ELSCO’s got your covered in high-speed, high-rise applications

Experience ride quality in a class of its own

To provide the best ride quality experience, high-speed elevators in high-rise buildings and skyscrapers require roller guides designed for extreme applications.

Choose the high-performance ELSCO roller guide pairing that best suits your requirements:

Express-3 and Model A

First-class ride quality in very high-speed applications

In applications up to a maximum of 2,000 fpm and 3,500 lbs the Express-3 is the ideal roller guide, although it can handle higher capacities of up to 5,000 lbs when used at a maximum speed of 1,200 fpm.

At speeds of 1,200 fpm and over, the recommended counterweight roller guide is the Model A, while at speeds below 1,200 fpm the Model C is recommended.

Express-6 and Model A

The pinnacle of roller guide performance

The Express-6 has a higher maximum car capacity of up to 4,000 lbs at speeds of 2,000 fpm and can handle even higher capacities of up to 6,000 lbs when used at a maximum speed of 1,400 fpm.

At all speeds and capacities the Model A is the recommended counterweight.

 

Used in the applications described above, ELSCO roller guides will deliver the optimal ride quality experience. If your requirements fall outside these application ranges, please contact ELSCO Customer Service for additional advice on guide selection.
