1. How does the elevator work?

The elevator is a complex system designed to move people and goods vertically between different floors. It consists of a car, a counterweight, and a series of steel ropes that are connected to both the car and the counterweight. These ropes are wrapped around a pulley called a sheave, which is driven by an electric motor. As the motor turns the sheave, it creates friction with the rope, allowing the elevator car and counterweight to move up and down along vertical rails inside the shaft.

The counterweight helps reduce the energy required to lift the car, as it balances part of the load. The car itself is equipped with guide shoes that slide along fixed rails, ensuring smooth and stable movement. In case of a power failure, the elevator’s brake system automatically engages to stop the car safely at the nearest floor. This ensures that passengers can exit without danger.

2. Will the wire rope of the elevator break?

Elevator wire ropes are specially manufactured and tested to meet strict safety standards. They are designed with a high safety factor—typically above 12—to ensure they can withstand much more weight than the elevator's maximum capacity. Most elevators have multiple wire ropes (usually four or more), so even if one were to fail, the others would still hold the car in place. Additionally, regular maintenance and inspections help prevent any unexpected failures. If a rope does break, the elevator will be taken out of service immediately until it is repaired.

3. Is there a danger of sudden power failure during elevator operation?

If a power outage occurs, the elevator will stop immediately, but this is not dangerous. Modern elevators are equipped with automatic braking systems that engage when power is lost, preventing the car from falling. Some elevators also have emergency power supplies that can lower the car to the nearest floor and open the doors. In planned outages, the building management usually informs users in advance. Always remain calm and wait for assistance if you're trapped.

4. What should I do if the elevator runs suddenly?

Elevators are designed to operate within a specific speed range. If the elevator starts moving too fast, it triggers a safety mechanism called a speed limiter. When the speed exceeds 115% of the rated speed, the limiter activates, slowing down or stopping the elevator to prevent accidents. This system ensures that even in rare cases of malfunction, the elevator remains safe.

5. Can the elevator car overload be automatically controlled?

Each elevator has a maximum load limit, and the system is designed to prevent overloading. If the weight exceeds the allowed limit, the elevator will not start and will display an alarm. A weighing device on the top of the car monitors the load, and the system adjusts accordingly. Overloading can damage the elevator and pose a risk to passengers, so it's important to follow the weight restrictions.

6. Will the door be damaged when the elevator is closed?

The elevator doors are equipped with anti-clamping sensors. If someone or something gets caught between the doors, the sensor detects the obstruction and automatically reopens the doors to prevent injury. The closing force is carefully regulated to ensure it doesn’t cause harm. However, once the doors are fully closed, they cannot be opened from the outside. Always make sure the doors are fully open before entering or exiting.

7. Can the elevator door be opened?

Only authorized personnel with special tools can open the elevator doors from the outside. Passengers should never attempt to force the doors open, as this can lead to serious accidents, including falling into the elevator shaft. Always use the buttons inside the elevator to control the doors properly.

8. How to summon the elevator?

To call an elevator, look for the button panel on each floor. Press the “up” button if you want to go up, or the “down” button if you want to go down. The elevator will respond based on your request. Make sure to wait for the elevator to arrive before stepping in.

9. Are there any protective measures for the elevator bottom and the top?

The elevator car is equipped with a buffer system at the bottom of the shaft to absorb impact in case of an unexpected fall. These buffers come in two types: spring-based and hydraulic. At the top of the shaft, there is also a safety device to prevent the car from overshooting the highest floor. These systems protect passengers and minimize damage in the event of a malfunction.

10. When the elevator suddenly loses power or fails, what should you pay attention to when trapped in the car?

If you become trapped in the elevator, stay calm and avoid panicking. If there is an operator present, follow their instructions. If not, use the emergency communication device inside the elevator to contact building staff or emergency services. Never try to open the door or jump out, as this could result in serious injury. Help is always on the way.

11. What should I pay attention to when entering the car?

Before entering the elevator, check whether the car is properly aligned with the floor. Especially at night or in low-light conditions, make sure the elevator is at your current floor to avoid falling. Enter quickly and step aside to allow others to enter as well. Always keep your hands and feet away from the door area while the elevator is moving.
