as:

  • House renovation and installation of elevator
  • Small house, need to save space
  • House limited in height and depth
  • House has underground water, septic tank construction is difficult...

In such cases, elevator designers must find a way to develop a line of elevator products that do not need a pit while still ensuring safety features when used. So what is that technology? Why can the pit be ignored? Below are some modern technologies to help develop this product line:

  • Flat cable technology elevator
  • Hydraulic technology elevator
  • Screw technology elevator

So why can the above technology products skip the Pit? Please find out more about their principles as follows:

Flat cable technology elevator

Flat cable elevator is a modern solution with advanced design, replacing traditional round cables with flat cables, increasing friction and minimizing the risk of cable slippage during operation. The flat cable feature helps increase the contact area with the Pulley, significantly improving friction, thereby limiting cable slippage - a risk that can occur when the Pulley does not rotate, causing the cabin to slide up or down. In this case, the Governor system will automatically activate the mechanical brake to fix the cabin, ensuring maximum safety for the user.

In addition, the flat cable elevator design helps optimize the installation space, allowing for saving OH area and reducing the size of the machine room. Thanks to that, the cabin area can be expanded, creating a more spacious and comfortable feeling for users, especially in small spaces. In particular, the flat cable elevator also integrates an advanced electronic brake system, replacing the traditional mechanical brake system, helping to quickly detect and handle if the cabin moves beyond the safe speed.

With outstanding safety and utility features, flat cable elevators are the ideal choice for modern buildings that need to optimize space and increase safety. Although the cost is higher than traditional elevators, flat cable elevators bring great value thanks to their durability, smooth operation, safety and more spacious cabin space, meeting the needs of high-end buildings and houses with limited space.

Hydraulic technology elevator

Hydraulic elevators are home elevator solutions that operate thanks to a hydraulic piston system that pushes the cabin up and down, helping to move safely and smoothly. Unlike cable elevators, hydraulic elevators do not need a pit due to their simple structure and high load capacity from the hydraulic piston. Thanks to their good load capacity and slow moving speed, this type of elevator is especially suitable for families with limited space or unable to build a pit. Hydraulic elevators take up very little installation space, ensuring aesthetics and more spacious space for the house.

Hydraulic elevators also have the advantage of cost, saving more money than other product lines, suitable for many needs in the family. However, due to the design and operating principle, hydraulic elevators have slower speed and are only suitable for projects with a maximum height of 4 floors. This product line includes two main types: frameless hydraulic elevators - suitable for extremely small spaces and the elderly, usually installed in houses with a maximum of 2 floors; and framed hydraulic elevators - supporting a maximum of 4 floors, ideal for family projects that cannot build a pit but still require high safety and space saving. Thanks to the advantages of convenience, safety, and reasonable price, hydraulic elevators are becoming the optimal choice for modern families.

Hydraulic elevators have two main product lines:

  • Frameless hydraulic elevator (Maximum 2 floors only, installed for small spaces, elevator for the elderly)
  • Hydraulic elevator with frame (Maximum 4 floors, installed for families with small area, no pit)

Screw technology elevator

Screw elevators are one of the modern elevator technologies that use a large screw mechanism to push the cabin up and down. With the screw running vertically from top to bottom and the cabin equipped with gears that mesh with the screw, this system ensures stable and safe operation. One of the outstanding advantages of screw elevators is their large load capacity, high pulling force and slow speed, thereby increasing safety and not requiring pit construction like traditional elevators. The simple and safe movement system also helps save space, making screw elevators an ideal choice for families with limited space or unable to construct a pit.

Although screw elevators have many advantages in design and safety, their price is still higher than traditional elevators. In addition, with slow moving speed, screw elevators may not meet the requirements of projects that need to move quickly. However, with space-saving features and durable operation, screw elevators are still a worthy choice for families that require high safety and space saving.

In summary, all three pitless elevator technologies such as hydraulic elevators, flat cable elevators and screw elevators provide optimal solutions for families who cannot construct a pit or have limited space. However, for newly built houses with large construction areas, constructing a pit is still the best option to ensure long-term stability and efficiency for the elevator. Hoang Sa Viet Sankyo recommends that investors and families choose the elevator technology that suits their needs and space characteristics to achieve maximum satisfaction.
