Lift Sizes

Both a passenger and goods lift are available in a range of sizes and dimensions and any company or organisation wishing to install an elevator must consider carefully what the individual needs of the building are and what is the most appropriate lift size to accommodate these.

From the smallest lifts such as dumb waiters, which are generally used to transport hot food to its destination quickly, to the commercial elevators designed to hold large quantities of people and cargo or freight each type has its own place in a building or business. Some residential passenger lifts may also be designed to accommodate just a single or two people or just one wheelchair.

For example, some companies or build structures are relatively small and as such only require an elevator that is of a standard or more modest size. These lifts can generally carry approximately ten to twelve people (or smaller) and are ideal for taking passengers to the required floor in a convenient and relatively quick manner. Businesses such as office based companies or small to medium sized enterprises may be the appropriate types to utilise the more average sized elevators.

Many other buildings though are extremely large and significant numbers of people or goods may need to be transported from one floor to another throughout the day. Some passenger lifts for example can accommodate up to 33 people and are ideal for premises or companies which need to transport larger numbers of individuals or bigger quantities of stock or supplies quickly and conveniently. These types of elevators may be appropriate for hospitals or busy warehouses or retail outlets.

Here at Elevation Lift Services we can ensure that a passenger lift or a goods lift is maintained to the highest of standards no matter what the size or dimensions.
