If elevators are classified according to their intended use, it may be possible to group such as human elevators, freight elevators, service elevators and mine elevators. Human elevators are elevators which are designed especially for human use and provided ease of use and cabin comfort. Freight elevators are mainly low-speed and simple-structured elevators, which are mainly used for carrying loads, which are not allowed for human use. Firstly, in the 1960 years, service elevators which can be controlled electronically have been used. Service elevators are generally used in the hotel, restaurant and villas to carry meals, plates, cups and trays from the kitchen. they are designed for the purpose of carrying loads only to the extent that people cannot enter them. The service elevators which can be considered as small type freight elevators have different carrying capacities from 50 Kg to 250 Kg.
Moncharge service elevators are generally guillotine type doors. The guillotine doors provide a great convenience to the user by opening and closing them with a simple movement and do not occupy space when they are opened like semi-automatic doors. Stainless steel cabins and doors are always preferred because they have to be hygienic.
Service elevators generally have a carrying capacity of at most 500 kg and are mostly used in restaurants, health institutions, some businesses, libraries and offices to carry goods and materials between floors. Therefore, it is produced to be resistant to moisture and abrasion. In addition, it is requested to be easy to clean and hygienic. Such elevators are of a size that cannot be entered by a person and operate with a rotary drive system. It is not wrong to call service elevators small-sized freight elevators. Since they are mostly used in restaurant kitchens, they are also called kitchen elevators or food elevators. Although the service elevators do not pose a risk in terms of life safety, they carry a risk in terms of damage to the loads they carry. For this reason, it is absolutely necessary to have the service elevators checked and inspected at least once a year.
Such elevators also have a number of safety systems such as overload warning system, crash prevention system, unnecessary up and down motion prevention system, brake motor system, manual release system and audible motion warning system. periodic checks are performed.
