Lift selection should start with how the building will use the lift, not only how the cabin looks. Passenger flow, load, floor count, available space and the type of people or material being moved all affect the solution.
Passenger lifts
Passenger lifts are used for day-to-day movement in homes, apartments, offices and commercial buildings. Capacity and expected traffic are key planning considerations.
Goods lifts
Goods lifts are designed around material movement. Load requirements, door arrangement and handling conditions should be considered early.
Hospital lifts
Institutional and hospital movement can require additional cabin space and practical access for stretchers or equipment.
Panoramic and architectural lifts
Where appearance is important, panoramic lifts can become part of the building experience. The technical solution still needs to be aligned with site conditions and serviceability.
A site review is the best way to match lift type and service requirement to the building.
