Some people who are elderly or handicapped may have difficulty standing while an elevator is in motion. Elevator Handrails, which are installed at 32” above floor level per ANSI 17.1 code, help those who face this issue by allowing them to hold onto something in order to keep their balance.
Another common issue is damaged wall panels caused by traffic going in and out of elevator. This can include a tenant moving out of an apartment complex using the freight elevator or a delivery person accidentally bumping their dolly into the wall while making deliveries.
