All I know is how their use to transport forklifts is addressed in OSHA 1910.178 and the applicable ASME Standard B56.1
 
May I suggest first going Google and seeking "Forklift Standards" and take in the results.
 
Also there is an ASME Standard that should be helpful
 
Finally, I Googled for Otis Elevator if you are looking for a source, dealer etc. They are the world's largest Elevator & Escalator company. Lots of info here.
 
And I remembered to hit "Reply All"

Hello,

I have been asked if I know anything concerning elevators and I know enough
to know that I don't know enough.

Does anyone have experience with elevators:
   Where to purchase?
   Standards / Issues that we need to know
   Who to contact?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Ed
