Elevators Designed for Every Space:
Machine Room & Machine Room-Less Solutions
Every building has different needs, from size, speed, design, to energy efficiency and cost. At Access Elevators, we offer two key elevator systems that cater to these needs: Machine Room (MR) and Machine Room-Less (MRL) elevators. Both are engineered for performance, safety, and long-term value, but serve different types of buildings and requirements.
Whether you’re constructing, renovating, or modernizing, understanding these options helps you make the right decision for your property.
Chat with usWhat is a Machine Room (MR) Elevator?
MR elevators are traditional systems that include a separate machine room – usually located above the elevator shaft. This room houses the machine, control panel, and other critical components. MR elevators have been a standard choice in the industry for decades, trusted for their reliability and service accessibility.
Key Advantages:
- High performance in heavy-duty and high-rise applications
- Easier maintenance with dedicated machine access
- Customizable for both freight and passenger use
- Ideal for commercial buildings, hospitals, and malls
With a dedicated space for all equipment, MR elevators offer excellent long-term durability and smoother upkeep for high-traffic environments.
What is a Machine Room-Less (MRL) Elevator?
MRL elevators eliminate the need for a separate machine room. Instead, the machine and control system are built directly into the elevator shaft top. This modern design is space-saving, energy-efficient, and perfect for buildings where every square foot counts.
Key Advantages:
- Space-saving – no separate room needed
- Lower construction cost
- Energy-efficient gearless machines
- Ideal for low to mid-rise buildings
MRL elevators are especially popular in residential and architectural projects where design flexibility and compact installation are key priorities.
