SEL Series rack and pinion permanent elevators are suitable for outdoor and indoor use. Constructed to meet any height requirement, SEL Series industrial lifts provide safe and efficient vertical transportation of persons, tools and equipment. Payloads range from 1 000 lb (450 kg) to 4 000 lb (1 815 kg) and lifting speed can reach 300 feet (90 meters) per minute. Customized car sizes and payloads are available upon request.
Cars are delivered with flexible wall ties and adjustable turnbuckles system. All SEL Series permanent elevators are built with common electrical and mechanical components easily available from local suppliers. Other features include:
- variable frequency converter integrated
- relay based control system; no PLC
If required, the SEL Series permanent elevators can conform to explosion proof requirements and regulation.

Replacing old elevators is not that easy
In 2015, Fraco was involved in the replacement of a traction elevator that was built in 1970. The elevator was made of wood and installed in a concrete shaft that didn’t allow a regular rack and pinion elevator to be easily installed.
The replacement project was completed at the Sun-Maid production facility in Kingsburg, California. The functions of the new elevator were to move the sugar to the production line. The Fraco elevator was going to become a strategic element for the raisin production chain and we had to make sure that it did not slow down the production process and did not cause downtime.
After collecting the exact dimensions of the elevator shaft, our project team designed a solution that fit seamlessly into the existing elevator shaft. The proposed solution is as follows: we used a narrow panel mast and attached it to a new steel beam structure. We had to fix it to the floor and the roof, in order to avoid placing the wall ties on the concrete floors that would not have been able to support these new loads. We also had to design special doors and screenings because there was already a cage and walls that could not be removed from the structure. The project has been approved without problem by the Californian authorities.
