Equipping the tower with adequate and safe passenger lifts was a major concern of the government commission overseeing the Exposition.

Although some visitors could be expected to climb to the first level, or even the second, lifts clearly had to be the main means of ascent.

Lead weights on some links of the upper or return sections of the chains counterbalanced most of the car's weight.

The car was pushed up from below, not pulled up from above : to prevent the chain buckling, it was enclosed in a conduit.
