Passenger Lift
Residential Lifts are specially used in residences or huge buildings. These residential lifts are fabricated using the premium quality raw material. This elevator is known for its qualities like durability, low power consumption and high load bearing capacity. People in residential buildings definitely need an elevator as it will make their routine activities easier. Residential elevators are designed for carrying passenger of 2-4 people safely and comfortably.
Residential Elevators can be of enormous importance in simplifying life, helping to lessen daily re-occurring movements of climbing stairs. Residential elevators take up much less area than stairwells, thus help to save a huge portion of the location. The elevator can even be installed outside on an external wall, providing an indoor entry at each level. A home elevator acts as a fruitful investment for many, helping to increase the resale value of the home. Residential Elevators reduce cases of typical accidents such as crumbling down the stairs or in worse cases, children slip over stair rails.
BASED ON THE TECHNOLOGY USED FOR LIFTING, PASSENGER ELEVATORS
HYDRAULIC LIFTS
Hydraulic lifts use hydraulic fluid power to work. The lift moves up and down supported on the piston located at the base of the lift. These lifts cannot be used in buildings that are more than six storeys tall. Hydraulic lifts can be grouped into two types – lifts with holes at the base of the cavity and lifts without holes at the base of the cavity.
STAIRLIFTS
Stair lifts are special machines that are intended for domestic applications. They run up the staircase being attached to its structure. These single person machines are supplied and maintained by specialist stair lift manufacturers.
SCISSOR LIFTS
These lifts get their name from the scissors that lift their working floor. They are different as they are mounted in pits and require no supporting mechanism above the platform. Hydraulic cylinders force the scissor arms together lifting the platform. They can handle very heavy loads and are widely used as car lifts. Small scissor lifts are the most widely used lifting equipment device in industry and commerce.
TRACTION LIFTS
Traction lift follows the principle of traction and weight balance. In this, the capsule meant to house passengers is counterbalanced in weight by another load of equal weight. Traction lifts are of two types namely geared and gearless. Lifts with gears consist of a gear box attached to the electric motor that powers the machine. The gears drive the wheel over which the rope with the cab on one end and counterbalancing weight on the other end are fixed. In gearless traction lifts, the electric motor is directly connected to the wheel.
