Geared Machines

Reliable drive systems for lifts holding up to 30 passengers.

About geared machines

Geared machines provide dependable traction for lifts across all building types, from residential blocks to busy hospitals. Our comprehensive range includes Sassi and Montanari solutions handling loads from 274kg to 15,000kg static capacity. These proven worm-and-wheel designs deliver consistent performance with sealed-for-life synthetic oil, reducing maintenance requirements. Available with multiple mounting positions, extended shafts for bottom drive applications and A3/UCM-compliant auxiliary brakes, our geared machines suit new installations and upgrade projects alike.
