A. Yes, the difference is all in the type of drive system you choose for your elevator. The 5 types are roped hydraulic, winding drum, counter weight, vacuum and now gearless. Please check your local and state codes in regards to vacuum elevators. Each system has its advantages and cost considerations. The winding drum is the least expensive of the five.
