Vertical Transportation

Commonly thought only to be applicable to elevators, vertical transportation encompasses much more. Escalators, moving walks, passenger elevators, freight elevators and service lifts are all examples of vertical transportation. Basically, if it travels vertically, it’s probably considered a form of vertical transportation.

While vertical transportation methods were first utilized to lift heavy materials, they are now a common and necessary form of transportation. This system of carrying passengers to their destination floors is directly correlated to the rise of skyscraper popularity in many cities. With no elevator or escalator, higher floors would not be as accessible as they are today.

In our day and age, we have these exciting variations in vertical transportation technology, each one complementing a different building type or use case:

Whether it’s a residential, commercial, healthcare or office building, any commercial building over two floors in height is required to have an elevator readily available. While vertical transportation methods were looked at as more of an amusement park ride when they first debuted, they have become a staple in all societies across the globe.
