Other modes
An elevator (lift in British English) is a type of vertical transport equipment that
efficiently moves people or goods between floors (levels, decks) of a building, vessel, or other
structure. Elevators are generally powered by electric motors that either drive traction cables or
counterweight systems like a hoist, or pump hydraulic fluid to raise a cylindrical piston like
a jack.
In agriculture and manufacturing, an elevator is any type of conveyor device used to lift
materials in a continuous stream into bins or silos. Several types exist, such as the chain and
bucket bucket elevator, grain auger screw conveyor using the principle of Archimedes' screw, or
the chain and paddles or forks of hay elevators.
