Lift Specification Generator

A practical starting point for defining your lift requirements before requesting drawings, quotations or technical proposals.

What is a lift specification?

A lift specification describes the technical and functional requirements of an elevator installation. It can include lift type, capacity, speed, number of stops, shaft dimensions, door arrangement, cabin finishes, drive system, controls, safety features and electrical requirements.

How this lift specification generator works

Select your project requirements, configure the lift capacity and performance, enter shaft and cabin requirements, select safety features and review the generated specification. You can then save, copy, print, download as PDF or share the specification.

Lift requirements checklist

Before requesting a lift quotation, it is useful to establish the building type, number of floors, number of stops, intended usage, required capacity, lift speed, available shaft dimensions, pit depth, headroom, door configuration, cabin finish, power supply and safety features.

Lift capacity and speed

Lift capacity should be selected according to expected passenger load and application. Speed depends on building height, number of floors, traffic requirements and intended use. Final technical selection should be confirmed during engineering and site review.

What is MRL?

MRL means Machine Room Less. In an MRL elevator, the traction machine and associated equipment are arranged within the lift shaft rather than requiring a separate conventional machine room. Actual space requirements depend on the selected elevator system and manufacturer.

Is a lift specification the same as a quotation?

No. A specification defines the technical and functional requirements of a lift. A quotation additionally covers commercial matters such as price, taxes, installation, delivery, warranty, maintenance, payment terms and scope.

Frequently Asked Questions

What details are needed to specify a lift?

Important details include building type, floors, stops, capacity, speed, shaft dimensions, pit, headroom, door configuration, cabin requirements, drive system, controls, safety features and electrical requirements.

How do I choose lift capacity?

Capacity should be based on expected passenger load and application. Residential, commercial, hospital and service lifts may have different requirements.

What lift speed should I choose?

Speed depends on building height, number of stops, expected usage and traffic requirements. Final speed should be confirmed during technical design.

What shaft dimensions are required for a lift?

Required shaft width and depth depend on capacity, cabin dimensions, door arrangement, equipment and manufacturer. Pit and headroom requirements also vary by system.

What is ARD in a lift?

ARD commonly refers to an Automatic Rescue Device. It is designed to move a lift to a suitable floor during certain power-failure conditions and assist passenger release, subject to the selected system and applicable requirements.

What is the difference between centre-opening and telescopic doors?

A centre-opening door uses panels that open from the centre toward both sides. A telescopic door uses panels that slide in the same direction and overlap when opening.

Can I share my lift specification with a lift company?

Yes. The generated specification can be copied, printed, saved as PDF or shared using the device's supported sharing features.

Is a lift specification the same as a quotation?

No. A specification defines requirements and technical characteristics. A quotation additionally includes commercial scope, pricing and contractual information.
