That\u2019s because they are generally more popular due to their widespread use in transporting passengers in a variety of buildings. The design of a \u043f\u0430\u0441\u0441\u0430\u0436\u0438\u0440\u0441\u043a\u0438\u0439 \u043b\u0438\u0444\u0442<\/a> features a durable lift shaft that securely houses both the passenger car and the mechanical components required for its operation. To ensure smooth vertical movement, the lift must be built to precision to accommodate its operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The following are the key design components:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A platform lift also does the job of vertical transportation between different floors, but primarily designed for people with mobility issues. It can accommodate one person or one wheelchair user, with a maximum capacity of up to 5 people. It operates over short distances and it\u2019s not as fast as passenger lifts. Similarly to passenger lift building codes and regulations, platform lift regulations differ from country to country, but they generally address safety, accessibility, and installation standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Building Height and Travel Distance:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Capacity Requirements:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Space Availability:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Accessibility Needs:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u0421\u043a\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0441\u0442\u044c:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Installation and Cost:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Both Passenger lifts<\/a> and Platform lifts are designed for vertical transportation between different floors, but they have varying purposes which guide how to choose between the platform lift and passenger lift. Where speed, traffic flow and capacity are the primary considerations, passenger lift would be the ideal choice. However, where accessibility is the core issue especially for people with mobility challenges, the platform lift is a good choice especially for low-rise buildings. Platform lifts and Passenger lifts all do the job of transporting passengers within the floors, but they serve different needs and circumstances.
They are mostly enclosed and can accommodate multiple people. The load capacity of passenger elevators is 450-1600kg and the passenger capacity is 6-20 people, depending on various factors such as the design standard of the elevator, the size of the car, the motor power, the materials used, etc.
Passenger lifts<\/a> are typically faster with speed ranging from 1 to 2.5 m\/s depending on the building height, and lift type.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDesign and Features of a Passenger Lift<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What is a Platform Lift?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The common speed for platform lifts is 0.15 m\/s. At this speed, the lift can travel from one floor to the other in about 22 seconds on average. However, 0.15 m\/s is not a universal standard; the speed of platform lifts can range from 0.1-0.15m\/s, while inclined platform lifts may have a slightly different range due to the staircase design. Adjustments in the speed are mostly due to the installation needs of the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBuilding Codes and Regulations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
