The HydroElite Experience

HydroElite H2 VICI

Eliminating oil coolers and regenerating energy

HydroElite H2 VICI is a groundbreaking innovation from Hydroware that eliminates the need for oil coolers. Hydroware’s new technology completely makes away with bypass of oil and instead either burns of the energy generated during downward travel on either a brake resistor or stores it in supercapacitors. The energy that is stored in the supercapacitors can then be re-used for the next upwards travel with the lift.

Unlimited travels/hour with minimal heating of oil and regeneration of energy.

VENI. VIDI. VICI.

HydroElite VICI is available exclusively with the H2 control system and brings all the usual benefits of a HydroElite package.



Energy‑efficient lift

HydroElite H2 VICI is in operation in Borås

The first HydroElite H2 VICI installation now in operation marks a technological breakthrough for hydraulic lifts. The system significantly reduces energy consumption and eliminates the need for oil cooling. The installation was carried out as part of a modernisation project in Borås, in collaboration with RC Hiss.

We chose VICI because it represents the future of hydraulic lifts – unparallel energy-efficiency combined with reliability for high traffic applications. We’re proud to be the first to bring this innovation to life.

Benefits with HydroElite H2 VICI

Low energy consumption

Thanks to the direct-driven motor and regeneration, the energy demand is reduced both during up and down travel. As a result, VICI can deliver approximately 60% lower energy consumption during travel compared to the already energy efficient HydroElite VENI, and around 40% lower compared to the previous premier choice, HydroElite VIDI.

Eliminating oil coolers

Thanks to its efficient design, up to 80% energy savings can be achieved. With no by-pass of oil, built-in regenerative capabilities, and no need for an oil cooler, energy consumption is pushed to an absolute minimum.

Main features

The H2 enables you to use Hydroware as your number ONE professional partner for everything you need for all your modernisation projects – ONE-Stop-Shop.
ONE partner for All.

ONE fast and simple installation and commissioning method. The same shaft installation and commissioning logic, the same user interface and the same supplier. ONE experience for All.

HydroCloud is included on all H2 units. Get access to all your connected lifts and get real time status via one dashboard. Register for error codes directly via push notifications.

View real time and historical data from your lift portfolio – error codes, status, statistics and more. Enjoy remotely updated software, documentation and run diagnostics thanks to the available tools.

Each unit comes with an integrated 10” touch display simplifying navigation, commissioning, tests and trouble shooting. Navigate the interface the same way you navigate a smartphone.

Each unit can be accessed remotely by any smart device while on-site by a locally generated WiFi. Everything that can be done on the unit, can also be done on your own smart device.

H2 is developed according to CANopen-LIFT standard allowing seamless communication between components following the specification. CANopen LIFT devices, components and wirings prepared for H2 can practically be viewed as plug and play installation.

H2 includes the PSU H2 DILIGENS, a safe absolute positioning system with UCM and overspeed tripping functions. Activates electrical safety gears and replaces all safety-relevant limit switches and floor sensors – SIL3 compliant and certified according to EN81-20/50 PESSRAL.

Everything from one supplier

HydroElite VICI is available in the H2 configuration.
H2 is Hydroware’s latest control system and is designed for both HydroElite H2 and TractionElite H2. With H2, you have one supplier for all your projects, simple installation, and a future‑proof solution enabled by our IoT technologies.

Having both the drive and control system delivered by the same supplier provides greater reliability and simplifies support, service, and warranty handling throughout the entire lifetime of the lift.
