Passenger Lifts

A passenger lift is a type of lift that is designed to take passengers up and down a vertical lift shaft. Cabin and shaft sizes can vary in a passenger lift, but they are usually completely enclosed. Possible lifting mechanisms for a passenger lift include pneumatic, traction and hydraulic lifting methods.Passenger elevators are, for the most part, slightly wider than they are deep. Service elevators, however, are much deeper than they are wide. Passenger elevators are designed to carry pedestrians while the service elevators are designed to carry hospital beds and stretchers.Aerial lifts fall into three main categories – scissor lifts, boom lifts and telehandlers. Although they may seem very similar, each one serves a unique purpose and is best suited for different jobs and environments. Read this guide to learn everything you need to know about aerial lifts.
