Conversely, people in the basement must wait three times longer for elevator service as upper-floor passengers. Ideally, all cars should serve the basement, but if not, a special shuttle elevator must be considered, to run only between the main floor and the basement. This latter scheme is favored if multiple basements exist and a large group of main passenger elevators is required. The difference in the cost of providing entrances on all the main elevators at the basement levels and the cost of the shuttle elevator or elevators may be negligible when general construction costs are considered in addition to elevator costs.
They are always operated from the landing, not from within the cab as in an elevator. Other forms of vertical materials-handling systems include tote box conveyors, automatic loading and unloading cart lift systems, and self-propelled vehicle systems either with a dedicated rail system or following a guide path on the floor. These are discussed in detail in a later chapter. 15. Glass balustrade escalator (Courtesy KONE). mobility. Elevators are the universal means, but retrofitting them to an existing building is either a disproportionate solution or impossible.
Horizontal power-operated sliding doors: (a) single-slide, (b) two-speed sideopening, (c) single-speed center-opening, (d ) two-speed center-opening, (e) vertical biparting. An elevator cannot leave a floor until the doors are closed and locked, and passengers do not transfer until the doors are essentially fully opened. Powered Door-Opening Time.
