Elevator Types: Hydraulic Elevators; contact an elevator accident lawyer
Hydraulic elevators are rather common. Like all elevators, they must meet certain specifications and regulations. They must also be inspected often to ensure safety. Failure to inspect an elevator could be a contributing factor to negligence that may entitle you to a large cash settlement if you've been in an elevator accident.

- Conventional Hydraulic elevators are common for low and medium rise buildings (2-5 stories). They use a hydraulically powered plunger to push the elevator upwards. On some, the hydraulic piston (plunger) consists of telescoping concentric tubes, allowing a shallow tube to contain the mechanism below the lowest floor. On others, the piston requires a deeper hole below the bottom landing, usually with a PVC casing for protection.
- Roped hydraulic.
- Twin post hydraulic
- Holeless hydraulic elevators do not require holes to be dug for the hydraulic cylinder. In one design manufactured by Otis, the cab is lifted by a pair of hydraulic jacks, one on each side of the elevator.
