Types of Elevators used Offshore

ABS and ATEX certified Offshore Rack & Pinion Elevator

Seen on your right, GEDA's ABS and ATEX certified Offshore Rack & Pinion Industrial Elevators are ideal for vertical transportation of personnel & material on FPSO's (floating production, storage and offloading unit) which is a floating vessel used by the offshore oil and gas industry for the production and processing of hydrocarbons, and for the storage of oil. The FPSO is designed to take all of the oil or gas produced from nearby platforms, and store it until the oil or gas can be offloaded onto a tanker or transported through a pipeline.

Other types of elevators are:

Cargo elevators
Deck house elevators
Material lifts
Dumbwaiters
Derrick Elevators
VRC's (Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors)
Explosion Proof Elevators
