Floor Area: The areas of the floors served by the elevator.
Floor Cycle Time: The time taken by an elevator to travel between two
adjacent floors including door opening and closing times.
Guide Rail Fixing Positions: Fixing positions of the guide rails to the
structure below.
Guide Rail Support Centres: The centres of the guides.
Guide Rail Support Loads: The load imposed by the movement of
cables within the guides that must be resisted by the structure.
Hoistway Depth: The horizontal distance between the inner surfaces of
the hoistway walls measured parallel to the car depth.
Hoistway Finishes: The finish applied to the hoistway walls.
Hoistway Height: The vertical distance from the lower bounding surface
of the hoistway to the upper bounding surface.
Hoistway Width: The horizontal distance between the inner surfaces of
the hoistway walls measured parallel to the car width. Width may be
single, double, triple etc.
Landing Clearance: The horizontal distance between the elevator car
and the landing sill.
Landing Fixtures: Fixtures typically placed on an elevator landing such
as push buttons, position and direction indicators, and hall lanterns.
Lifting Beam Load: The load that must be borne by the lifting beam.
Lifting Beam Position: The position of the lifting beam.
Lifting Beam Size: The size of the lifting beam.
Machine Room Depth: The horizontal dimension of the machine room
measured parallel to the car depth.
Machine Room Headroom: The vertical distance between the lower
bounding surface of the machine room and the underside of the lifting
beam.
Machine Room Height: The vertical distance between the finished
machine room floor above the well and the machine room ceiling
including any lifting beam height.
Machine Room Position: The location of the machine room.
Machine Room Width: The horizontal dimension of the machine room
measured parallel to the car width.
