A common error when laying out a home for a residential elevator is not accounting for the equipment needed to drive the elevator system. It’s good to have an idea of what type of system you want to use during the design stage of your home.
This hydraulic elevator install was used in a home on 30A along the Emerald Coast of Florida. A closet adjacent to the elevator shaft was used for the equipment.
If you do not have an available closet adjacent to the elevator shaft, contact your Genesis Elevator Company representative for a creative solution.Although it is not preferred, the machine room can be located up to 50 feet from the elevator shaft for a hydraulic application.
In other cases, Genesis has Machine-Room-Less options. With this option, all elevator equipment can be located inside the shaft but proper overhead space is required. Give Genesis Elevator Company a call to decide which option best fits your application. 770-423-1095
