A Paternoster is a continuously moving passenger transport. Its cars serve every floor in the shaft. Cars draw power continuously, and carrying passengers adds to consumption.
A shaft requires 2 cars plus 2 additional cars per floor. Each car costs $50,000 to build and $800 per day to maintain, in addition to the system cost.
Strategy
Use a Paternoster fits well in areas that have little traffic but still need elevator transport access. Carts and bins used by workers can also be used on a Paternoster.
