Write a short note on passenger lift and freight lift.
Passenger lift
A passenger lift carries people. The car size and capacity depend on the use (6, 8, 13 or 20 persons; for example, an 8-person car is about 1.1 m x 1.4 m). It has a speed of 1-2.5 m/s, smooth acceleration, a finished cabin, ventilation, an alarm, emergency light and automatic doors. It is located near the main entrance with lobby space in front, and the number of lifts is planned for the floor area and occupancy as per the building code.
Freight (goods) lift
A freight lift carries goods and loads of 500-5000 kg or more. It has a larger, stronger car with a strong floor, is usually slow (0.25-0.5 m/s), has a simple finish and wide doors (vertical sliding or double leaf), and is operated by trained staff. It is used in warehouses, factories and hotels.
