Different Types of Elevators
If you are a manufacturer or supplier of elevators in the Gulf region, it will sound like manna from heaven to know that the construction market in Qatar is forecast to be extremely robust in 2016. With the FIFA World Cup coming up in 2022, there is a lot of construction activity, and therefore demand for elevators and elevator parts in Qatar.
There is more good news in the form of a recent report entitled ‘World Elevators Market’ which forecasts that the demand for equipment related to elevators would reach $121 billion globally, come 2019.
We don’t think twice when we step into an elevator in our apartments, malls, restaurants or movie halls – elevators are useful and ubiquitous, and we can’t do without them in our modern lives. There are many types of elevators that different customers/businesses may need, and as a supplier of elevator parts in Qatar, you should explain them to your customer. Here are some of them.
Elevators can be classified on many parameters. They include.
Traction: A traction elevator is lifted by way of ropes that are made to pass over a wheel. In turn, this to travel 2,000 ft.
Hydraulic: A hydraulic elevator works on the principles of hydraulics, as the name suggests. There is a piston wheel is connected to a motor (electric). There are gear less and geared traction elevators. A geared traction elevator can travel 250 feet, while a gear less one has the capacity that drives the elevator further up. The piston is fed by a fluid or oil.
Pneumatic: An elevator that depends on change in the pressure of air is called a pneumatic elevator.
Climbing: An elevator that has a combustion or electric engine, a climbing elevator is a self-ascending one, and is used in towers typically.
A building could be a low-rise, middle-level or high-rise one with storeys ranging from one to over 12. Typically, low-rise ones use hydraulic elevators. High-rises use traction ones that don’t have gears, while a mid-range building with about 4-10 floors could use a traction elevator with gears.
Different kinds of elevators are used for different kinds of buildings. Elevators used in hospitals draw minimal power and are very smooth. There are entries both on the front and rear.
Domestic/residential elevators could be pneumatic, hydraulic, cable or electric and are designed to carry about four to six people.
Agricultural equipment or applications need elevators that can move huge loads effortlessly, and are called bucket lifts.
Elevators used for industrial purposes are also designed to lift heavy weights. Such elevators are widely used in shipyards or warehouses. Elevators that move heavy goods, in the range of 2 to 4 kg, are called freight elevators.
Some of the components of an elevator include the car, hoist way, doors, machine, control and safety systems. Most manufacturers and suppliers of spare parts in Qatar and the rest of the Gulf region not only supply spare parts, but also take up maintenance and installation.
