How to choose the right lift for an apartment building.

Start with floors and traffic

How many floors, how many units per floor, and expected peak usage (move-in day, morning rush) all shape which lift capacity and speed make sense.

Roof space decides the technology

If your building has roof space to spare, a machine-room lift is straightforward. If not, an MRL lift avoids the need for one.

Plan for maintenance from day one

Apartment lifts run constantly. Budgeting for an AMC from the start avoids surprise costs once residents move in and expect the lift to just work.
