PLAN
AND
SECTION
ELEVATOR
A hoisting and lowering mechanism
equipped with a car or platform
which moves in guides in a vertical direction
serving two or more floors of a building or
structure.
car movement can be controlled by
gravitational
manual
mechanical power
MECHANICAL LIFT, 1851
HYDRAULIC LIFT, 1854
EARLY ELEVATOR
ELISHA OTIS
introduced the safety elevator,
which prevented the fall of the cab
if the cable broke.

ELECTRIC ELEVATOR
An elevator system consisting of a car that is
mounted on a guide rails supported by a hoisting
cables and driven by electric hoisting machinery
Also called TRACTION ELEVATOR
HYDRAULIC ELEVATOR
An elevator system consisting of a car supported
by a piston that is moved by or moves against a
fluid under pressure
CLIMBING ELEVATOR
A climbing elevator is a self-ascending elevator with
its own propulsion that can be done by an
electric or a combustion engine.
Climbing elevators are used in guyed masts or
towers, in order to make easy access to parts
of these constructions, such as flight safety
lamps for maintenance.
PNEUMATIC ELEVATOR
Uses a vacuum on top of the cab and a valve on the
top of the "shaft" to move the cab upwards and
closes the valve in order to keep the cab at the same
level.
A diaphragm or a piston is used as a "brake", if

Round Trip Time considerations
1. Entry of passenger from ground floor
2. Exit of passenger on each floor of discharge
3. Door closing time before each floor of dischage
4. Door opening time on each discharging
operation
5. Acceleration period
6. Stopping and leveling period
7. Period of full rated speeds between stops
going up and going down
waiting time
passengers register a landing call until the door opens on
the boarding floor

ACCEPTABLE WAITING TIME

excellent good fair
20-25 sec 30-35 sec 35-40 sec
Sample Problem
Find out the number of LIFT required in a building with
the following details:
1. Gross area per floor = 1100 sq.m
2. Usable area = 950 sq.m
3. Nos. of landing including ground = 15
4. Population density = 9.5 / sq.m
5. Population in upper floors= 14 x (950/9.5) = 1400
6. LIFT Capacity and elevator speed= 20 passenger w/
2.5m/ sec
Sample Problem
1. LIFT capacity is 20 passenger with 2.5 m/sec
2. Determine RTT = 175 sec
3. Average passenger in a car = 20 x 0.80 = 16
4. Nos. of LIFT = 4 elevators
5. Waiting interval= T = RTT/N= 175/4= 43.75 or 44 sec
note: RTT = Round Trip Time
6. compute for HANDLING CAPACITY
formula: H = (300 x Q x 100) / (T x P)
H = (300 x 16 passengers x 100) / ( 44 sec x 1400 persons)
H= 7.79 %
