Lifts/Elevators can be classified according to their hoist mechanism into 4 main types:
Types of Lifts
Low-Rise buildings (1 – 3 stories)
Typically use hydraulic elevators because of their lower initial cost
Mid-Rise buildings (4 -11 stories)
Typically use Geared Traction Elevators
High-Rise buildings (12 + stories)
Typically use Gear-Less Traction Elevators
- Holed (Conventional) Hydraulic Elevators
- Hole-less Hydraulic Elevators
- Telescopic Hydraulic Elevators
- Non-telescoping (single stage) Hydraulic Elevators
- Roped Hydraulic Elevators
- Geared Traction Elevators
- Gear-less Traction Elevators
- Machine-Room-Less Elevators
Pneumatic elevators are raised and lowered by controlling air pressure in a chamber in which the elevator sits. By simple principles of physics; the difference in air pressure above and beneath the vacuum elevator cab literally transports cab by air. It is the vacuum pumps or turbines that pull cab up to the next Floor and the slow release of air pressure that floats cab down. They are especially ideal for existing homes due to their compact design because excavating a pit and hoistway are not required.
Climbing elevators are often used in work and construction areas. They hold their own power device on them, mostly electric or combustion engine.
