What is Vertical Transportation Design?

Vertical transportation (VT) systems, such as lifts and escalators, are a vital asset in any building. Vertical transportation elements are highly visible, meaning a well-designed lift or escalator can serve as a cornerstone for a truly beautiful building. Not only do VT elements serve your building’s design, but they also serve an important purpose in helping everyone, from visitors to owners to tenants, navigate your building quickly and efficiently.

Escalator and lift design is the process of designing vertical transportation assets, taking into consideration peak traffic patterns, capacity handling, average wait time, mixed use and priority services requirements, average time to destination, and future populations in your building.

At Lerch Bates, we have decades of experience designing first-class vertical transportation. We know the ins and outs of escalator and lift design, and we have the technical expertise to ensure your VT systems are well-designed, up-to-date, and optimized to last.
