Pre-Planning for an Elevator Hoistway

Design the future elevator into your base floor plan using "in-line closets".

• Arrange floor plan to incorporate stacked closets at each floor level.
• Include an 8" min. pit with temporary floor at the bottom level.
• Include a structural wall on the support wall side of the closet for the rails.
• Match the closet size to the elevator shaft requirements (50" x 56 ½" for a typical 36" x 48" on/off same side cab)
• Provide false floor at the intermediate floor level.
• Ensure adequate overhead is built into design at upper level.
• Make electrical provisions for power and lighting for elevator equipment.
• Allows buyer or next owner to install an elevator at a later date.
