A drawing the intended locations of plant items and service routes in such detail as to indicate the design intent. The main features of detailed design drawings should be as follows: Plan layouts to a scale of at least 1:100. Plant areas to a scale of at least 1:50 and accompanied by cross-sections.

Hoist atop an elevator. A hoist is a device used for lifting or lowering a load by means of a drum or lift-wheel around which rope or chain wraps. It may be manually operated, electrically or pneumatically driven and may use chain, fiber or wire rope as its lifting medium.
Stiltz elevators run on freestanding, self-supporting rails, so they don’t need supporting walls or elevator shafts. However, the compact design means the Duo Classic model can’t accommodate ...
Montgomery Elevator: Acquired by Kone, Canadian division in 1985 and U.S. division in 1994. Marshall Elevator: Sold to Otis; Schweizerische Aufzügefabrik AG; Thyssen AG: Merged with Krupp and became ThyssenKrupp in 1999, with subsidiary ThyssenKrupp Elevator AG; ThyssenKrupp Elevator AG announced in 2021 a name change and rebranding to TK ...
Elevator In traction (non-hydraulic) elevators, a heavy counterweight counterbalances the load of the elevator carriage, so the motor lifts much less of the carriage's weight (specifically, the counterweight is the weight of the carriage plus 40-50% of its rated capacity). The counterweight also increases the ascending acceleration force and ...
The safety and speed of electric elevators were significantly enhanced by Frank Sprague, who added floor control, automatic operation, acceleration control, and further safety devices. His elevator ran faster and with larger loads than hydraulic or steam elevators. 584 of Sprague's elevators were installed before he sold his company to the Otis ...
Inclined elevator design is based on the same basic technology as conventional, vertical elevator. [6] In general standard elevator equipment can be adapted for systems with an inclines up 10 ° from vertical, while an incline with more than 20° from vertical will require some additional adaptation.
