Elevator Manufacturers Teach You How To Choose The Elevator

Selecting the elevator is a systematic project that comprehensively considers technical performance,usage environment and economic benefits.The following is the elevator selection guide recommended by elevator manufacturers to help you make a better choice in terms of safety,performance and aesthetics.

I.Define The Demand——Select The Model According to The Usage Scenario and Function

The functions and environment of different buildings determine the selection criteria of elevators:

1.Use Place and Function Orientation:

● Residential Building:Mainly focus on safety and stability,choose low and medium-speed elevator,the load capacity is usually 630kg-1000kg (8-13 people).

● Office Buildings:High-speed elevators with larger load capacity are needed,equipped with intelligent scheduling system to reduce waiting time during peak hours.

● Shopping Malls and Supermarkets:The combination of escalators and passenger elevators needs to be considered,and wide door design is chosen to facilitate the passage of shopping carts and goods.

● Hospitals:Medical elevators require barrier-free design and spacious space,equipped with smooth start and emergency functions to facilitate stretcher access.

2.Load and Number of Passengers:
According to the scale of the building and daily passenger flow to choose the appropriate load capacity.The load capacity standard is usually:

● Small-Sized Residence or Villa:320kg-400kg (4-6 persons)

● Medium-Sized Homes & Malls:630kg-1000kg (8-13 people)

● Large Shopping Malls and Office Buildings:1350kg or more (18 people and more)

3.Operating Speed and Number of Floors Required:

● Low-Rise Buildings (1-7 Floors):Speed 0.5-1.5m/s,focusing on energy efficiency and comfort.

● Middle and High-Rise Buildings (8-30 Floors):Speed 1.5-2.5m/s,reduce waiting and running time.

● Ultra-High-Rise Buildings (Over 30 Floors):Speed 2.5m/s and above,with multiple elevators operating in different zones.

Ⅱ.Technical Parameters and Performance Configuration——The Choice of Elevator Core Components

1.Traction Machine and Drive System:

● Permanent Magnet Synchronous Gearless Traction Machine:Energy efficient, smooth running,low noise,suitable for most buildings.

● Gear Traction Machine:Suitable for cost-sensitive projects,but with higher energy consumption and more frequent maintenance.

2.Control System and Intelligent Scheduling:

● PLC Control System:Suitable for common residence,lower cost.

● Microcomputer Intelligent Control:Improve operation efficiency and ride comfort,suitable for high-end buildings and business buildings.

3.Door System and Induction Device:

● Door system uses frequency conversion control to ensure smooth and fast door opening and closing.

● Equipped with light curtain sensing and automatic return function to ensure passenger safety.

Ⅲ.Safety and Quality Assurance——The Core Value of The Elevator

1.Safety Function Configuration:

● Emergency Braking System:Prevent the elevator from falling out of control.

● Overspeed Protection Device:Ensure automatic stop when overspeed.Buffer Device and Speed limiter:Provide multiple safety guarantees.

2.Quality Certification and Qualification Examination:

● Check whether the elevator has passed international and domestic certifications.

● Check whether the elevator manufacturer has installation and maintenance qualifications to avoid potential safety risks.

3.Brand and Market Reputation:

● Choose a famous brand with stable market performance and perfect after-sales service system.

● Examine the brand's historical performance and market coverage.

Ⅳ.The Appearance and Decorative Design——Elevator Vision and Style Matching

1.Decorative Materials and Style Selection:

● Stainless Steel Panel:Durable and suitable for high-frequency use environment.

● Glass and Mirror Design:Suitable for modern office buildings and shopping malls to enhance the visual effect.

● Wood Grain and Customized Materials:To enhance the grade and taste of high-end residential.

2.Lighting and Decorative Lighting:

● LED Energy-saving lighting and soft ceiling light design,increasing the sense of space and comfort.

● Optional luxury ceiling and artistic lighting to create a unique spatial atmosphere.

Ⅴ.Installation and After-Sales Service——Ensure Long-Term Operation of the Guarantee

1.Professional Installation Team:

● Elevator installation needs to comply with national safety standards to ensure the precise installation of the shaft,control system and traction system.

2.Daily Maintenance and Repair:

● Maintenance Frequency:Monthly routine maintenance to reduce the failure rate.

● Warranty Period & Extended Warranty Policy:Ensure manufacturers provide reasonable warranty period and extended warranty options.

3.Emergency Repair and Rescue Service:

● Establishes a 24-hour emergency maintenance mechanism to ensure that the elevator can be repaired quickly in case of an emergency.

The choice of elevator is an important part of building function and safety, involving comprehensive consideration of many aspects. According to the use scene, technical parameters, safety performance and budget requirements, choose the right elevator brand and model to ensure the safety, stability and comfort of the elevator in operation, and provide convenience for the building value-added and users.
