Archaeological excavations have shown that since the era of Ancient Rome, people were lifted on platforms, tied with ropes that the Roman captive slaves pulled.<\/p>\n

At Tibet and ours Meteora, people or merchandise were lifted in baskets, at great heights.

It is said that a visitor of Meteora asked a monk:<\/p>\n

In 1852, in America, before the frightened eyes of the observers \u0395.G.OTIS, cut the ropes of the platform on which he was standing. The platform began to fall and suddenly it instantaneously stopped. The grip device had worked.<\/p>\n

Since then, technology at the sector of elevators made huge leaps.<\/p>\n

In 1857 the first elevator is installed for public use. It moved with a steam engine, which burnt charcoal.<\/p>\n

In 1870 the first hydraulic lifts started to work in New York.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
