Choosing the right elevator system is crucial for ensuring comfort, safety, and long-term value in any building. Whether you’re designing a residential tower, a commercial complex, or a medical facility, this article will walk you through 6 key steps to help you make the best decision.
“The best journeys begin with the right lift.”
- Define Your Building’s Purpose
Start by analyzing how your building will be used. Is it residential or commercial? Will there be high foot traffic or peak-hour congestion? These factors determine the type and capacity of the elevator you’ll need.
- Know Your Passenger Flow
Understanding the number of users per day helps you determine the ideal speed, cabin size, and number of elevators required for smooth operation.
- Explore Elevator Types
Learn the difference between traction, hydraulic, machine-room-less (MRL), and panoramic elevators. Each system has different features, costs, and space requirements.
- Check for Safety and Standards
Make sure the elevator system complies with international safety codes (EN, ISO) and local Egyptian building regulations. At GEC, we only install systems that meet or exceed these standards.
