Elevator & Escalator Installation
How is the elevator installed?
Elevator installation is one of the most important steps in elevator service and maintenance. If this is not done by experts and the important safety points necessary for installation are not taken care of, the elevator may encounter problems after a while and cause accidents.
Sometimes, when purchasing, a person buys the best types of elevators and their parts, but entrusts the installation of this device to non-specialists, and this leads to the elevator losing its optimal performance after a while. Therefore, in addition to purchasing high-quality spare parts, you should also pay attention to the installation process.
To install an elevator, just like installing any other device, you must follow the steps and pay attention to the points, and we will review and mention all of these steps and points below.
How old should an elevator be?
The lifespan of an elevator is usually between 20 to 30 years. But what if regular maintenance and partial refurbishment later in the life cycle could extend the lifespan to more than 50 years – and even make the elevator more beautiful, safer, more energy efficient and smarter? These benefits plus the significant cost savings equal a big win for building owners.
How is the elevator installed?
The cost of installing this device depends on various factors; These include the type of elevator, hydraulic, traction, or other conditions, the number of elevator stops, the type of building, new or old, or whether it has an elevator shaft or not, and such factors.
Elevator selling companies will design, manufacture and install an elevator for you according to your cost, the type of building and other things, and we will talk about how to calculate its total cost below.
If you live in a multi-storey apartment where some floors are in favor of installing an elevator and others are against it, if the total area of the floors in favor of the installation is greater than the total area of the floor opposite the floors, then opposing it will have no effect, and the other floors can share the installation cost required by those floors. Categories too.
Space required to install the elevator
The space required to install this device means the same dimensions and sizes of the elevator shaft within which the cabin and elevator system are placed.
The space required for installation is generally divided into several categories and is calculated according to the dimensions and sizes of these categories;
The space required on the vertical level means from the bottom of the shaft to the ceiling of the elevator shaft
The space required on the horizontal plane means the width and depth of the elevator shaft
The space required for the engine room
Therefore, to calculate the space required for the installation, each of these elements must be calculated to obtain the dimensions of the required space.
Each of these cases is also studied and calculated according to different factors;
For example, in the first case, i.e. calculating the required space in the vertical section, several factors must be taken into account; Including the length of the elevator’s movement path, that is, the length of the path that the elevator must travel on from the lowest point to the highest point, calculating the space needed for the work service barrier, as well as calculating the space needed to install accessories.
Or in the second case, it means that calculating the required area in the horizontal section has three factors that affect the depth of the well: Including the depth of the cab, the space occupied by the elevator door (which varies depending on the type of door), and the space required for the weights.
Three factors also affect shaft width: the space required to install the rails, the width of the elevator cabin, and the type and width of the elevator door.

Elevator installation price
The price of elevator installation varies depending on the model of the elevator and its parts. For example, if you want a two-door elevator, its installation price will certainly be higher than a single-door elevator, and the number of stops also has a great impact on the installation cost.
But to know the exact price for installing this device, you can call the phone numbers listed on the site.
How to calculate the cost of installing an elevator in an apartment
To calculate the installation cost, you must follow the following steps:
First, you go to the relevant companies or their offices to request purchase or installation, and your specifications and requests are recorded by sales and installation experts.
In the next step, design and mapping experts indicate the required building and the necessary checks are carried out by them.
After technical inspections and other necessary checks, elevator design engineers begin design work.
After performing all the above steps, the financial group will calculate the purchase cost as well as the cost of installing this device for you.
In the previous steps, the design of the elevator was also mentioned. Some may ask: How is the installation cost alone calculated? In response to this question, it must be said that since elevator installation is an after-sales service, that is why the design, production and installation cost are calculated together. But if you are just looking for information about the installation cost, you can contact our experts on site to find out all the exact costs.
What is the best type of elevator?
The main reason for the popularity of hydraulic lifts is that they are affordable to install and their maintenance costs are lower than other lifts. Hydraulic elevators consume more energy because they use an electric motor that works against gravity.
Each of these cases is also studied and calculated according to different factors;
For example, in the first case, i.e. calculating the required space in the vertical section, several factors must be taken into account; Including the length of the elevator’s movement path, that is, the length of the path that the elevator must travel on from the lowest point to the highest point, calculating the space needed for the work service barrier, as well as calculating the space needed to install accessories.
Or in the second case, it means that calculating the required area in the horizontal section has three factors that affect the depth of the well: Including the depth of the cab, the space occupied by the elevator door (which varies depending on the type of door), and the space required for the weights. Three factors also affect shaft width: the space required to install the rails, the width of the elevator cabin, and the type and width of the elevator door.
The elevator engine room is also a space where the control panel, three-phase electrical panel and elevator motor are located. The engine house should be located above the elevator shaft and is usually built on decks, and its dimensions and sizes are calculated based on various factors. In the picture in front of you, you can see the space calculation table required to install a residential passenger elevator, which is calculated according to the type of elevator, the type of elevator door, the size of the elevator capacity, the dimensions of the well and the engine room. The capacity required to install other elevators is also calculated in the same way.
Steps to install the elevator
Elevators are divided into different types, the most important of which are traction elevators and hydraulic elevators, which are the most commonly used. For this reason, in this section we discuss the steps for installing these two types of elevators.
Traction elevator installation steps;
Traction elevators are considered one of the most complex elevators that consist of different parts, and for this reason they are difficult to install.
The steps for installing this type of elevator are divided into 4 main steps:
- Building and strengthening the elevator well
- placing and installing the elevator rails, which is a very important step, because if the rails are not placed and installed correctly and in accordance with the elevator cabin the elevator will face problems when moving and sometimes it will not move.
Therefore, the rails must be installed correctly, and their surface must be completely smooth so as not to impede the movement of the cab. - Installing Floor Doors Floor doors are the same doors that are installed on the elevator cabin on different floors.
Installing doors on floors increases safety and prevents people from falling into the elevator shaft.
Floor doors are installed before other mechanical and electrical parts to prevent elevator installers and other construction workers from falling into the elevator shaft. - Finally, other mechanical and electrical parts of the elevator are installed, such as electrical panels, motors, cables, and cabins, and in general, all parts are installed.
The steps for installing this elevator are similar to the steps for installing the traction elevator mentioned above, i.e.;
- Good preparation
- Installation of rails
- Installation of floor doors
- Installation of electrical and mechanical parts
But there is a slight difference in the installation of these two elevators, which relates to the final stage. Because these two elevators, due to their different functions, their electrical and mechanical parts will definitely be different.
Installing an elevator outside the building
Sometimes we see buildings that have elevators installed outside the building and on the facade of the building. This installation method has several reasons, including; The lack of space, the lack of a well-placed elevator inside the building, and the lack of space to create a well. This method of installation is also considered a modern method and method that also makes the building beautiful. For this reason, some hotels, hospitals and commercial centers use this method, and installation is used
But if you intend to install an elevator on the facade of the building, you should pay attention to the following points:
- For installation in old buildings (which did not have an elevator from the beginning), you must first obtain an installation permit, it does not matter if you intend to install the elevator outside or inside the building.
- First, the desired building and the space outside the building where you have thought of installing this device must be modernized, and the structures related to that part must be strengthened so that no problems or accidents occur after installation.
- To install all types of elevators, whether inside or outside the building, a specific space is needed. The minimum space required for installation is 100 cm – 160 cm or 145 cm – 145 cm, and this depends on the type of elevator.
It is also the responsibility of the employer to carry out all construction work and prepare the facade for installation, meaning that the employer must advance the work to the stage stated by the elevator installer and then deliver it to the elevator installer.
