Feb’25, Melbourne, Australia – Lift Experts, a leader in the lift installation industry, is offering valuable insights into space requirements when planning to install a lift in your home or commercial building. With lifts becoming an increasingly popular feature for residential and business properties, understanding the spatial requirements is essential to ensuring a seamless installation.
When adding a lift, one of the most common concerns among customers is determining how much space is needed to accommodate the lift without compromising the overall design of their property. Lift Experts explains that the space required for a lift varies based on the type of lift, the number of floors it needs to cover, and the specific building layout.
Key points from Lift Experts include:
• Space for the Lift Shaft: The size of the lift shaft will depend on the lift type and the available space in the building. Typically, for home lifts, the shaft needs to be between 1.5 meters and 2 meters in width.
• Headroom and Pit Depth: Understanding the headroom (space above the lift) and pit depth (space below the lift) is crucial for proper lift operation and installation.
• Accessibility and Ease of Use: Whether for personal or commercial use, ensuring that the lift is easy to access without taking up excessive floor space is key.
“Proper planning and accurate space assessment are essential when installing a lift,” says the PR team of Lift Experts. “We guide our clients through the space planning process, helping them ensure their lift fits perfectly into their home or business, optimising space and functionality.”
Lift Experts works with clients to identify the most efficient and space-saving solutions based on the specifics of their building. Whether it’s a home lift, wheelchair lift, or commercial elevator, Lift Experts ensures that every lift installation is planned to meet both design and functionality requirements.
