An observation lift is a motor-driven vertical elevator equipped with a box-shaped cabin, designed to carry passengers or goods in multi-story buildings. The shaft and at least one side of the cabin walls are transparent, allowing passengers to view the surroundings outside the cabin. FUJISCH's observation lifts meet the needs of tourists, enabling them to enjoy the beautiful scenery around them while experiencing the elevator ride. These lifts are widely applicable in shopping malls, stations, ports, exhibition halls, and other public spaces.
The cylindrical structure of the observation lift provides passengers with a full view of the surrounding landscape, both horizontally and vertically.
Compared to freight elevators, domestic cylindrical observation lifts better distribute weight and force, reducing vibrations and sway caused by an unstable center of gravity. This ensures a smoother and more comfortable ride experience.
Cylindrical observation lifts offer unique architectural appeal. The circular design is often seen as smooth, soft, and inclusive, blending seamlessly with the surrounding architecture or landscape, resulting in a more harmonious overall visual effect.
The cabins and floors of observation lifts are typically made of glass or transparent materials, allowing passengers to enjoy views of the external environment.
Observation lifts are usually installed on the exterior of buildings or close to the façade, providing passengers with spectacular views as they ascend or descend.
The operating principle of observation lifts is similar to that of regular passenger elevators, utilizing a motor and cable system to transport passengers vertically.
The design and decoration of observation lifts emphasize comfort and visual appeal, offering passengers the best possible viewing experience.
