This document provides an overview of different types of lifts (elevators) categorized by hoist machine type, building height, building type, location within the building, and special use. It describes the main types of lifts including hydraulic, traction, hospital, domestic, industrial, commercial, and parking lifts. Traction lifts are further broken down into geared, gearless, and machine roomless types. Key specifications and applications are provided for each lift category.

2. LIFT

3. HISTORY
• The earliest known reference to an elevator is
in the works of the Roman architect
Vitruvius, who reported that Archimedes (c.
287 BC-c. 212 BC) built his first elevator
probably in 236 BC.
• The Equitable life Building completed in 1870
in NEW YORK CITY was the first office
building to have passenger elevator.

4. INTRODUCTION
• The lift is a type of vertical
transport equipment that
efficiently moves people or
goods between floors (levels,
decks) of a building, vessel or
other structure.
• Generally powered by electric
motors that either drive
cables, hoist, or pump
hydraulic fluid to raise a
cylindrical piston like a jack.

5. TYPES OF LIFT
• According to Hoist Machine
• According to Building Hight
• According to Building Type
• According to Elevator Location
• According to Special Use

6. ACCORDING TO HOIST MACHINE
• Hydraulic Elevator
• Traction Elevator

7. HYDRAULIC LIFT
• A hydraulic lift is a device for moving
objects using force created by pressure
on a liquid inside a cylinder that moves
a piston upward. Incompressible oil is
pumped into the cylinder, which forces
the piston upward. When a valve
opens to release the oil, the piston
lowers by gravitational force.
• The principle for hydraulic lifts is based
on Pascal‘s law for generating force or
motion.

8. • Use for low hight building (2-8 floors).
• Speed is low i.e. 200 feets per minute.

9. TRACTION LIFT ( PULL LIFT)
• 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.
• Traction elevators have main types as follows:
• A) Geared Traction Elevators
• B) Gear-less Traction Elevators
• C) Machine-Room-Less Elevators

10. • A- Geared Traction Elevators:
They have a gearbox that is attached to the motor, which drives the
wheel that moves the ropes. These are capable of travel speeds up to
500 feet per minute.
B- Gear-less Traction Elevators:
They have the wheel attached directly to the motor. These are capable
of speeds up to 2000 feet per minute.
C- Machine-Room-Less Elevators:
They are typically traction elevators that do not have a dedicated
machine room above the elevator shaft. The machine sits in the
override space and the controls sit above the ceiling adjacent to the
elevator shaft.

11. ACCORDING TO BUILDING HIGHT
• For Low Rise Building ( 1-3 Floors)
• For Middle Rise Building (4-11 Floors)
• For High Building (12- 12+ Floors)

12. ACCORDING TO BUILDING TYPE
• There are mainly five types of Lift available
1. Hospital Elevator
2. Domestic Elevator
3. Industrial Elevator
4. Commercial Elevator
5. Parking Elevator

13. HOSPITAL ELEVATOR
• Hospital bed elevators generally
transport patients who are not well
enough to sit up even in a
wheelchair.
• Many contemporary bed elevators
are manufactured to consume
extremely low amounts of power
and to be durable with a number of
safety features built-in.
• Speed of elevator 100 350 Ft / min.
• Door width between 900-1100mm

14. DOMESTIC LIFT
• Domestic elevators which are intended to
move passengers up and down stairs in a
multilevel residence are quite similar to
those used in large public buildings.
• They can be built either inside the home
or outside the home.
• Most often domestic elevators designed
for carrying passengers in a residential
setting only carry perhaps two to four
people safely and comfortably.

15. INDUSTRIAL LIFT
• These lift are use in construction, loading or unloading the goods
• These lift are of two types
• A) HOIST LIFT
• B) INCLINED LIFT

16. HOIST LIFT
• Hoist elevators are operated by a pulley
and they can be a simple platform or a
cage in which humans or heavy materials
are moved up and down during industrial
applications.
• Generally, a pulley operates a rope or
chain that wraps around a drum causing
the elevator to rise or descend.
• Hoist elevators carrying materials and
equipment to upper levels as needed
while the building is being constructed.

17. INCLINED LIFT
• This is a much quicker method of
loading and unloading cargo than with
a hoist elevator because there is no
stopping to unload.
• Everything happens in one fluid
motion. Incline elevators when used
for industrial purposes are usually
temporary.

18. COMMERCIAL LIFT
1. COMMERCIAL PASSANGER LIFT
• Used by the people for movement from
one floor to another.
• 8-10 people is the basic capacity.
2. FERIGHT LIFT
• Used for transport the goods in
comercial area.
• Locating near the store room.
• Capacity to lift 2300-45000 kg load.

19. PARKING LIFT
• These are the type of lift
which are used for a
parking purpose.
• Used in automobile
showroom, multi story
parking.
• Mainly they are not
covered, having only base.

20. ACCORDING TO ELEVATOR LOCATION
• CAPSULE LIFT.
• In this lift except door side all the sides
are made up of glass.
• Situated at the front facade of the
building.
• PLATFOM LIFT
• These lift are fully made up of iron and
steel and all sides are covered.
• Situated inside the building.
