This is the original basement traction TIGER LIFT®. It incorporates many innovative design features that make it well suited for many situations, especially retrofit applications.  Among its unique features:

• Unique structural tower arrangement for guide rails and machine, allowing for very little loading on hoistway walls - load is transmitted to pit slab.

• Governor operated overspeed safety

• 3.3.8 - 8x19 hoist cables

• Machine and governor located at bottom of hoistway, eliminating the need for penthouses, ladders or other elaborate means of equipment access.

• All equipment is can be located within the hoistway; controller can be remotely located if desired.

• Requires only 20 amps of 115 VAC single phase current

The Type I is the most expensive TIGER LIFT, but the savings in building construction in many instances will more than make up the difference compared to a less expensive model.  The Type I allows for many different cab configurations and equipment options.
