| has gloss | eng: Double-deck elevators are designed with two elevator cars which are attached one on top of the other. This allows passengers on two consecutive floors to be able to use the elevator simultaneously, significantly increasing the passenger capacity of an elevator shaft. Such a scheme can prove efficient in buildings where the volume of traffic would normally have a single elevator stopping at every floor. An example, a passenger may board one elevator (which serves only odd numbered floors) on the ground floor while another passenger may board another elevator (which now serves even numbered floors) on the second floor. The elevator serving even floors is actually on top of the elevator serving odd floors in the same lift shaft. When a passenger disembarks from the even floor serving elevator at level 30 for instance, the passengers in the odd floor serving elevator beneath it are kept waiting until the elevator doors above close. |

| has gloss | rus: Двухэтажный лифт — лифт, сконструированный из двух жёстко скреплённых кабин, расположенных одна над другой. Это позволяет пассажирам размещаться на двух этажах лифта одновременно, что значительно увеличивает пропускную способность шахты лифта. Такая схема может оказаться эффективной в зданиях, в которых остановки лифта происходят почти на каждом этаже. Так, например, один двухэтажный лифт позволяет пассажирам совершать посадку на двух соседних этажах одновременно. |
