Over the years many types of elevators were made, with only small
percentage intended for traditional passenger use. Elevators can be separated in
two groups – by their use and by their hoist mechanisms.
Types of
elevators:

– Designed to carry people between building floors. Their capacity is determined
by the need of the specific building and it can vary between 5 and 25
people.
Express elevators – They do not service all floors, but instead
only selected parts of the building. Most notably they move passengers from the
building lobby to the top floor/sky lobby.
Urban transport elevators -
They move passengers between several altitude potions, not inside a building but
rather in open urban space. For example from bottom to the top of the
hill.
Freight elevators – Indented for transport of goods. Their carrying
load can vary between 2000 to 4500 kilograms. Most often their source of power
are electric engines.
Stage elevators - They are often used in theaters
to lift the entire stage filled with musicians and performers to the main level.
They are sometimes powered by hydraulics and their lift distance is limited to
one or two building levels.
Vehicle elevators – They are used in to
transfer cars in parking garages or manufacturing buildings. Some of them rotate
during their ascent or descent to ensure that driver only needs to drive forward
when exiting.
Boat elevators - It some smaller river sections canal
crossings can be equipped with boat elevators that will lift entire sections of
the water and bridge two differing water levels.
Aircraft elevators –
Often used on aircraft carriers, they transport vehicles and goods from the
internal hangars to the flight deck. They are designed to lift far greater
weights then normal freight elevators, sometimes up to 90 tons.
