So many of the conveniences that we use today we sometimes take for granted. From commercial elevators to residential lifts, the convenient ways that we are able to get from one floor to the next is a luxury that we sometimes forget about unless we have to go without for a few days. After a single day of taking the stairs to and from our office or back and forth between the second floor bedrooms and our kitchens, the real value of a commercial elevator or residential elevator services are important.
Although it might be funny to watch the cast of the Big Bang Theory hoof their way up to their third floor apartments, few of us would ever but up with paying rent in an apartment where the elevator was not functioning. Both residential and commercial elevator installation are important, but it is also important to make sure that you schedule the needed elevator repair and maintenance if you want to make sure you are riding up, instead of walking around this modern convenience.
Consider some of these facts and figures about the products that an elevator company offers and the growing use of these structures in both residential and commercial settings:
- 10,000 residential elevators are installed every year.
- Passenger, freight, LULA, home, and personnel are the five primary types of elevators that are available in a variety of sizes and capacities.
- Although there are 20 times more elevators than escalators, there are only one third more accidents, indicating that elevators are twenty times safer than escalators.
- U.S. elevators collectively make 18 billion passenger trips a year.
- Elevators carry the equivalent of the world’s population every nine days, according to United Technologies.
- With an average rise of 40 feet, or four to five floors, the vast majority of elevators are located within commercial, retail, or residential properties.
The conveniences that we use everyday can sometimes be ignored, but if you want to make sure that the conveniences you most use will always work, it is important to make sure that you follow through on manufacturer recommended services. As the nation’s population continues to age, it should come as no surprise that more and more home owners are considering residential lifts and elevators.
