Lifts are universally used by the [[UNSC]] in all sorts of structures, such as [[Starship|starships]] and [[Space Station|space stations]].  
Humans use lifts in all sorts of structures, including starships and [[space station]]s. Human lifts are mostly traditional and practical in design. They are usually powered by conventional methods, such as cables or tracks. Additionally, humans use [[space elevator]]s, massive structures stretching from a planet's surface to [[geosynchronous orbit]], to ferry cargo into space. Constructed of [[carbon nanofiber]], these elevators are powered by strands of superconducting material, similar to [[MagLev Train]]s.

Template:Ratings A lift, or an elevator is a method of vertical transportation, common among all factions in the Halo Universe.

Forerunner

Main article: Forerunner Elevators
A Forerunner lift on Installation 00.

Lifts are commonplace on almost every Forerunner installation, including the Halo Array.

Forerunner lifts vary greatly in design depending on their purpose and location. For example, those around the control center were small and had six corners, while those around the Library where big enough for a Pelican to land on. It should also be known that almost all the lifts seen in Halo: Combat Evolved, except the really large ones, had a transparent floor. On Installation 04, there were plentiful lifts around the area of the Control Room, but also on other locations around the installation. Forerunner lifts have several different methods of propulsion. How exactly they work, is not always clear. Most lifts move without apparent propulsion systems at all, some have beams of energy supporting them, such as the lifts on the Ark.

Forerunner lifts can be seen in the following levels:

Halo: Combat Evolved

Halo 2

Halo 3

Human

Humans use lifts in all sorts of structures, including starships and space stations. Human lifts are mostly traditional and practical in design. They are usually powered by conventional methods, such as cables or tracks. Additionally, humans use space elevators, massive structures stretching from a planet's surface to geosynchronous orbit, to ferry cargo into space. Constructed of carbon nanofiber, these elevators are powered by strands of superconducting material, similar to MagLev Trains.

Human-made lifts appear in the following levels:

Halo: Combat Evolved

Halo 2

Halo 3

Halo 3: ODST

Halo: Reach

Covenant

A Covenant Gravity lift.

Lifts used by the Covenant differ from their human-made counterparts. Instead of using traditional conventional methods, they utilize a more advanced technology, called gravity lifts. These devices create anti-gravity fields, which can be used to safely move objects vertically without any kind of moving platform.

Gravity lifts are mostly used in Covenant cities and structures, such as High Charity. They are also used in Covenant starships to transport and deploy troops and objects to a surface safely. Additionally, anti-gravity technology is also used in smaller pieces of equipment, such as Portable Gravity Lifts or Deployable Lookout Towers.
