Eiffel Tower Elevators

While its the Eiffel Tower’s iconic iron lattice design is instantly recognizable, one of the lesser-known but equally fascinating aspects of the monument lies in its elevators. These lifts, which carry millions of passengers to the different levels of the tower each year, are not just a means of transport but a marvel of engineering and innovation that has evolved since the tower’s inauguration in 1889. When Gustave Eiffel designed his tower for the 1889 Exposition Universelle (World’s Fair), one of the biggest challenges was finding a way to move people efficiently to the upper platforms. At 300 meters tall (324 meters including antennas), the Eiffel Tower was the tallest structure in the world at the time, and conventional elevator systems were not capable of handling the extreme height or the sloping legs of the tower.

Early elevator manufacturers hesitated to take on the project, citing safety and mechanical difficulties. Eventually, the French company Roux, Combaluzier & Lepape, together with the American Otis Elevator Company, designed and installed systems that combined hydraulic power with innovative mechanics to transport visitors up the angled legs of the structure.
