service elevator
Freight-only vertical transport
A service elevator is a freight elevator in a building, used for moving equipment, supplies, and workers rather than the general public.
Hotels and apartment buildings often have service elevators separate from passenger elevators, allowing staff to transport luggage, furniture, or trash without disturbing guests: Deliveries go up the service elevator in back.
