Some people say that hydraulic home elevator technology is immature and has a high failure rate, is it true?

Hydraulic home elevator is a kind of traditional home elevator, which has the advantages of simple structure, smooth operation, low price, etc. However, compared with the new elevator technology (e.g. machine room elevator, machine room-less elevator, etc.), it does have some limitations and shortcomings. Here are some of the possible disadvantages:

Slower speed: Hydraulic elevators are usually slower and cannot meet some specific needs.

Height limitations: Due to the working principle of hydraulic elevators, they have low height limitations and cannot meet the needs of certain high-rise buildings.

Machine room required: Hydraulic elevators require a machine room, which takes up more space.

Hydraulic oil leakage: Since hydraulic elevator needs to use hydraulic oil to work, there may be leakage in the oil pipe, oil tank and other parts of the elevator, which need regular inspection and maintenance.

Lower energy efficiency: the energy efficiency of hydraulic elevator is lower, which may cause energy waste in the process of using.

High failure rate: Compared with the new elevator technology, the failure rate of hydraulic elevator may be higher.

In summary, although the hydraulic home elevator has the advantages of low price and simple structure, there are some shortcomings, such as slow speed, height limitation, demand for machine room, oil leakage and other problems. At the same time, as the hydraulic type elevator technology is more mature, its failure rate may also be higher. Therefore, when choosing a home elevator, it is necessary to make comprehensive considerations based on specific needs and circumstances.
