When it comes to heavy-duty “workhorse” elevator drives, you’ve come to the right place. Magnetek’s DC Elevator Drives handle a range of 5 to 800 horsepower.

There are thousands of buildings around the world with DC elevator motors installed in good running condition. It’s very expensive to replace them so, with over 70,000 Magnetek DC Elevator Drives in operation throughout the world you’d be hard pressed to find a more reliable, more dependable drive for your DC elevator motor on the market.

Our all digitally controlled DC elevator drives offer easy-to-understand adjustment settings, a flexible configuration to meet up with your car controller and include extensive diagnostics for easy troubleshooting if it should ever be necessary. In addition, we’ve designed under-voltage and over-current safeguards to protect the equipment as well as a built-in CSA approved motor overload to protect motor armature and field.

We’ve been designing and manufacturing DC elevator drives since 1978, today offering our 9th generation, most advanced DC drives ever. Here’s a very important point to remember: Magnetek Drives are specifically designed for cyclic elevator applications; they are not simply re-rated industrial drives. Our standard DC elevator drive’s flexibility allows it to meet many elevator control requirements. We welcome the opportunity to design a custom version for your car controller.
