Rattly Metal Elevator

The old elevator seems to quake and reverberate with each floor, as it glides its way up. Heavy machinery helps wind its way towards the top floors. You can just about imagine the cables heaving with might, as they strain towards their destination, and finally the doors glide open.

n elevator (lift in British English) is a type of vertical transport equipment that efficiently moves people or goods between floors (levels,decks) of a building, vessel, or other structure. Elevators are generally powered by electric motors that either drive traction cables or counterweight systems like a hoist, or pump hydraulic fluid to raise a cylindrical piston like a jack.
