double deck Elevators


A fantastic method for maximizing floor space while increasing the the number of passengers riding your elevators is the use of the double deck elevator. This unique elevator system utilizes two elevators that are safely tied together in the same hoist way. Since the two elevators are being used simultaneously, this provides a more efficient way to serve the tenants in the building. This two-elevator system can arrive at two different floors at the same time, carrying double the number of passengers compared to just a single elevator.

This results in the reduction of wait time for an elevator and helps the flow traffic in any building. The use of one hoist way also saves floor space in the building by eliminating the need for a second elevator hoist way while still being careful with your tenants' time. The extra floor space in the building can then be used to expand businesses, living quarters or even make extra room for recreational spaces.
