Traction elevators and hydraulic elevators both usually have these in their pits. Your elevator contractor will tell you each buffer contains more than an insignificant amount of oil. So you probably should have that pit sprinkler no matter what type of elevator it is. Think of those that might be in the cab that needs to smash into the buffers. That could be the very condition when the pit sprinkler is needed.
