Which term corresponds to electrical connections specific to vertical lifts?

• A. Auto Fold
• B. Auxiliary Power
• C. Cleanup
• D. Hoistway Wiring

Answer: (D)

Electrical connections that move with a vertical lift are called hoistway wiring. This wiring arrangement, often referred to as traveling cables, runs through the hoistway between the controller in the machine room and the car. It carries power, control signals, door equipment, and safety interlocks as the car travels up and down. Because these conductors flex repeatedly, they’re designed to be flexible and durable with proper strain relief and routing to withstand the motion and ensure reliability. The other terms don’t describe this moving in-the-hoistway connection: they refer to different systems or functions and aren’t the standard name for the electrical connections specific to vertical lifts.
