Elevators The first elevators were platforms hoisted up by chains and ropes. Elevators as we know them today are made of square boxes called cabs or "cages." They are attached to a platform in a shaft.	Escalators The first escalator was invented by Jesse W. Reno. He installed it as a ride at The Coney Island theme park in New York in 1897. It was further developed by Charles Seeberger who joined the Otis Elevator Company. He installed the first commercial escalator. It won first prize at the French Exposition Universelle in 1900.

Rolling steel ropes are used to pull up electric elevator cars. The weight of the car is balanced by a counterweight. The basic workings of an elevator are governed by hydraulics.	An esclator is half conveyor belt half staircase. For safety, most escalators have handrails that keep up the pace with the moving stairs.
