Platform

Indoor

Incline

By rotating the sheave, the car moves up or down and requires very little energy to do it. Only possible for small cars due to limited distance. Mid, low-speed lifts.

Cables

Guide rails

Counterweights

Ropes

Used where space conditions dictate or where a wide opening is required.

Center opening

2 speed door

Single to the right

Single to the left

Often recognized as passenger elevators called ski lifts. Can also be used to transport passengers or goods.
