Abstract :
Elevators (also called "lifts" in some locales) are installed in buildings to meet the vertical transportation needs of the building occupants. The total vertical transport capacity of a building is a crucial factor in its success as a working, living, or service facility. Elevators must be easily accessible, readily available, provide quality service, and be reliable.
