Supersonic Speed to Eco Lifts: The Future Of Lift Design
Since the invention of the modern form of elevators in the early 19th century, lift design has developed drastically from rope-based pulleys to intricate, computerised systems. As lift designs have evolved, they have influenced the ways in which we move within buildings and interact meaningfully with the world around us. It is vital that buildings are fitted with fast, efficient, and safe lifting services. Here, at ADL Lifting Services, we provide eco lifts which are at the forefront of lift design. Read on to discover what to expect from the future of lift design and services.
Increased Personalisation
A lift design trend currently on the cusp of wide usage is increased personalisation, with the option for bespoke customization of lift services and systems. Rather than a one-size-fits-all solution, lift design can now be moulded to the specific needs of each building and the demands of its occupants.
Beyond customised lighting, finishes, and controls, the future of lift services will have technologically-advanced additional options, such as touchscreen displays, voice recognition, and virtual assistants. These technologies can be adapted to the needs of individual organisations and businesses, shifting the lift service experience into something more than merely going from A to B.
Ultra-Fast Lift Designs
As we approach the future, with society growing and evolving with increasingly advanced technologies, there is going to be a further increase in the number and height of skyscrapers. This, alongside the development of smart city initiatives which use technology to increase urban mobility, lifts will need to be quicker and faster in their transportation.
New materials, smart technology, and more comprehensive safety measures will enable lift services to become ultra-fast, capable of reaching supersonic speeds without endangering the passengers. This will represent a huge advance in lift design and the nature in which humans interact with buildings, as going between multiple floors will become as intuitive as, say, opening a door.
Sustainable Materials
With sustainability and the climate becoming a key priority in modern society, eco-lifts will become more advanced and central to buildings and their lift services. Energy-efficient motors and regenerative braking are two examples of how technology can realistically reduce carbon consumption - ADL Lift Services, for example, currently designs eco-lifts which generate electricity which can then be fed back into the national grid.
Furthermore, lift design could feature materials such as graphene and carbon nanotubes. These eco-friendly materials are lightweight, provide unprecedented strength, and are incredibly durable, making them perfectly suitable for innovative eco-lift designs in the future.
When Can We Expect Innovation In Lift Design?
Whilst supersonic high-speed lift services are a development for the future, eco-lift designs are currently available at ADL Lift Services. Based in Scotland, ADL Lift Services are at the forefront of the future of lift design, with eco-lifts which use a multitude of energy-saving measures which can reduce power consumption, reducing your business’s carbon footprint whilst saving money also.
