An elevator or lift is a vertical transport vehicle that efficiently moves people or goods between floors of a building. They are powered by electric motors that either drive traction cables and counterweights a pulley, or pump hydraulic fluid to raise a cylindrical piston.
Languages other than English may have loanwords based on either elevator (e.g. Japanese) or lift (e.g. Cantonese).
Because of wheelchair access laws, elevators are often a legal requirement in new buildings with just a few floors.
