Premium Vertical Mobility · GCC

Three drive systems. One engineering standard.

AuroLift offers three passenger-elevator drive configurations, each chosen against your building's height, traffic profile, and architectural constraints — not against what we happen to stock.

Machine-Room-Less (MRL) gearless traction

The default for most mid- and high-rise projects. A compact permanent-magnet synchronous gearless motor mounts inside the shaft, freeing the rooftop machine room and shrinking the building's energy footprint by up to 35% versus geared systems. Ideal for residential and commercial towers up to 30 floors.

Geared traction

For high-traffic, high-rise applications where speeds above 2.5 m/s are required. Robust and serviceable, with a long history in regional hospitality and commercial projects.

Hydraulic

For low-rise residential, retrofit, and back-of-house service applications where shaft head room is limited and rated speed is low. Quiet, compact, and economical to maintain.

What's included in every AuroLift passenger system.

  • Permanent-magnet synchronous gearless drive with VVVF (variable voltage, variable frequency) control for smooth acceleration and energy recovery.
  • Premium cabin finishes — brushed stainless, etched titanium-gold mirror, wood veneer, stone, mirrored glass, custom architectural panels.
  • Modern signalling: LCD or TFT car operating panel, hall position indicators, multilingual voice annunciation (English + Arabic).
  • Destination-dispatch control systems for high-traffic commercial buildings, reducing peak-hour wait times by 20–30%.
  • Photocell door safety curtain across the full opening, anti-collision sensing, and emergency battery operation.
  • Optional BMS integration, access-control linkage, fireman's service, and earthquake-mode operation.
  • Full Civil Defence submittal pack, BIM/Revit models, and CAD blocks for architect coordination.

How we deliver a passenger elevator project.

  1. Inquiry & brief. Share drawings, BoQ, or a one-line description of your building. A senior engineer reviews shaft, traffic, and code constraints.
  2. Proposal. Within 24–72 hours: detailed BoQ, cabin renderings, fixed pricing, and indicative delivery schedule.
  3. Submittal & approval. Civil Defence submittal package prepared in parallel with manufacturing.
  4. Installation & commissioning. On-site by certified AuroLift crews. Load tests, safety tests, and handover documentation completed before sign-off.
  5. Lifecycle service. Annual maintenance contract begins automatically with a 24-month warranty on every component installed.

Built for the Gulf, before you ask.

Components are climate-rated for sustained 50°C ambient conditions, with sealed drives and door operators that tolerate dust ingress without performance loss. Voltage variation typical of regional grids is absorbed at the drive without nuisance trips. Sealed bearings, corrosion-resistant fixtures, and coastal-spec finishes are available where projects sit near salt-laden air.

Cabin finishes are specified to the same standard as luxury hospitality fit-outs — etched titanium-gold stainless steel, hairline brushed panels, marble inlay, mirrored crystal glass, and indirect LED ceiling treatments. Where your architect has a specific direction, we co-engineer the cabin against the building's interior package.

FAQ

Passenger elevators — common questions.

The right capacity is a function of building population, peak-five-minute demand, and number of elevators in the group. As a rough guide, mid-rise residential towers typically use 1,000–1,250 kg cars at 1.6–2.5 m/s. Our engineering team runs a traffic analysis as part of the proposal, so you receive a sized recommendation rather than a guess.

Standard lead times from confirmed PO to commissioning are 12–18 weeks for in-portfolio passenger systems, including manufacturing, shipping, and on-site installation. Civil-Defence-ready submittals are prepared in parallel so the building is ready to receive equipment when it arrives.

Yes. Machine-room-less passenger systems are fully compliant with EN 81-20/50 and accepted by Qatar Civil Defence (QCDD) under the relevant submittal route. Every AuroLift MRL installation ships with full QCDD documentation.

12–18 weeks for standard passenger configurations. Custom architectural cabin packages can extend this by 2–4 weeks. We confirm a firm schedule in writing within the proposal.

Yes. Revit families, AutoCAD blocks, shaft sections, and 3D cabin models are provided at no cost when our systems are specified into the project. Email hello@aurolift.com with the project name and we'll send the appropriate library.
