What is another word for elevator car?
Pronunciation: [ˈɛlɪvˌe͡ɪtə kˈɑː] (IPA) 
An elevator car can also be referred to as an elevator cabin, lift car, or simply, cabin. The word car is usually used to describe its function as a vehicle that moves up and down floors. However, the term cabin is more suitable as it gives a better description of the space where people ride. The word lift car is more commonly used in Europe, while cabin is mostly used in North America. The more technical terms are the hoistway enclosure and the elevator cage, which refer to the box that holds the elevator. Despite the various names, the function of the elevator car remains the same - to transport people from one floor to the next.
