Yeah but the faster they go the more inertia the whole thing has to handle for those safety mechanism, right? And the added machinery weight impacts on the elevator loading as well.
- jjoonathan 9y agoYes, but there are ways of dealing with inertia. Like making the door lighter and putting padding on the contact surfaces. It's not rocket science. Also, most of the improvement would come from replacing the worst offenders (5-10 second closing times) rather than from shaving 1 second times to 1/2 a second, and there's tons of precedent for the former from the faster-closing 10% or so of existing installations.
