This book was written for the purpose of making available a compact, adequate summary of the formulas, facts and principals pertaining to elevator and escalator design. It is intended primarily as a reference book and represents an attempt to meet a present need of the industry. This need results from necessity for more accurate methods of analysis imposed by the trend of robust engineering practice. Architects, consultants, elevator engineers and technicians, sales engineers and engineering students will find this book of value when confronted with problems involving elevator design, manufacturing and code implementation.

In an engineering book of this magnitude, a large part of which deals with the latest technology and equipment available in the market, the author depended heavily on the generosity and cooperation of manufacturers for the latest designs, data, specifications and images. It is an excellent introduction to the inner workings of the global elevator industry.

This is the last book written by Ben Abbaspour as he died on April 4, 2023.
