Model Train Elevator PTE-165

PTE-165 Model Train Elevator

Motorized Vertical Lift System – 165 cm (65") Platform for Z to HO/OO Scales

The PTE-165 by Proses is a high-precision vertical train elevator designed to transport model trains between layout levels with exceptional stability and smoothness.
With a 165 cm (65") platform, it supports longer full-length train sets from Z to HO/OO scales — depending on the number of units — and provides an ideal solution where traditional ramps or helices are not practical.

Technical Specifications:

• Compatible Scales: Z, N, TT, HO, OO, or any scale that fits to platform size
• Vertical Travel Distance: Approx. 420 mm (16.5 inches)
• Unit Height: Approx. 600 mm (23.6 inches)
• Lift Mechanism:
  • Driven by high-torque stepper motors for accurate, reliable motion control
  • Precision lead screw ensures smooth vertical travel
  • Dual linear guide rails provide stable, vibration-free movement and perfect alignment
• Control System: Microcontroller-based logic with EEPROM memory
• Level Management:
  • Top and bottom levels set via mechanical limit switches
  • Middle level is programmable and stored in memory
• Operation Modes:
  • Manual up/down buttons for setup and fine adjustment
  • Call buttons for automatic travel to saved levels
• Safety Features: Integrated limit switches, over-travel protection
• Construction: Robust aluminum and steel frame for long-term precision and durability
• Power Requirement: 12V DC regulated
• Included: 12V power supply

Applications:

• Vertical access for multi-deck layouts
• Staging yard transitions
• Space-saving solution for modular or shelf-based designs

Customization Options:
