What is included

What does Apartment-building elevators include?

The service covers choosing, supplying, installing and setting up the elevator, and we agree with you on every detail that suits your building.

Cabin and finish
Cabin dimensions are set to match the shaft, and the finish is chosen to handle heavy daily use.
Landing doors and cabin door
Guide and roller materials are chosen to handle the repeated opening and closing typical in residential buildings.
Motor and drive type
The motor type is decided by floor count and load, and affects where the machine room sits.
Controller and call system
The controller is programmed for the floor count and call priorities after installation.
Pit and overhead clearance
The pit depth and overhead clearance are checked before installation begins.
Suspension ropes and buffers
Ropes are checked at installation, as fraying is an earlier wear sign than noise.

The problem and the answer

From the problem to the answer

Traffic that never stops

In a residential block the elevator runs from early morning until late at night, carrying residents, groceries and pushchairs. That repetition strains the doors, the ropes and the motor together. What many owners do not know is that most faults in apartment-building elevators come from doors not chosen for the intensity of use, not from a fault in the motor.

An elevator chosen for this use

We choose with you the cabin load, the motor type and the door finish to suit the number of floors and the number of residents. The step nobody sees is setting the controller to the actual operating patterns of the building after installation. Call or message us on WhatsApp, tell us the number of floors and the number of apartments, and we agree the details.

FAQ

Questions our customers ask

How do I know my building needs an apartment-building elevator rather than any elevator?

A residential elevator is designed for repeated movement and mixed loads of people and goods. If the building has several apartments over multiple floors, the daily load differs from an office building that works to a fixed schedule. Choosing an elevator not designed for this intensity accelerates wear on the doors and the motor.

What should I prepare in the building before an apartment-building elevator is installed?

Make sure the shaft is fully built to the agreed dimensions, that the pit is the required depth and that the dedicated electrical supply has reached the designated point. Tell residents in advance about the downtime so that work can move freely.

What decides the right load capacity for my apartment building?

Load capacity is decided by the available shaft dimensions, the number of apartments and the expected number of residents. Owners often choose a lower load than needed and then find the elevator overcrowded at peak times and frequently slow. The right capacity is set after knowing the number of apartments per floor and whether the building houses families with young children.

What should I check in an apartment-building elevator after installation?

Check that the cabin stops level with the floor at every floor with no step up or down. Open each landing door separately and watch how it moves. Confirm the elevator does not move while a door is open. Then test it with a load equal to several people and watch the smoothness of movement at the lowest, middle and top floors.

Can an elevator be installed in a building under construction without a separate machine room?

Yes, some residential elevator systems do not need a separate machine room, as the motor is installed inside the shaft at the top or side. This saves space on the building roof but requires that the shaft dimensions account for this from the first day of design, because changing them at a later stage involves structural work.
