MRL / MACHINE ROOM LESS GOODS LIFT

The Controller: Since there is no room for it, the control panel is usually built into the wall of the top floor landing, hidden behind a slim, locked steel door.

Heavy-Duty Cabin: Usually finished in "Durasteel," chequer-plate flooring, and reinforced with "bump rails" to protect the walls from trolley impacts.

Counterweight System: Even though it's compact, it still uses a counterweight to balance the load, which is why it stays so energy-efficient.

Safety Gear: Includes an overspeed governor and instantaneous or progressive safety gear that "grips" the rails if a fault occurs.

Space Saving: By eliminating the machine room, you gain usable floor space or reduce the building's total height. This is a massive "win" for architects and warehouse managers.

Energy Efficiency: MRL gearless motors use up to 30–50% less energy than hydraulic or older geared traction systems.

Environmental Impact: Unlike hydraulic lifts, there is no hydraulic oil involved. This removes the risk of leaks, odors, and the need for oil disposal.

Smooth Performance: They offer superior leveling accuracy (crucial for loading pallets/forklifts) and a much quieter, smoother ride than traditional goods lifts.
