Is it possible to install an elevator in any old building?

Inspection of the building structure: The strength and type of the building skeleton (concrete or metal) are evaluated to support the weight of the structure and the elevator equipment.
Identification of potential spaces: Our experts look for dead or usable spaces such as stairwells, skylights, backyards or even part of the building facade.
Inspection Facilities: The route of water pipes, gas and electric cables will be checked so that there is no interference during the installation of the elevator in the old building.
Obtaining the consent of the neighbors: Since this project is considered a joint work, obtaining the legal consent of the majority of the residents (according to the law on ownership of apartments) is a requirement. is.

Where are the best places to install an elevator in a building without a well?

1. Installing an elevator in the space of the stairwell (in the middle of the staircase)

Why is this method ideal? It usually requires the least amount of destruction and because it is inside the building, it is protected from adverse weather conditions (rain and humidity). This method costs less than installing an elevator in the facade and causes less disturbance to the neighbors. Challenges: The stairwell space must have the minimum dimensions required to install a standard cabin (at least for 3 or 4 people). In some cases, it may be necessary to move or cut a part of the stairs, which the Safe Climber engineering team will do this with maximum precision.

2. Installing an elevator in the skylight or backyard

Why is this method appropriate? These spaces usually have larger dimensions and provide the possibility of installing an elevator with a higher capacity. By using glass elevators (panoramic), it is possible to prevent the reduction of natural light on the floors and even add to the beauty of the building. Challenges: This method requires access from the units to the elevator, which may require the destruction of a part of the walls of the apartments. Also, the correct insulation of the elevator structure against rain and humidity is particularly important in the Rasht climate.

3. Installing an elevator in the facade of the building

As a final solution, the elevator structure can be exposed in one of the side or back views of the building.

Why is this method an option? When there is no suitable interior space, this is the only way left. This method does not occupy any useful space inside the building.
Challenges: This method is the most complicated and usually the most expensive option. The need for an independent foundation, the implementation of a stainless steel structure resistant to wind and rain, and most importantly, obtaining the necessary permits from the Rasht municipality are among its main challenges. Reliable Mountain Climber Elevator Company has enough experience to guide you in all these administrative and technical steps.

Choosing the right type of elevator for old buildings

Choosing between hydraulic and traction system is another key decision in the installation of an elevator in an old building project.

Hydraulic lift: the smart choice for low-rise buildings

Due to their unique features, hydraulic elevators are often the best option for elevator installation in buildings without wells and low floors (usually up to 4-5 floors) in Rasht.

Key advantages:
Requires less space: This system does not require an engine room on top of the well, and the engine room can be placed at a distance in a place such as a parking lot or warehouse.
Flexibility in design: The hydraulic jack can be placed next to or under the cabin, which is Flexibility makes elevator design easier in confined spaces.
High safety: In the event of a power failure, the elevator will slowly and automatically reach the lowest floor.
Smooth and silent movement: These elevators are ideal for residential buildings where peace is important. are.

Reliable Climbing Company usually recommends the hydraulic system for renovation projects and installation of elevators in old building because of the mentioned advantages.

MRL traction elevator (without engine room)

For old buildings with more floors (over 5 floors), or in situations where the employer is looking for higher speed and lower energy consumption, roomless traction elevators are an excellent alternative.

Key advantages:
Eliminating the engine room: The small and optimal engine of this system is installed inside the elevator shaft and there is no need to allocate a separate room.
Higher speed: They are faster than hydraulic systems.
Energy consumption Optimum: These elevators are more efficient in terms of energy consumption.

The final choice between these two systems is made after a detailed examination of the project conditions by the experts of the Kalema Pemay Elevator Company.
