Direct Drop-In Performance & Fast Retrofit Delivery

TBM Belted MRL Replacement Machine

Keep Your Modernization on Schedule.

Eliminate proprietary bottlenecks. Avoid hoistway re-engineering. Meet strict modernization deadlines with the Torin TBM, engineered specifically for 2:1 belted MRL systems.

Belted MRL modernizations can’t wait on proprietary backlogs.

When first-generation belted MRL machines reach end-of-life or suffer mechanical failure, contractors are often faced with proprietary replacement lead times, exorbitant costs, or complete hoistway structural rework.

The Torin TBM is your open-market, drop-in mechanical solution, engineered to interface directly with existing 2:1 belted structural layouts, keeping projects on schedule, controlling costs, and getting cars running without reinventing the hoistway.

  • Long lead times and proprietary lock-in on OEM belted replacement machines

  • Unplanned downtime costs money, delays inspections, and frustrates building owners

  • Costly structural re-work when retrofitting traditional overhead spaces

  • Sourcing headaches trying to coordinate separate belts, shackles, and safety components
