Space lord,
Every elevator isn't the same. They don't all have the same technology. Not all hydraulic elevators are set up with an emergency lowering feature. Such a feature is installed to lower the elevator to a designated floor. And would only function if all the safety features are functioning correctly.
And just for your personal education, an elevator would run down to a floor (not drop).
I did not say run because I thought that implied it was a powered during the operation and in this situation would be a power outage.
When I say drop, perhaps that was not the current word. I mean it would drop extremely slowly and at a safe speed gentle down to the bottom floor if there was no power.
In any event, here is a follow question. Are regular off the shelf UPS provide enough power to operate these small hydraulic elevators in an emergency? I think I saw one connected but I'm not 100% sure.
Thanks.
