3. ➔ The safety, efficiency and costs of using a
passenger elevator are tied to your decision
when buying one. Because of mistakes made
at this stage, many owners and developers
later deal with costs and management issues.
Looking at these frequent problems allows you
to choose a system that will suit your building
for the following decades. It emphasizes eight
important things to avoid when selecting a
passenger elevator system for your building.
Introduction

4. Ignoring Building Traffic Patterns
One of the most significant oversights is
failing to analyze your building's actual
traffic flow and usage patterns. Many
people assume that any lifts services will
suffice without considering peak hours,
user demographics, and specific building
functions.

5. Overlooking Weight Capacity
Requirements
Underestimating the necessary weight capacity is a frequent
mistake that leads to operational limitations and safety
concerns.Consider consulting with elevator professionals who can
assess your specific needs and recommend appropriate capacity
ratings that provide adequate safety margins.

6. Focusing Only on Initial
Purchase Price
Many buyers make the critical error
of selecting elevators based solely
on the lowest upfront cost, ignoring
long term operational expenses.
This short sighted approach often
results in higher total ownership
costs over the elevator's lifespan. A
comprehensive cost analysis
spanning ten to twenty years
provides a more accurate picture of
the true investment required and
helps identify the most economical
choice for your specific situation.

7. Neglecting Future Maintenance Costs
➔ Not planning and budgeting for regular
maintenance costs can bring financial stress to a
building’s budgets for years. Maintaining an
elevator usually costs less in some cases and much
more in others depending on who built it and what
model is used. Almost everywhere it is required by
law to maintain vehicles regularly for both safety
and compliance.

8. Choosing Wrong
Elevator Type for
Building Needs
Selecting an inappropriate elevator
type for your specific building
requirements can result in inefficient
operation and user
dissatisfaction.Machine room-less
elevators save space but might have
limited customization options.

9. Insufficient Space
Planning and
Measurements
Not planning space correctly and
taking incorrect measurements can
cause projects to stall and result in
costly changes or poor lift function.
Making elevators for existing
buildings requires changing
building structures which can make
the project more expensive.
Preparing well allows you to avoid
going over budget and means you
won’t miss any safety and operating
requirements.

10. Skipping Professional
Installation Requirements
Attempting to cut costs by using unqualified
installers or skipping professional oversight
represents a dangerous mistake that can
compromise safety and void warranties. Most
manufacturers require certified installation by
authorized technicians.

11. Ignoring Safety Standards and
Regulations
Neglecting to follow safety rules and regulations can
lead to big legal and financial issues. Different places
and types of buildings have their own elevator rules,
covering fire service access, emergency calls and
other access features.

12. Conclusion
➔ There are several points to think about
apart from the up-front cost when
picking a residential lift. Staying aware of
these mistakes can help you pick an
elevator system that is easy to operate,
safe and won’t cost much to keep up over
time. Spend time looking into what your
building requires, examine each product
in detail and use an expert to guide you
through every step.
