Elevator safety is non-negotiable, and the forged components at the heart of traction systems — sheaves, guide brackets, rope anchors and safety gear — must deliver consistent mechanical properties and dimensional accuracy across hundreds of thousands of operating cycles. Hot forging provides the grain flow integrity, impact resistance and dimensional repeatability that elevator OEMs demand from structural and safety-critical components. Shivam Forge's 20+ years of precision forging experience and ISO 9001:2015 certification make us a qualified and reliable supplier to India's elevator manufacturing industry.
Hot-forged traction sheave blanks in EN8 (for standard-duty lifts) and EN19 (for high-load, high-speed installations) for both geared and gearless traction machine applications.

Elevator OEM assembly lines run on dimensional interchangeability — every guide bracket, rope anchor and sheave must fit without adjustment. Shivam Forge's closed-die forging process delivers batch-to-batch dimensional repeatability to ±0.2 mm or better, matched by 100% first-piece inspection and AQL sampling on production runs.
Traction and deflector sheave forgings require the specific combination of machinability, hardness uniformity and structural density that EN8 and EN19 forgings provide. We have extensive tooling and process history for sheave blank forging in these grades, with groove profile machining available in-house or to customer-supplied drawings.
For safety gear bodies, rope anchors and governor components, we issue full material test reports (UTS, yield, elongation, hardness), heat treatment records and dimensional inspection certificates. Elevator OEM quality engineers can trace every safety-critical forging to its original heat of raw material.
Our ISO 9001:2015-certified quality management system provides systematic inspection, material traceability and documented process controls for every elevator forging production run. Elevator OEMs who audit our facility find a quality system aligned to the safety documentation requirements of lift safety standards.
We supply forged elevator components to Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers in the Indian manufacturing networks of Otis, Schindler, Kone, ThyssenKrupp and Mitsubishi Elevator. Our track record with these demanding OEM supply chains is the best reference for new customers evaluating our capability.
India's elevator market installs 80,000–100,000 lifts per year and growing rapidly with urbanisation and real estate construction. Shivam Forge's closed-die forging capability handles the high production volumes that elevator OEM supply schedules demand, with consistent 4–6 week lead times on established tooling.
Shivam Forge is an elevator and lift component forging manufacturer based at Shapar GIDC, Rajkot, Gujarat, producing precision hot forgings for traction sheaves, deflector pulleys, guide shoe brackets, rope anchor plates, car frame brackets, safety gear bodies and governor components. India's elevator industry installs 80,000–100,000 lifts per year, driven by urbanisation, high-rise residential construction and commercial real estate development. The demand for structurally reliable, dimensionally consistent forged elevator components — from standard 6-person passenger lifts to 3-tonne goods elevators and high-speed commercial tower lifts — is growing in parallel with this installation rate.
The mechanical case for forged elevator components over cast or fabricated alternatives is straightforward. Traction sheave forgings in EN8 and EN19 have a dense, low-porosity microstructure that enables clean groove profile machining and resists the surface fatigue caused by wire rope cycling — a cast iron sheave subject to the same dynamic loading would develop microcracking from its inherent porosity. Rope anchor plates and safety gear bodies forged in EN8D have grain flow aligned to the principal stress direction, providing superior impact resistance in the event of emergency braking or safety gear activation, which is precisely the scenario these components must survive.
Our elevator forging range covers the full structural and safety-critical component set: EN19 traction sheave blanks with machined bore and groove, IS 2062 E350 guide bracket and car frame forgings with hole-position tolerances to ±0.2 mm, EN8D rope anchor and safety gear forgings with tensile test and hardness certification, and hydraulic elevator cylinder flange blanks in AISI 4140. We supply both rough-forged and semi-machined components, and support customer-specific drawing requirements with our in-house die design capability.
Elevator OEM quality requirements are demanding, and Shivam Forge's ISO 9001:2015 quality management system is built to meet them. Material test reports with full chemical and mechanical data, heat treatment records with furnace temperature charts, dimensional inspection reports with all critical dimensions recorded and hardness test certificates for wear-critical surfaces are issued as standard for safety-critical elevator forgings. Our supply history with Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers to Otis, Schindler, Kone, ThyssenKrupp and Mitsubishi Elevator India documents our capability in this demanding sector.

Forged steel sheaves have significantly higher impact resistance, fatigue strength and material consistency than cast iron. In high-rise or high-speed elevator installations where sheave failure would be a safety event, forged EN19 steel sheaves are specified for their superior toughness and predictable mechanical properties under dynamic rope loading.
Yes, we offer semi-machined and fully machined traction sheave blanks with bore, groove profile and face dimensions machined to drawing. The groove profile — U-groove or undercut V-groove — is machined to the wire rope diameter specification provided by the customer.
For established tooling on repeat components, lead time is 3–5 weeks from order. For new components requiring die development, allow 6–8 weeks for tooling plus production. We work with elevator OEM procurement teams on scheduled supply programs to align lead times with installation project schedules.
