Elevator Installation
The installation is the short part. The value is in what happens before it — getting the shaft, pit and headroom right while the building is still on paper.
Scope
From drawing-stage advice to a signed handover.
We would rather be involved before the shaft is cast than be asked to fit a lift into one that is 80 mm too narrow. Correcting a shaft afterwards is the most expensive mistake in the whole process.
What is included
- Site survey and traffic study. Population, peak-hour flow and interval target, turned into capacity, speed and car count.
- Shaft, pit and headroom confirmation. Issued in writing at drawing stage so the civil work is built to it.
- Equipment selection. Drive type, controller, doors and finish, specified against the building rather than a catalogue tier.
- Erection and alignment. Rail plumbing, machine mounting, roping and door setting.
- Commissioning and load testing. Full-load and overload tests, brake and governor trips, levelling calibration.
- Handover documentation. Test certificates, wiring diagrams, spare-part list and an operating brief for the building team.
Programme
What a lift installation actually runs to.
For a typical eight-stop passenger lift. Delays are almost always civil-side, which is why we ask for the shaft in a defined condition before we mobilise.
Survey and specification
One visit, about an hour. You get capacity, speed, drive type and shaft requirements back in writing.
Order and manufacture
Equipment lead time, typically four to eight weeks depending on drive type and door configuration.
Shaft handover
The shaft must be plumb, dry, barricaded, with power available and scaffolding as agreed. This is the gate we mobilise against.
Erection
Rails, machine, car, counterweight, doors and wiring. Roughly two to three weeks on site.
Commissioning
Drive tuning, levelling, door timing and safety-device testing. About one week.
Load testing and handover
Full-load and overload tests witnessed, documentation issued, building team briefed on operation and rescue.
Before you build
Four things worth fixing at drawing stage.
Every one of these is cheap to change on a drawing and expensive to change in concrete.
Get the dimensions from the lift company
Not from a standard table. Shaft size depends on the actual car, door type and drive being supplied.
Confirm depth against the drive
Traction lifts need 1200–1600 mm. If that is not achievable, the drive type has to change — not the pit.
Check for beams and sloping roofs
The most common site surprise. Clear headroom is measured to the underside of the lowest obstruction, not the slab.
Plan the supply and the earthing
Three-phase supply at the machine room or shaft head, with proper earthing. Modern drives are less tolerant of poor supply than old geared machines.
Coverage
Elevator Installation across the NCR.
Engineers dispatched from Ghaziabad. Survey visits in all six districts are free.
Common questions
What people ask before booking
How long does installation take?
For a typical eight-stop passenger lift, about three to five weeks on site once the shaft is handed over plumb, dry and with power available. Manufacture runs four to eight weeks before that.
Will you give shaft dimensions before we award the contract?
Yes, and without obligation. We would rather the shaft was right than win the job and then negotiate over a shaft that does not fit.
Can you install into a building that is already occupied?
Yes. MRL, hydraulic and shallow-pit options exist precisely for this, since they reduce or remove the machine room and deep pit requirements.
Who handles the civil work?
Usually your contractor, to our drawings. We can coordinate it, and we always inspect the shaft before mobilising.
What certification comes with handover?
Load and overload test records, safety-device test results, wiring diagrams, a spare-part list and an operating and rescue brief for the building team.
Planning a lift into a new building?
Send the drawings or just the floor count. We will confirm the shaft, pit and headroom in writing before anything gets cast.
