At present, there are 7 main types of elevators used in buildings according to their purposes:
Passenger elevator:
Elevators designed to transport passengers are the most commonly used and are suitable for various buildings.
Stretcher elevator:
The size of the car is 1100 mm × 2100 mm, mainly for transporting passengers, and it must be able to meet the use requirements of stretchers. Mainly used in residential buildings, stretchers can be used to transport patients in the event of sudden injuries, similar to ward elevators.
Freight elevator:
Usually accompanied by someone, mainly used to transport goods.
Passenger and freight elevator:
It is mainly used to transport passengers, but it can also transport goods.
Bed elevator:
Elevators for transporting hospital beds (including patients) and medical equipment.
Debris elevator:
Fixed lift equipment serving a specified floor, with a car, in terms of its size and structure, the car does not allow people to enter, and the car runs between two vertical or vertical rigid guide rails with an inclination angle of less than 15°. between. This type of elevator is used to transport some light items, such as books, documents, food, etc., but does not allow people to enter the car, and the lift of the elevator is controlled by buttons outside the door.
Car elevator:
Elevators used to transport vehicles are rarely used in hospitals, and are mainly used in buildings with underground or above-ground garages. Compared with ramp-type car entrances, they take up less space, but the transportation efficiency is relatively low.
