This is the world's highest hydraulic elevator installation, containing four of the world's largest glass hydraulic elevators. They were built in 2008. The biggest challenge was that they couldn't use ropes (the load would had collapsed the ceiling) and the system installed had to be pleasing to the eye, meaning only one jack ram per car could be used.

I was involved in the design of these elevators. There were several major challenges. They didn't want traction elevators because they didn't want hoist ropes and counterweights to be visible. They required these cars travel at 150 FPM with a travel of 101 feet. While they are not the largest hydraulic elevators, they are very unique in the speed and travel. Check out the article in Elevator World for details on the equipment.

If you like this you should check out the Sperone Westwater gallery "moving room" elevator as well. When you walk into the building you are standing under the elevator with nothing between you and the elevator.

Well, if they didn't want this to be traction, why couldn't they just have installed MaxiSpace? MaxiSpace is MRL traction and doesn't require a counterweight and can go up to 500 ft/min and 300 ft.

Even a company as large as Otis didn't have the resources to build such massive jacks. They gave that job, as well as the job of designing the cars, to CemcoLift (which is now part of Otis). They produced what would be the largest hydraulic jacks ever built, consisting of five individual sections, and requiring specially constructed rigging to put them into place. Each of these rams is 100 feet long when fully extended and can carry up to 50,000 pounds.

because hydraulic motors also use traction equipment so that the turbines can pump the oil into the rams. Hydraulic elevator was DUMB for this type of building, should have used MRL traction! They're not too big to be so anwyay.
