A sightseeing elevator is a vertical lift powered by an electric motor, equipped with a box-shaped cabin, used for transporting passengers or goods in multi-story buildings. One or more walls of the shaft and car are made of transparent material, allowing passengers to view the scenery outside the car.
Elevators with at least one transparent side of the shaft and car walls, allowing passengers to view the scenery outside the car, are mainly installed in hotels, shopping malls, and high-rise office buildings.
There are also sightseeing elevators on the market that do not require a pit and have their own shaft and screw-type design. These elevators have a simple and aesthetically pleasing design, no special requirements for civil engineering, and almost no restrictions on the height of the top floor. They can be installed in duplexes and apartments in high-rise buildings, and the installation time is short.
