AGENDA FOR TODAY: Elevator

What Is Elevator?
• Elevator also called lift, car that moves in a vertical shaft to
carry passengers or freight between the levels of a multi-
storey building.
• Most modern elevators are propelled by electric motors,
with the aid of a counterweight, through a system of cables
and sheaves (pulleys).
• By opening the way to higher building, the elevator played a
decisive role in creating the characteristic urban geography
of many modern cities, especially in the Urban States, and
promises to fill an indispensable role in future city
development.

Uses Of Elevators:
• Elevators or lifts, as they are commonly called, is a form of
vertical transport used primarily to mover between
multiple floors found in high-rises and skyscrapers. These
are used to transport both people and goods from one floor
to another.
• Elevators are also seen in large ships with multiple decks.
In fact today elevators have become a necessary addition to
high-rises and other large buildings to make it easier for
people with mobility issues to negotiate those using
wheelchairs.

Types OF Elevators:
An Elevator is a vertical transport system that
carries people or goods between the floors of
building safely and efficiently:
• Traction with a machine room
• Machine-Room-Less (MRL) traction,
• Hydraulic
