passenger elevator
Vertical transport cab
A passenger elevator is an elevator designed to carry people rather than freight.
The distinction matters in building codes and engineering specifications—passenger elevators prioritize smooth rides, safety features, and interior comfort, while freight elevators emphasize load capacity and durability.
Most elevators in offices, hotels, and apartment buildings are passenger elevators.
