The GoldStar H series refers to a series of high rise traction elevators made by South Korean elevator manufacturer GoldStar (and later LG) in the 1990s.

Description[]

H series is a series of high rise elevator model for high rise buildings of typically more than 30 floors. The model was launched in 1991 that based on the Hitachi's technology. It continued to be made by LG Industrial Systems after GoldStar changed its name to Lucky GoldStar (LG) in 1994 until 2000-2001 when it was succeeded by the Ds4 (initially knowm as Di4) and Di5 models made by LG-OTIS/Otis Elevator Korea/Sigma, which were part of the Distributed Inverter (Di) series.

The main model in the series is HVP, which is a passenger only elevator type. There are two versions of HVP. The first one is HVP-I which was launched in 1991 and was designed for buildings up to 30 floors. It uses geared machine with helical gears and had a speed range between 90 and 150 meters per minute, or 1.5 to 2.5 meters per second. The second one is HVP-II which was launched in 1994 and was designed for buildings with more than 30 floors (maximum number of floor is unknown). It uses gearless machine and had a speed range between 120 to 360 meters per minute, or 2 to 6 meters per second. Both HVP-I and HVP-II were discontinued in 2000.

GoldStar also made HVS (passenger/service) and HVF (freight, not to be confused to the Hitachi HVF) models. They are basically the high rise version of the LVS/LVF (low rise) and MVS/MVF (mid rise) models. Both models were also discontinued in 2000.

In 1997, LG Industrial Systems launched the HGP model which is an improvement of the HVP model. It is equipped with a button beep on the floor buttons. The maximum speed is estimated to be 240 meters per minute, or 4 meters per second. It was discontinued in 2001 and was succeeded by the Ds4 and Di5 models.
