Elevator installation


Installing the elevator is one of the main steps in the field of service and maintenance of the elevator and it should be done by experts and also pay attention to the important safety points of the installation, otherwise the elevator may have problems after a while and may lead to accidents

The space required for the installation of these systems is the dimensions and size of the elevator shaft in which the cabin and the elevator system are placed. The space required for installation is generally divided into 3 categories, which are calculated based on the dimensions and sizes of the categories:

  • The necessary space on the vertical level is from the bottom of the well to the ceiling of the elevator well
  • The required space on the horizontal surface is the same as the width and depth of the elevator well
  • The necessary space for the engine room

Therefore, in order to calculate the necessary installation space, each of the above items must be calculated to obtain the dimensions for the desired space

In order to calculate the required space on the vertical level, several points should be taken into account, including the length of the elevator's path, i.e. the path that the elevator must travel from the lowest point to the highest point, and adding the necessary space for the parapet of the work service as well as the space for installing accessories to the calculations. A vertical section is required

In order to calculate the required space on the horizontal plane, three factors affect the depth of the well: the depth of the cabin, the space occupied by the elevator door and the space for the weight, and the factors that affect the width of the well are: the width of the cabin, the door and the type of the elevator door, and the space Necessary to install rails

The steps of installing elevators are divided into four main steps, which are the same in hydraulic and traction elevators, and due to the different functioning of these two systems, differences can be seen in the last step, which are caused by the differences in their electrical and mechanical parts. The installation steps are as follows:

  • Well preparation
  • Installation of rails
  • Installation of floor doors
  • Installation of electrical and mechanical parts
