MRL vs Machine-Room Lift
A common question when planning a passenger lift is whether to choose a machine-room-less (MRL) lift or a conventional machine-room lift. Here is how they compare.
| Feature | MRL (Machine-Room-Less) | Conventional Machine-Room Lift |
|---|---|---|
| Machine room | Not required — the motor sits within the shaft | Separate machine room, usually above the shaft |
| Building space | Saves space; no rooftop machine room | Needs a dedicated machine-room area |
| Drive | Gearless traction with VVVF control | Geared or gearless traction |
| Energy use | Generally more energy-efficient | Typically higher, especially geared units |
| Headroom & pit | Compact overhead and pit | Greater overhead and pit required |
| Ride quality | Smooth, quiet gearless ride | Good; varies with machine type |
| Best suited to | New buildings & space-constrained sites | Heavy-duty use and certain retrofits |
