PASSENGER - Hole Type · Single Jack Under Car · Front Opening
This information is intended for preliminary planning. We have attempted to include the basic data that you will require in your planning efforts. For details about specific or custom installations please contact your local Canton Elevator representative, or contact us directly.

  • Pit depth - 4'-0" min. is standard
  • Hole depth from lower terminal landing is approx. Travel + 6'-0''.
  • Min. clear overhead required (based on 8'-0" high cab):
    For up to 100 FPM = 11'-10".
    For 100 FPM and over = 12'-1".
    If available overhead clearance is less than above, cab height can be reduced accordingly up to code minimum.
  • Speeds available to 200 FPM
 NOTES:
1. Adequate supports for rail fastenings are required at all rail bracket locations (14' maximum spacing). Concrete or block walls (or steel or concrete beams) are recommended for support. Inserts should be furnished in block or brick walls. Blocks must be filled with mortar around inserts to provide rigid support.
2. Pit and overhead clearances shown are in accordance to ANSI code requirements.
3. A pit ladder (by others) is required if pit depth exceeds 36" (Rules 106. 1d).
4. If holes are required: leave (2) 12" square holes in pit floor at location shown to be grouted in by others after jacks are set - or gen. contr. to provide (2) 24" diameter "open" holes of required depth, with concrete pad at bottom to support jack unit mounting plate.
5. Top of hatch must be vented in accordance with building codes.
6. A 110V outlet is required in pit.
7. Hoist beam to be removed by others after elevator installation, if minimum cab clearance is not available.

MACHINE ROOM
An area 5'-6" x 7'-0" x 8'-0" high is usually adequate for single car installation, with 3'-0" wide door opening for access.
Recommended location is adjacent to elevator hoistway at lowest landing; however, it can be remotely located - and at any level - if necessary.
Adequate heating and ventilation to meet code requirements must be provided.
