• A vertical transport equipment that efficiently moves people between floors (levels,
deck) of a building, vessel or other structure.
• Generally powered by electric motor that drive by traction cable and
counterweight systems like a hoist or hydraulic pump.

HISTORY OF LIFTS
• Roman architect Vitruvius, reported that
Archimedes built his first elevator in 236 BC.
• Elevators were mentioned as cabs on a hemp
rope and powered by hand or by animals.
• In 1852, Elisha Otis introduced the safety
elevator, which prevented the fall of the cab
somewhat similar to one type still used today.

safety elevator is
• On March 23, 1857 the first Otis passenger elevator was installed at 488 Broadway in New York City.
• The Equitable Life Building completed in 1870 in New York City was the first office building to have passenger elevators.

IMPORTANCE OF LIFTS
• Rapid development : buildings design nowadays built vertically /higher
because of high land cost.
• Basic needs : to bring building user from one level to higher level in building
• Comfort needs : working efficiency for office building or large organization.
• UBBL( Unified Building Bye-Laws) : building with more than 6 storey must provide
lifts system.
• Fire requirements : provide fire lift to be used during fire.

CHARACTERISTIC OF LIFTS
• Lift needed for the building more than 6 storey.
• Installation must be in accordance with the regulation in UBBL.
• Suitable speed 100 – 150ft/min. Too fast will result in a nervous breakdown to the user. If too slow will cause lack of
function.
USER REQUIREMENTS
• Good System – quiet equipment, smooth journey, good condition and safe at every moment.
• Waiting time – minimum waiting time at any level.
• Aesthetics – Button panel clear and easily reached at appropriate level. Complete instruction. Decorative lighting and
comfortable.
• Movement of door – door movement is quiet and fast.

 VECHICAL LIFT

A vehicle lift is one of the most important items of display of most

service and repair bays. They are an integral part of vehicle
maintenance and repair tasks. vehicle elevator is an elevator
designed for the vertical transportation of vehicles.
Car elevators are used to vertically transport vehicles inside
buildings. The objective of these lifts is to increase the number of
vehicles that can be parked in parking lots and parking
garages.

PURPOSES :

providing a full access area

used as a parking lot with passengers or goods is for mechanical tuning of

IMPORTANCE :

• We can optimize garage space by using auto lifts.

• Space is a primary concern in parking yards, car storage areas, garages, and car repair shops.
• we can store vehicles and save floor space with auto lifts.
• Car lifts are used by automotive companies, parking lots & car service providers

CHARACTERISTICS :

• In addition to doors, the size of the elevator shaft is

also largely determined by dimensions of elevator
car.
• Passenger and freight elevator cars must be
ventilated.
• All elevator cars must be well lit, with grid
independent safety lights which are battery
operated
• Air intake and exhaust openings must be placed to
ensure sufficient diagonal and cross ventilation

DESTINATION DESPATCH CONTROL SYSTEM

• Destination despatch control system has the potential for more efficiently configured elevator banks , Which
results in smaller elevators, fewer elevators, and smaller and fewer elevator lobbies that translates into a smaller
building core and increased tenant capacity.
• Ability to customize the level of security through the use of different access control systems.
• Improved experience for passengers: Shorter wait time, shorter traveling time, reduced car crowding, and fewer
stops
• Advanced systems allow for increased communication for building/tenants/passengers with messages
concerning such things as safety, corporate information about meetings, and evening time exit destinations.

CASE STUDY 1
• PAM Building is a modern building with a limited space of parking area. It uses mechanical parking system so that it would fit
more cars into the parking spaces.
• Lift Box Type of double deck parking system provides two parking levels in the space of one.
• This double deck system is used by PAM building parking. The dependent stacker parker do not require a pit. However, the
lower vehicle needs to drive out of the parking bay before the upper deck can be lowered.
• Safety sensors ensure that cars are not accidentally lowered while a car is still on the ground level.
• The posts of the double deck stackers can be shared when they are installed side by side to save costs and precious land
space.

This Vertical Rotary Parking System can provide 8-car, 10-car and
12-car parking spaces through the vertical rotary movement. It is
usually closed-built by concrete or steel wall. This automated
parking system can be also separately-built or together within a
main building.

CONCLUSION

• Lift planning remains a tricky business wherein a lax approach results in costly errors.
• A lift for a commercial building and home come with separate requirements, limitations, and challenges.
Therefore, we need to understand the nuances of your space first .
• Working in close coordination with the clients, consultants, architects, and the manufacturing company offers
the best results.
• Although the basic properties remain quite similar across the industry, these serve a broad range of applications.
Services, hospital, and goods lifts are mainly delineated by their dimensions and capacity.
• Moreover, to ensure that there is no interference between passengers entering and exiting the car, it is
important to focus on the lift arrangement.
• It should be planned carefully to obtain maximum efficiency.
• Systems with a different number of lift cars have different dimensions as well. Hence, it is important to ensure
optimal usage and short waiting time.
