Disadvantages of hydraulic lifts

The lifting speed is relatively slow. The maximum speed is 1 m/s, and it is generally 0.25 m/s to 0.63 m/s, which is not suitable for occasions with large traffic.

Effective temperature control is essential because the oil in the piston system can easily overheat. The fluidity of the oil will change due to temperature fluctuations, so the oil may leak, or unstable movements may occur. Traction lifts are more resistant to temperature changes.

Other lift methods are generally quieter than hydraulic lifts.

In general, the lifting action is not as smooth as other lifting methods.

Despite these minor difficulties, hydraulic lifts are still widely used.

There is a certain amount of engine noise

If the pump station is not isolated from the well or is close to the well, the oil pump motor will produce a certain amount of noise when the elevator starts.

Risk of hydraulic oil leakage

The probability of wear of the piston seal of the domestic oil cylinder is higher after the service life increases. If it is not replaced regularly, it will cause leakage of hydraulic oil.

High installation and commissioning standards.

Depending on the installation and commissioning, the requirements for the professional knowledge and skills of the installer are higher than those of other lift platforms, so the comfort of hydraulic lifts should be evaluated.

Due to the high population density and tall buildings in the Chinese market, early villa elevators were basically hydraulic elevators.
