Self-Contained System The Gen2 system’s method of hoisting – the coated steel belt – goes well beyond the limitations of conventional wire rope. The belt’s increased strength and flexibility allowed Otis to redesign the elevator’s key components into a compact, integrated unit that fits in the hoistway, eliminating the need for a machine room. And the Gen2 system’s controller is compact enough to fit in the hoistway, so there’s no need for a control room. |
