Lifting Systems for High-Rise Buildings

摘要

Elevators 46 for use during construction, maintenance and emergency evacuation which ride on rails 5 on the outside perimeter of buildings are proposed. The rails 5 can be on flat or curved walls. Trusses 45 on the elevators 46 can support a crane. A pivotable platform 122 of elevator 46 can work in conjunction with the crane to install or remove trusses 45 for supporting the crane. During emergencies people can escape buildings and fire fighting equipment and personnel can enter building using the outside elevators 46. Construction safety may be improved by use of the easy to assemble, disassemble and move crane. The elevator cars 46 may be easily attached to rails 5 on the outside of buildings when needed and removed, transported and stored when not needed.
