ICON Series MRL Traction Elevator
The next generation of vertical transportation — performance, flexibility, and quiet precision built into every ride.
The GMV North America ICON Series MRL Traction Elevator redefines what’s possible in commercial elevator design. Developed for reliability and installation efficiency, ICON Series is a machine room–less (MRL) traction elevator that fits seamlessly into existing or new hoistways—unlocking modern traction performance where it once wasn’t possible.
Designed for commercial projects across North America, ICON Series delivers smoother rides, quieter operation, and higher energy efficiency than traditional designs, while keeping GMV’s hallmark advantage: a completely non-proprietary system that empowers independent installers and building owners.
Smarter Design. Faster Installation.
The ICON’s series flexible architecture means it can often fit into hoistways originally built for hydraulic elevators—no extensive structural changes required.
Combined with GMV’s 100% Complete Package approach, installers receive everything from cables to controllers on a single skid, streamlining logistics and reducing downtime on-site.
ICON series is compatible with a wide range of elevator shafts and can be installed in almost any manufacturer’s hoistway—something rarely achievable before. It’s the right choice for modernization projects and new commercial developments alike.
