Elevators and its Usages ! |
|
|
An elevator is a
platform, either open or enclosed, used for moving
people or freight vertically, from one floor to
another within a building. Elevators are a
standard part of any tall commercial or
residential building. These days elevators are
often a legal requirement in new buildings with
multiple floors. All elevators are required to
have communication connection to an outside 24
hour emergency service, automatic recall
capability in a fire emergency, and special access
for fire fighters use in a fire.
