What factors determine the price of an elevator?
Elevator prices depend on several factors that must be carefully evaluated. Unlike standard commodities, each elevator features unique component specifications that significantly influence the final cost. To ensure an accurate price offer and product recommendation, it’s essential to provide your provider with detailed and precise information about your project requirements
What is the first step in installing an elevator on my property?
The first step is to research the market thoroughly and select a reputable elevator provider. Look for a company that offers expert consultation throughout the purchasing process and ensures compliance with recognized safety standards, such as the EN 81 European safety standard for elevators.

The main standard in this series is EN 81-20, which covers the construction and installation of lifts, ensuring they meet safety requirements. It addresses aspects like load capacity, safety devices, and fire protection. There are also related standards, such as EN 81-50, which deals with the design and manufacturing of lift components.
What information should I provide to my elevator provider?
To ensure a smooth and accurate elevator installation process, start by providing details about the space available for the elevator. This includes the floor dimensions where the elevator will be installed, as well as the overhead space required for the lifting equipment. Clear and precise measurements will help your provider design or recommend a solution that fits your property’s specific needs.
What Measurements Are Needed for an Initial Elevator Consultation and Price Estimate?
To receive an accurate consultation and price estimate for your elevator installation, provide precise measurements of three essential areas:
- Elevator Pit Dimensions – The depth and width of the pit where the elevator will be installed.
- Number of Floors – The total number of levels the elevator will serve.
- Overhead Space – The vertical clearance in the topmost section of your property.
Which part of an elevator requires the most maintenance?
The mechanical components of an elevator typically require the most servicing. These parts endure constant wear and tear, making their maintenance crucial for reliable operation. It’s essential to choose a qualified provider who supplies high-quality components that meet strict safety standards, ensuring long-term performance and reduced maintenance needs.
