There are a number of inventions that have had a massive impact on how many people live, and elevators are a great example. Elevators have revolutionized movement and transportation within structures for everyone, from those with movement concerns to average people who simply benefit from their convenience, and many people naturally wonder how these incredibly beneficial products actually work.

At A+ Elevators & Lifts, we’re proud to offer an unmatched selection of commercial and residential elevators, dumbwaiters and similar lift products for all your potential needs. We’re also happy to detail the working components of any of our products, whether you need this information for safety, building codes or even simple curiosity. Here’s a simple rundown of the anatomy of an elevator, including all the important components that make these products what they are.

Elevator Cab

The elevator component that’s most familiar to many people is the cab, where passengers board and disembark. The size of the cab is determined by its intended purpose – for instance, a residential elevator will be much smaller than one meant for commercial use – but all cabs feature similar basic components.

There’s a control panel inside the cab to operate the elevator, as well as an emergency stop button that can be used to bring the cab to a halt if necessary. The interior of the cab is also outfitted with flooring, walls and a ceiling, and cabs can be further customized with different materials, finishes and colors to better match the décor of their surroundings.

Many cabs will also contain basic accessories like handrails, mirrors, and phones or intercoms that can be used in the event of an emergency.

Doors or Gates

Most elevator feature at least two sets of doors – the car door, that travels up and down with the elevator cab, open to allow passengers to board.  And ad hoistway door (sometimes referred to as ‘landing’ or ‘hallway’ door).  The car door is typically automatic, although some models may feature manual doors as well.  The hoistway door remains locked when the elevator is not present, however can be unlocked and opened manually by maintenance and rescue personnel.

The car door is sometimes referred to as a ‘gate.”  This keeps the passengers safely inside the cab as it ascends and descends in the hoistway.

Both doors and gates for elevators are found in a wide variety of styles, materials, and colors to better match their surroundings, and they can be customized to fit the specific needs of any application. A common gate style for many residential elevators, for instance, is the tambour or accordion gate, which can be opened out of the way when not in use.

Among many important concepts within the door and gate setup, the space allowed between the door and the gate while the elevator is operating is very important. There should generally be no more than four inches of space between the two, as this is considered the industry standard for safety.

Drive Systems

Naturally, the cab we already went over needs to be able to move up and down the elevator shaft (more on this below) to get people to their desired location. This is done using a drive system, which refers to a set of machinery that will move the cab up and down based on its commands. Generally speaking, there are a few options out there for drive systems today:

• Traction: Often used for smaller residential elevators, this system uses a steel cable or chain that’s wrapped around sheave or sprocket to move the cab. The sheave or sprocket is connected to an electric motor, which is used to rotate it and in turn move the cab up or down. The actual motor is usually in the top of the elevator shaft or in a separate adjacent machine room.  Residential elevators can usually travel up to 50 feet of vertical rise, and commercial elevators can go much further.
• Hydraulic: Another common drive system, this one uses a piston to move the cab. The piston is located in a cylinder, which is filled with hydraulic fluid. The fluid is pressurized by an electric pump, which in turn drives the piston and moves the cab.  Hydraulic models usually have their pumps located in a machine room.
• Machine Room-less (MRL): As you may have guessed, this indicates that this system doesn’t require a dedicated machine room. MRL elevators are becoming increasingly popular in both residential and commercial applications, as they offer many of the same benefits as traditional traction models but without the need for an extra room.

Elevator Shaft

Finally, the elevator shaft is the area that holds both the cab and cable system during operations. There are a few important components in most or all elevator shafts:

• Pit: The pit is the area just under the lowest level of the structure, offering a space where the cab can rest when it’s at the lowest level of the building. The pit must be deep enough to accommodate the cab when it’s fully extended, and it also needs to have a water-tight seal to prevent flooding.
• Overhead: On the flip side of this, the overhead is the area just above the highest level of the structure. Again, it provides a space for the cab to rest when it’s on the top floor, and it needs to be tall enough to accommodate the cab when it’s fully extended.
• Rail wall: This is a vital area that holds the guide rails (the track structure in which the elevator cab moves vertically on), ensuring the cab stays stable and secure at all times.

There are a few important themes to keep in mind for any elevator or related product being installed in your home or that of a loved one, and safety is at the top of every such list. Whether you’re taking part in the installation or simply just around the space as it’s happening, ensuring full safety for everyone involved is extremely important.

At A+ Elevators & Lifts, we go to great lengths to ensure safety for everyone present during any of our Boise, ID home elevator or lift installations — both clients and our team members. What are some of the most important safety areas we cover, and what should you know about them as well, even if you’re just an observer during an installation? Here are some basics.

Common Hazards to Be Aware Of

First and foremost, here are some of the potential hazards of an elevator or lift installation that must be understood and planned for in advance:

• Falls: Anytime you’re working at a height, or even on the ground in an area close to one, there is always a risk of falling. This can be as simple as tripping and stumbling over your own feet, or as complex as being knocked off balance by a piece of equipment bumping into you.
• Improper use of PPE: Personal Protective Equipment is always a necessity when working with and around hazards, but if it’s not used properly, it can actually become a hazard itself. For instance, if you’re wearing a hard hat but not securing it properly, it could come flying off your head during a fall or other impact and cause serious injury.
• Scaffolding or other structure collapse: Any time you’re working with or around a scaffolding, it’s important to be aware of the potential for collapse. This is especially true if the structure is not properly secured or if it has sustained any damage during the installation process.
• Electrical hazards: Electricity is always a potential hazard, whether you’re working with live wires or simply around electrical equipment. If you are not properly trained and experienced with working with or around electricity, it’s best to stay as far away from this area of the installation process as possible.
• Confined space: Any time you’re working in a confined space, there is an increased risk of injury or even death. This is due to the fact that there is less room to move around, and less ventilation, which can lead to exposure to fumes or other dangerous gases.

What are some of the ways we combat these risks while on any elevator installation job? Our next several sections will dig into these.

Strong, Regularly-Reviewed Safety Protocols

For starters, we have strong, regularly-reviewed safety protocols to help prevent common injuries and other threats. These include the following:

• Comprehensive personal protective equipment (PPE): We only work with and wear PPE that is suited for the specific job at hand. We also make sure to wear the right PPE for the right job and situation, using hard hats if there is a danger of falling objects or safety glasses at all times on jobs where there is any potential risk of dirt or other debris getting in our eyes.
• Confined space prevention: At A+ Elevators & Lifts, we avoid working in confined spaces whenever possible. If it’s absolutely necessary to enter a confined space, we take extra precautions to ensure the safety of everyone involved including using proper ventilation and PPE.
• Fall prevention: We take several measures to prevent falls, both for our team members and clients. These include using ladders, scaffolding and harnesses if needed to ensure stability at great heights; using guardrails, toe-board barriers or other safety measures as necessary on any job that involves working at a height; and regularly checking elevators, lifts and other equipment to make sure they are working properly.
• Emergency preparedness: We always have a plan in place for what to do in case of an emergency. This includes having a first-aid kit on hand, as well as knowing the nearest hospital or medical facility. We also make sure to have the contact information for the local fire department and police department readily available.

Securing Ladders, Scaffolding, Etc.

For any job that involves working at a height, it’s important to take the necessary precautions to prevent falls. This includes using ladders, scaffolding and harnesses if needed to ensure stability at great heights; using guardrails, toe-board barriers or other safety measures as necessary on any job that involves working at a height; and regularly checking elevators, lifts and other equipment to make sure they are working properly.

One of the most common causes of falls is from ladders or scaffolding, which is why we take extra care to secure these structures at all times when using them. We do this by making sure that our ladders are sturdy enough for a person’s weight, regularly checking the integrity of all ladders to minimize the risk of wobbling or other weaknesses, and ensuring that our scaffolding is always securely fastened to the floor or wall to prevent it from moving.

Electrical Safety

We also take electrical safety very seriously on all of our jobs. This includes making sure that all electrical equipment is properly grounded and using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when working with or around live wires. We also make sure to have the contact information for the local electric utility company readily available in case of an emergency. We ground all our power tools while making sure they are in good repair and won’t cause shocks.

Hydraulic Safety

Finally, we also pay close attention to the health and safety of our hydraulic units. This includes making sure that all hydraulic fluid is free from leaks or other damage, inspecting hoses for wear, checking pressure gauges before use, and ensuring clean, uncontaminated fluid for all operations.

At A+ Elevators & Lifts, we take every precaution to make sure that our home elevator installation process is as safe as possible for all parties involved. If you’re interested in installing an elevator or lift in your Boise, ID home, don’t hesitate to contact us today! We’ll be happy to answer any questions you have, not only about safety but also about all the fantastic qualities of our products.

There are a few products that may play a central role in making a home more accessible for various needs, and two that are comparable in certain ways — but different in other important ones — are elevators and dumbwaiters. Both these systems carry out similar operations, but in some very different ways that make them more or less practical depending on the needs of the home and its occupants.

At A+ Elevators & Lifts, we’re proud to offer a wide range of both elevators and dumbwaiters for both residential and commercial settings. What are the basic differences between the two, and how do they compare in certain key areas? Here’s a primer on these two components.

Elevators Vs. Dumbwaiters

The key element that differentiates elevators from dumbwaiters is what they’re meant to carry. Elevators are generally meant to transport people, while dumbwaiters are meant to transport items. This is reflected in the design of the two systems, as elevators typically have a large cabin that can accommodate several people, while dumbwaiters are typically much smaller and only meant to carry a few items at a time.

Let’s go over some other basic elements that should be considered.

Specific Purposes

Digging in a bit further on the above, some common purposes and uses of an elevator include:

• Safely transporting people between floors in a home
• Allowing people with disabilities or other accessibility needs to have easier access to all parts of a home
• Creating an alternative to stairs in multi-story homes

In contrast, common purposes and uses of a dumbwaiter include:

• Lowering food or other items from a kitchen to a basement or ground level
• Receiving food or items from different levels in a home for storage or preparation
• Moving large amounts of laundry between floors in a multi-story home
• Hauling other heavy objects between floors

The precise ways in which both these items are used will depend on the needs of the home and its occupants.

Size and Dimensions

Both these systems are available in a variety of custom sizes, so there’s no singular example to go from here. Generally speaking, however, elevators are significantly larger than dumbwaiters, and as such can take up more space in a home. This may be a consideration for those who are tight on space, as elevators require a certain amount of clearance around all sides in order to operate safely.

Elevator cabs can typically range up to 18 square feet or even larger in some cases, while a dumbwaiter’s cab will typically be around 4 – 6 square feet. These dimensions may also be impacted by clearance space that’s required, plus the height of the building in which the system is being installed.

Weight Capacity

Down similar lines, elevators typically need to come with a much higher weight capacity than dumbwaiters. Elevators are built to handle the weight of multiple people, as well as any items they might be carrying, while dumbwaiters are not typically meant to carry more than a few hundred pounds at a time. This is something to consider if there are plans to use the dumbwaiter for transporting especially large or heavy items — you’ll want to be sure to choose a dumbwaiter that’s rated for high weight numbers.

For elevators, the weight limit will be based on the drive system that’s used. There are a few common setups here:

• Hydraulic system: Hydraulic elevator drives are some of the strongest available, rated for a standard maximum capacity of 950 pounds, up to 18 square feet. In some cases, capacities up to 4,000 pounds can be achieved
• Gear driven: These systems also have a 950-pound capacity for 18-foot cabs, and up to 1400 pounds capacity for larger cabs.

Cost Factors

Naturally, anyone considering installing an elevator or dumbwaiter in their home will want to weigh the cost factors involved. Elevators can be significantly more expensive to install than dumbwaiters, and this is largely due to their size and weight capacity. Additional costs may also be incurred if the home needs to be retrofitted in order to accommodate an elevator, which is not always necessary with a dumbwaiter.

That said, elevators do offer a number of benefits that may be worth the extra investment, such as the ability to transport multiple people at once and the addition of wheelchair accessibility. It’s important to weigh all the factors involved in order to make the best decision for your unique needs.

Making Your Choice

As we noted above, much of the decision in terms of whether to install an elevator or a dumbwaiter will come down to what (or who) is being transported. If there are many people in the home who will need easy access to all floors, an elevator is likely the best option. For those who only need to move light objects or food between floors, a dumbwaiter may be more practical and affordable.

Installation professionals can help assess your needs and provide guidance on the best system for your specific situation. They will also help you ensure you have the right components for any selection you make — for instance, that your dumbwaiter, if you choose one, is of appropriate size and rating for the weight of the items you’ll be carrying.

When it comes to accessibility, elevators and dumbwaiters are both valuable tools. Though they serve similar purposes, there are some important differences between the two that should be considered before making a purchase.

Like any other accessory or item you might be considering for your home, expected lifespan will be an important concept for any residential elevator. Those purchasing such items naturally want them to last for decades without issue, and today’s modern home elevators and lifts will absolutely do so — as long as they’re cared for and used in the proper ways, that is.

At A+ Elevators & Lifts, we’re proud to offer a wide range of home elevator products, from our electro-hydraulic system, direct gear, and many other options. We’re also happy to discuss themes like durability and long-term lifespan with clients, including the factors that play a role in determining this lifespan. Here are some of these factors, plus the areas where you can play a role in maximizing your home elevator’s useful lifespan.

Using Quality Brands and Manufacturers

First and foremost, it’s vital to ensure that you’re using a quality brand and manufacturer when it comes to your home elevator. Choosing a well-respected, reliable company is key to ensuring that your elevator will last for the long haul. When you work with A+ Elevators & Lifts, for example, you can be sure that you’re getting an industry-leading product from a team that’s passionate about customer satisfaction.

Proper Installation

A major factor that will influence your home elevator’s lifespan is how it’s installed. A professional installation is critical, as it will ensure that your elevator is aligned and stable, minimizing wear and tear on key components. Poor installation can lead to premature failure of crucial parts and systems, costing you time and money in the long run.

This area drives home the importance of working with qualified professionals when purchasing and installing a home elevator. Never attempt a DIY installation — not only will you likely end up doing more harm than good, but you may also void your warranty in the process, and you also risk your own safety in several ways.

Standard Maintenance

Another of the most important factors that will determine how long your home elevator will last is standard maintenance. Like all machines, home elevators require periodic care and tune-ups to function at their best and longest.

Generally speaking, this maintenance should be carried out by quality professionals with expertise in the elevator realm. Here are some of the areas they will cover on your behalf:

• Inspecting for any worn-down or damaged parts, and replacing as needed
• Checking the alignment of all moving parts
• Cleaning and lubricating all moving parts
• Testing the entire system to make sure it’s functioning properly

These are just a few of the many standard maintenance procedures that should be carried out in order to ensure your home elevator lasts as long as possible. Failing to carry out this maintenance can severely shorten your elevator’s lifespan, requiring costly and time-consuming repairs or replacements down the line.

At A+ Elevators & Lifts, we’re happy to offer quality service and repairs for all makes and models of home elevators. If you’re experiencing problems with your current system, or if you just want to schedule some routine maintenance, please don’t hesitate to contact us for assistance.

Your Role in Maintenance

While it’s important to have a professional carry out standard maintenance on your home elevator, there are also several things you can do as the owner to help prolong its lifespan. Here are a few key suggestions:

• Regularly check the elevator for any visible damage or wear and tear
• Keep it clean, both inside and out
• Avoid letting objects or people obstruct the path of the elevator
• Never try to repair or modify the elevator on your own

By following these simple guidelines, you can help ensure your home elevator lasts for many years to come.

Frequency of Use

Naturally, like any other product where wear-and-tear is a normal part of the equation, the more often your home elevator is used, the shorter its lifespan will be. This isn’t to say you should avoid using your elevator altogether; rather, it’s important to be aware that regular use will cause some degree of wear and tear that needs to be factored into your overall maintenance plan.

If your home elevator is used only occasionally, it may last for many years without any major issues. However, if it’s used on a daily basis, you can expect it to need more frequent maintenance and have a shorter lifespan overall.

And of course, operating the lift properly with each use is key to preserving its condition. Be sure not to overload it, and always use the safety features in place.

Upgraded Features

Another major factor in the eventual lifespan of your home elevator: Whether you upgrade its features over time.

Adding new features and gadgets to your elevator will put more strain on its components, and can lead to an overall shorter lifespan. So if you’re considering a major upgrade, be sure to factor in how this will affect the overall life of your elevator.

Upgrades can range significantly in price and complexity, so it’s important to weigh all the pros and cons before making a decision. In some cases, upgrades might actually be required by law to keep your elevator up to code.

At A+ Elevators & Lifts, we’re always happy to help our clients make the best choices for their home elevators. We can provide advice on everything from features and upgrades, to routine maintenance and repairs.

As most who have ridden some kind of elevator in their lives will be well aware, standard elevators come with a variety of controls, indicators and buttons that define their operations. For anyone who has an elevator in their residence or a commercial building where they spend lots of time, knowing the basics on these controls and how they work is important.

At A+ Elevators & Lifts, we’re proud to offer a huge range of elevators and related lift products to clients throughout Salt Lake City and other areas, from residential lifts to commercial LULA elevators and many other options in between. What are some of the most common elevator control, button and indicator components found on various elevator systems today, and which should you be aware of for safety purposes? Here’s a primer.

Hall Indicators

Also referred to as position indicators or hall lanterns, these indicators are placed in hallways outside of an elevator and show the current position (and direction) in which the car is moving. They’re often used alongside automatic doors, and establish much safer access for people with mobility issues.

For nearly all modern elevators, hall indicators will be accompanied by vocal signals that can be heard within the elevator car itself. These audible indicators are meant to be used as a safety measure, alerting passengers of the direction in which the car is moving and whether or not it will soon stop at another floor. They’re also helpful to the deaf or anyone hard of hearing, or for anyone who might be inebriated or otherwise impaired.

Hall indicators in public areas have a few basic rules and requirements for their placement:

• Indicators must be mounted at least 72 inches off the floor
• Arrows for hall indicators must be at least 2.5 inches tall
• Arrows for hall indicators must be visible from the area where call buttons are located

Hall Call Buttons

In addition, hallways featuring elevators also contain one or more call buttons. These buttons are placed in hallways where the elevator is located, and are used to alert people inside the car of a potential need to stop. For anyone who’s ever visited an older building with elevators that don’t have automatic stops, you’ll already be familiar with these components.

Car Controls

Once you step inside an elevator from any hallway, there will be several different potential controls or buttons. These may vary significantly depending on the elevator being used and its specifications, but a few standard elements are generally present:

• Floor selection buttons: While some elevators have automatic stops, it’s still necessary to indicate the desired floor before arriving at that level. Most systems today feature control buttons for this purpose. These buttons will be labeled with the desired floor, with lobbies typically labeled “L” and basements typically labeled “B.”
• Door open button: If you encounter one of these components, it’s meant to be pressed when the elevator is about to close its doors on you. This can prevent potentially painful injuries to your fingers, toes or other extremities. This button is not meant to be pressed while the elevator travels between floors.
• Door close button: For elevators that stop on multiple floors, the door close button allows you to close the door manually if it’s sitting open for longer than a few seconds.
• Door hold button: Also called a door delay button, this is a button sometimes found in hotels or other commercial buildings that allow people to load baggage or other items into the elevator before closing the door.

Some elevators may contain several additional buttons or controls. This will depend on the specifics of the system.

Emergency or Safety Controls or Indicators

In addition, elevators contain a few vital emergency or safety features that all occupants should be aware of if they’re using them. These will sometimes be locked in a secure panel, depending on the setting, but may also sit out for anyone to press. They’ll typically be found above or below floor selection buttons.

Some examples of emergency buttons include:

• Emergency telephone: An internal phone system used for contacting anyone on the car’s staff or in an outside dispatch center. There may be more than one of these on larger elevators, but they will always be labeled with the word “emergency” somewhere near them.
• Emergency alarm: A loud siren-like device that can be used to alert others in the area of danger or to signal staff at the other end of the line that there’s an emergency situation.
• Emergency lighting: May be found near or on an emergency telephone system, these are typically red lights meant to activate when power is lost by initiating a backup electrical generator within the car.

If you happen to be in an elevator during any kind of safety risk or emergency, remember to stay calm and assess your resources. Find a light source first, then utilize the telephone to call for help.

If you are not able to use the telephone, try shouting for help to signal someone near you, but keep an eye on your surroundings in case of any threat. It’s also important to note that if there is a fire or other significant risk, it may be necessary to evacuate the car immediately. When this happens, leave in an orderly fashion, and provide assistance to any older or younger people who may require it.

For a number of people, including both seniors and many others who may deal with movement issues of any kind, a home elevator or lift system can be enormously valuable. However, certain harmful myths about these products have become more common over the years, and these may stop people who could benefit in major ways from taking advantage of them.

At A+ Elevators & Lifts, we’re proud to offer a wide range of home elevator systems, from our direct gear systems to electro-hydraulic systems and more. In addition, we regularly offer clients and prospective clients important information to ensure they’re properly informed on these products — including debunking some of the most pervasive myths out there about residential elevators. Here are some of these common myths, plus the proper information on each of them.

Myth #1: Only Rich People Can Afford Home Elevators

While it may have been true several decades ago that the only people who could afford home elevators were the extremely wealthy, this no longer has to be the case. Today’s range of home elevator products if far more affordable and attainable, making these systems accessible to people of more modest means.

In many cases, especially if the elevator is being installed for medical purposes, programs like Medicare or Medicaid may cover some or all of the costs involved in putting in a home elevator. If you’re on disability for any reason, your individual benefits may be able to cover these expenses, too.

Myth #2: Home Elevators Only Work For One Person

Many people assume that elevators are designed only for one person’s use at a time. However, this is not true of home elevators. The majority of residential elevator models are built to accommodate two or more people at once, which makes them ideal for many different family members’ needs.

Even if you plan on using your elevator by yourself most of the time, it’s nice to know that other people who visit your home can use it too without issue or inconvenience. The design of these elevators is such that they can easily support multiple users at once, making them great for any number of purposes.

Myth #3: Home Elevators Are Not Safe

Simply put, this statement couldn’t be further from the truth. The home elevator systems that are on the market today are built with safety in mind every step of the way, from their easy-to-use controls to their durable designs.

For some reason, there’s an assumption among some stating this myth that residential elevators use just one or two low-quality ropes to lift the cab, which could easily snap and make the entire system dangerous. While this used to be true of some older elevator models, today’s systems are incredibly advanced and engineered to superior standards.

Today, home elevators are powered by steel cables and are capable of supporting hundreds of pounds. Most are made with materials that will not break or weaken over time, making them incredibly durable and reliable for use by everyone in your household.

Myth #4: Home Elevators Require Too Many Repairs

As long as you’re purchasing from a reputable installer like ours, you’ll find that your home’s residential elevator is a durable and long-lasting product. In addition, with the proper preventative maintenance from a professional service provider, you can reduce the risk of potential issues.

In general, lifts that are properly maintained will not only operate properly for years to come but also be safer to use as well. In many cases, building a relationship with a local service provider can be the best way to ensure that your home elevator is well-maintained throughout its life.

In addition, most major repairs will be just a phone call away, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing that help is nearby if an issue does occur. By trusting A+ Home Elevators for all your home elevator needs, you can have a safe and reliable system put in place that everyone will enjoy.

Myth #5: If Something Goes Wrong, I’ll Be in Free-Fall

We’re not sure why, but some years ago, a myth developed that if anything goes wrong during the use of a home elevator, the entire cabin would plummet to the ground. This is simply untrue, and there’s no reason for anyone to worry about this happening.

Home elevators are designed to automatically stop if they’re not properly grounded or attached to their guide rails, making them safe for anyone who uses them on a daily basis. In addition, many modern lifts also include a backup battery that will automatically engage and stop the cab if power is lost.

It’s easy to understand why this myth was started, but it has absolutely no basis in reality. With one of the safest and most reliable home elevator systems available today, you’ll never have to worry about any danger when trying to access your elevator.

Myth #6: Power Failure Leads to Major Hazards

Some assume that if the power goes out while someone is in a home elevator, he or she could be trapped and injured. While this may sound like a reasonable assumption, it’s far from the truth. In fact, most modern elevators come equipped with a backup power system that automatically powers the elevator in a power failure situation, continuing the elevator operation to a designated floor, allowing passengers to safely exit and ensure everyone’s safety.

If you’re concerned about what would happen during a power outage, you can rest easy knowing that your home’s lift is engineered to keep everyone safe even in the most severe weather conditions. If anything goes wrong, you’ll be protected during its operation and while it’s stationary.
