With the advancement of science and technology to a great extent our life has become fast and smooth. Today we get anything that we want in a fraction of a second only because of innovation in the field of technical world. Today life has become so procedural that now to climb a staircase is a pain or time consuming.Therefore, to comfort the mass while climbing long staircase elevators came into existence.
In simple words we can define Elevators as "lifting device consisting of a platform or cage that is raised and lowered mechanically in a vertical shaft in order to move people from one floor to another in a building".
Different types of Elevators are:
1 Stair lifts
2 Platform Elevators
3 Home Elevators
4 Commercial Elevators
5 Wheelchair lifts
6 Aircraft Elevator
7 Others
Thus with time we can see that even the above mentioned lifts or elevators has been divided into sub-heads; as the Stair lifts are also found I n the form of stair guide stair lift, Flow stair lift, Silver stair lift etc.Platform lifts has come with carrier lifts which is very beneficial in commercial buildings where it saves lots of space.
Usefulness of Elevators:
1 Elevators may feature talking devices as an accessibility aid for the blind.
2 In addition to floor arrival notifications, the computer announces the direction of travel, and notifies the passengers before the doors are to close.
3 In addition to the call buttons, elevators usually have floor indicators (often illuminated by LED) and direction lanterns
4 In addition to lanterns, most elevators make a chime to indicate if the elevator is going up or down either before or after the doors open, usually in conjunction with the lanterns lighting up.
5 Universally, one chime is for up, two is for down, and none indicates an elevator that is 'free'.
