What is the difference between hydraulic and traction elevators? +
a) Hydraulic elevators use a piston and fluid to move the cabin (common in low-rise buildings). b) Traction elevators use ropes and counterweights, powered by electric Traction motors (used in high-rise buildings).
How often should an elevator be serviced? +
Regular maintenance should be done monthly, with thorough inspections every 6-12 months, depending on usage and local regulations. It depends on the elevator uses and location.
Why do elevators sometimes stop on random floors? +
This could be due to computer optimization (efficient routing), a passenger request, or a malfunction.
Why does the elevator door keep opening and closing? +
Possible causes: sensor blockage (by an object or person), misalignment, or a malfunctioning door mechanism.
How much weight can an elevator hold? +
Capacity varies, but standard elevators typically hold 2,000–5,000 lbs (900–2,300 kg). Check the posted limit inside the cab.
Do elevators have backup power? +
Many modern elevators have battery backups or generators to ensure they reach the nearest floor during a power outage.
