Human Elevators

Passenger elevators; These are elevators used to transport people between floors where people are crowded, such as business centers, shopping malls and hospitals. Since the buildings where passenger elevators are located are generally fast-paced and mobile structures, these elevators used to transport people are also required to be fast. Elevators used to transport people are designed according to their intended use during the production phase, and basic features such as capacity and speed in the elevator should also be determined in accordance with the intended use.

We have stated that speed is one of the most important features of people transport elevators. So, if you wish, let's talk a little about this issue, how and based on what the speed is determined in people transport elevators. We can say that the speeds of elevators are directly proportional to the floors they ascend. In other words, as the number of floors the elevator reaches increases, the passenger elevators are required to be faster. While the standard speed is 2.5m/sec in buildings such as shopping malls, hospitals, and business centers, speeds up to 8m/sec can be applied in multi-storey buildings. When determining the ideal speed for passenger elevators used in buildings where people live densely, the number of floors of the building is also taken into consideration. The passenger elevators used for buildings up to 23 meters, that is, buildings with 5 to 6 floors, are considered standard speed, but as the number of floors increases, the buildings are classified as multi-storey buildings and here the standard speed of the elevator is insufficient. Buildings from 23 meters to 150 meters are accepted as multi-storey buildings, and the ideal speed for human elevators used in these buildings is accepted as 6m/sec. Buildings over 150 meters are classified as skyscrapers, and the speed of human elevators used in these buildings is considered to be 10 m/sec and above.

Passenger elevators can be produced with or without a machine room. Elevators with machine rooms are old type systems. In addition to the elevator shaft, a motor location is also needed to place the elevator motor system. This system takes up a lot of space in the building and is less efficient in terms of performance than the elevator system without a machine room. Systems that do not require a machine room are new generation elevator systems. They work fast, they are quiet and will be the ideal elevator solution if you have limited space for elevators in your building. The price of passenger elevator systems is determined depending on the factors such as travel distance, capacity, speed, workmanship in the elevator application area and materials used in the elevator, as in other elevator systems.
