    TYPES OF LIFTS

    WORKING OF LIFT

    HOW DOES A LIFT WORK?
    • The working principle of an elevator or
    lift is similar to the pulley system. A pulley
    system is used to draw the water from the
    well. This pulley system can be designed with
    a bucket, a rope with a wheel. A bucket is
    connected to a rope that passes throughout a
    wheel. This can make it very easy to draw the
    water from the well. Similarly, present
    elevators use the same concept. 
    HYDRAULIC
    ELEVATORS
    • Hydraulic elevators are supported by a piston at
    the bottom of the elevator that pushes the
    elevator up as an electric motor forces oil or
    another hydraulic fluid into the piston.  The
    elevator descends as a valve releases the fluid
    from the piston. They are used for low-rise
    applications of 2-8 stories and travel at a
    maximum speed of 200 feet per minute. The
    machine room for hydraulic elevators is located
    at the lowest level adjacent to the elevator shaft.
    TRACTION
    ELEVATORS 
    • Traction elevators are lifted by ropes, which
    pass over a wheel attached to an electric motor
    above the elevator shaft.  They are used for
    mid and high-rise applications and have much
    higher travel speeds than hydraulic elevators. 
    A counter weight makes the elevators more
    efficient by offsetting the weight of the car and
    occupants so that the motor doesn't have to
    move as much weight.
    MACHINE-ROOM-LESS
    ELEVATORS 
    • Machine-Room-Less Elevators are traction
    elevators that do not have a dedicated machine
    room above the elevator shaft.  The machine sits
    in the override space and is accessed from the top
    of the elevator cab when maintenance or repairs
    are required. The control boxes are located in a
    control room that is adjacent to the elevator shaft
    on the highest landing and within around 150 feet
    of the machine.
    Platform lifts
    Platform lifts can take a number of different forms,
    but they are usually used in low-rise buildings where
    they will only travel a few floors at most.
    This means they tend to move more slowly than
    passenger lifts and are often used for disabled access in 
    buildings where most people will take the stairs.
    • Passenger lifts
    • Passenger lifts are designed to carry people and can
    come in a variety of forms. As these lifts carry
    passengers, they should meet specific requirements
    and standards to ensure that they are safe. They can
    come in a range of sizes, transporting different
    numbers of passengers.
    • These lifts can be customised with different designs,
    both inside and outside of the cabin, so they can fit in
    with the design and style of the space around it.
    • Glass lifts
    • Glass lifts are a type of passenger lift that
    have glass walls and doors. They can be
    used in any situation that a regular
    passenger lift would be used in, but they can
    offer a stylish alternative. They are often
    chosen for their aesthetics and can provide a
    way of maintaining the style of a building
     whilst providing a means of transportation.
    • Service lifts
    • Service lifts tend to not be designed to
    carry passengers, but usually carry goods
     of some description. This also means that
    these lifts may not have to meet the same
    level of standards required of passenger 
    lifts.
    • Trolley lifts
    • Trolley lifts are designed to transport
     larger goods on trolleys and roll cages.
    They are often found within a shop
    setting or any other environment where
    you may need to take deliveries and 
    transport them between floors.
    • Disabled access lifts
    • Disabled access lifts can take a variety of forms
    and can fall under many different categories,
    while serving the purpose of transporting those
    with mobility issues.
    • Firefighting lift
    • A lift designed to have additional
    protection, with controls that enable it to
    be used under the direct control of the 
    fire and rescue service in fighting a fire.
    A firefighting lift is required if the 
    building has a floor more than 18m
    above, or more than 10m below fire
     service vehicle access level.
