The wrong capacity means long waits or unnecessary cost. Here is the right way to think about it.
Common capacities
Among the most used capacities in residential buildings are 630 kg (8 persons) and 1000 kg (13 persons); the latter makes moving furniture and wheelchairs easier.
What decides the number?
- Number of floors and apartments
- Expected residents and peak times
- Shops or offices in the building
- The need for a separate service or goods elevator
Traffic analysis
We estimate peak waiting time and recommend the right number, speed and capacity instead of guessing.
The right speed
Speed depends on the number of floors: low-rise buildings need moderate speeds, while towers need higher speeds to cut travel time. More speed than needed adds cost without real benefit; too little causes annoying waits.
FAQ
Is one elevator enough for a 6-floor building?
It depends on apartments and residents; a traffic analysis gives the exact answer.
