Elevator Fit overview
Residential / Home Elevator
Home elevators run the smallest cab, so depth and the narrow door decide the fit.
Residential / Home Elevator
Typical Measurements
Door opening width
36 in
Cab width
36 in
Cab depth
48 in
Cab height
80 in
Weight capacity
e.g. 750 lb
These are planning defaults. Measure your real opening before buying, moving, or booking delivery.
Fit Notes
- The 36 in door is usually the true bottleneck, not the floor area.
- A long item often must load on an angle to clear the door and corner.
- Cab diagonal beats straight depth, so tilt long pieces in.
