The TESI Trac-Cab systems utilize a dual drive, each with an independent automatic safety brake. The brakes are connected to the drive gears, designed for the loads of emergency braking. It is common to see cable elevators cause damage to the guide rails when the safety brakes engage, requiring expensive repairs. This is avoided with the Trac-Cab heavy gear engaged brakes.
