light Commercial Construction Steel Elevator Shaft with steel frame
Installation of a traditional elevator can be tedious. "Stick-built" elevators first require a pit to be built and a hoistway constructed, either from wood, steel or concrete block. Elevator components are then brought on-site and assembled in the hoistway.
A modular elevator is a standard commercial elevator installed into a prefabricated structural steel hoistway. The welded steel hoistway structure fully contains the elevator car, rails, controls, and drive system inside. It is sheathed with materials to meet the building requirements. The modular elevator is then trucked to site and lifted by crane and set into place in the elevator pit. Once installed, it functions exactly like a stick-built elevator, and is serviced the same way.
Conventional elevator hoistways, constructed from cinder block, require much greater support. Heavy structures potentially require grade beams and/or caissons, increasing costs and build time.
Most modular elevator systems are self-supporting. The use of tubular structural steel means a lighter structure, which means smaller concrete pits. Not needing to rely on building structure for support also makes them an excellent choice for retrofit projects.
The old way of building an elevator is to build the shaft on a job site vertically, then assemble the numerous components inside the vertical shaft in less than optimal conditions. This dated method requires more time to build and is less safe.
Modular elevators are built under controlled factory conditions to meet strict quality and tolerance standards. This also eliminates the safety issues involved with erecting scaffolding and working outside subject to wind and other elements.
However, the steel elevator shaft can save time and can be installed in any weather. Also it have advantage of is fire-proof, heat/cold-insulation, non-shrinking and enlarge the work size and have little pollutions, we produce and install different kinds of light steel structure buildings which have a good framework. They are safe, easy to install and disassemble, also can be used multiple times without special tools. Special used in warehouse, workshop, temporary office, etc. We have an proffesional designing team and we can produce according to the customers' requirements.
