Abstract:This study of low-cost elevators for use in existing transit stations was commissioned by the Transportation Systems Center and included a four-day site study of screw column elevators manufactured by the Ebel Company of Brussels, Belgium. The site studies were made at the company offices and plant and at Belgian elevator installation locations. Information was obtained on current practices pertaining to screw column elevator operation in Belgium, on current screw column elevator design, on code considerations both in Belgium and the United States, and on the Ebel Company's policy regarding the manufacturing of the product in the United States. The assessment team also studied design, construction, maintenance costs, and actual use.
