Geared Traction Elevators have a gearbox that is attached to the motor, which drives the wheel that moves the ropes. Geared traction elevators are capable of travel speeds up to 500ftmin. The maximum travel distance for a geared traction elevator is around 250ft. Geared traction elevators are middle of the road in terms of initial cost, ongoing maintenance costs, and energy consumption.

Geared traction machines are driven by AC electric motors. Geared machines use worm gears to control mechanical movement of elevator cars by "rolling" steel hoist ropes over a drive sheave which is attached to a gearbox driven by a high speed motor. These machines are generally the best option for basement or overhead traction use for speeds up to 500 ftmin (2.5 ms).
