Check elevator clearance for any item by entering cab and door dimensions.
This calculator helps you determine if furniture and appliances will fit in residential and commercial elevators. We cover standard passenger elevators, freight elevators, and service elevators—accounting for door opening width, cab depth, ceiling height, and weight limits.

Typical residential elevator cabs are about 80 inches tall, 54 inches wide, and 80 inches deep, but sizes vary widely by building. Always measure your specific elevator rather than relying on estimates.
Many apartment and office buildings have a larger service or freight elevator. Contact building management to ask — freight elevators are often significantly bigger and may be required for moving.
You can tilt the item diagonally inside the cab. For example, a 96-inch item can fit in an 80-inch-tall cab if tilted at an angle, as long as the cab depth and width allow it.
Many buildings require elevator padding during moves to prevent damage to the cab interior. Check with management before moving day — some provide padding, others require you to bring your own.
Yes — the hallway width and any turns between the elevator and your door are just as important. A tight hallway corner can be harder to navigate than the elevator itself.
