Elevator Selection by Building Type

Start from the building use: a hotel, warehouse, villa, mall, hospital, or metro station does not need the same elevator answer.

Passenger movement

Apartments, hotels, offices, hospitals, and commercial buildings usually start with passenger elevator planning.

Passenger Elevator TS Series for higher-end project presentation
Passenger Elevator TE Series for standard daily passenger use
Cabin finish and door choices based on building level

Goods and service movement

Factories, warehouses, logistics buildings, and hotel service areas need equipment sized around the goods being moved.

Rated load and car size
Door opening and floor access
Goods type, route, and daily use intensity

Public flow and visible design

Malls, airports, metro stations, hotels, and public buildings often combine escalators, moving walks, observation elevators, and passenger elevators.

Rise height, step width, and traffic flow for escalators
Glass shape and position for observation elevators
Passenger elevator stops and waiting area planning

Common buyer questions

Should I choose by product first or building type first?

Start with building type and movement need, then confirm the product category. This reduces wrong model selection early in the inquiry.
