  • In the trade these are often called a holeless hydro, because there's nothing that extends below the pit structure. In San Diego there's a sternwheeler at the Bahia Resort that has a holeless hydro in it. With a conventional hydro the piston would have to extend through the hull below the elevator.

  • @ahocknul04 Hydraulic is a type of elevator that has something below it, which means it pushes it up, and pulls down. Traction is a type of elevator that runs on cables.

  • Nice elevator. Btw, the Renzo Piano addition was built in 2002. One of our Wentworth graduates actually worked with Renzo Piano on this project. The original structure was by Richard Meier. Both are absolutely stunning examples of post-modernist architecture.They couldn't have picked a better architect to match Meier's masterpiece.

  • not sure!

  • musicfreakcc is right. do some research on google and you will see what we are talking about.

  • Hydraulic elevators use hydraulic fluids, a motor/pump, pistons and jacks. In a classic in-ground, the motor pumps the fluid out of a resevior and into the cylindar raising the car. Hole-less elevators do this aswell, except the piston is above ground. Roped hydraulics work by having a piston and jack above ground move a pulley upwards, therefore lifting/lowering the elevator. It does this in a 2/1 ration, so for every foot the piston moves, the car moves 2.

  • Traction elevators use a motor and ropes basically, a pulley system. The most common types are gearless, geared, and bottom drive.

  • ???

  • Not a bed retake.
