Differences between car elevators and ordinary elevators
Car elevators are significantly different from ordinary elevators in design and use. Car elevators are designed specifically for carrying cars, and all performance standards are designed according to the single use condition of carrying cars, including load capacity, size, floor strength, operation method and safety facilities. In contrast, ordinary elevators are mainly used for personnel transportation, while car elevators are mainly used for car transportation and are strictly prohibited from carrying people.
