Turbolift/Legends

A turbolift, vacuum-lift, vacuum elevator, or lift tube was an "elevator" powered by a repulsorlift and was used mostly to transport people or cargo through large ships, buildings such as those on upper Coruscant, or even space stations such as the Wheel and the Death Stars.

They were capable of reaching great speeds without personal injury. The devices were sometimes referred to as turbovators rather than turbolifts; usage varied from world to world. Centerpoint Station referred to its elevator system that ran through Hollowtown and through the various metal shells as turbovators.

Though they provided a similar function, the drop shaft was distinctive from the turbolift.

Some lifts would play lift-tube music.

Behind the scenes
The obvious real-world equivalent would be an "elevator" or "lift", except an elevator is moved by cables and other electronics, while a turbolift it moved by a Repulsorlift. Turbolifts have often been shortened in various Star Wars media to the British English word for the real-world equivalent "lift".
