Choosing the right elevator can feel overwhelming – especially with evolving technology. At Leva.mk, we’ve installed elevators in everything from historic Ohrid homes to Skopje’s high-rises. Let’s break down your options.
Hydraulic Elevators: The Classic Choice

- Pros: Affordable installation, quiet operation.
- Cons: Higher energy usage, requires a machine room.
Traction Elevators: Speed and Efficiency
- Best For: Mid-to-high-rise buildings (6+ floors).
- Pros: Energy-efficient, faster speeds, longer lifespan.
- Leva.mk’s Pick: Schindler 3300 for commercial spaces.
Machine-Room-Less (MRL) Elevators: Space-Saving Innovation
- Best For: Modern homes or retrofits where space is limited.
- Pros: Compact design, eco-friendly, low maintenance.
