94\,\text{in} \;>\; 68\,\text{in} \;\Longrightarrow\; \Delta = -26\,\text{in}

Plain English: Along the cab width, the item is 94 in and the space allows 68 in — over by 26 in.

33\,\text{in} \;\le\; 52\,\text{in} \;\Longrightarrow\; \Delta = +19\,\text{in}

Plain English: Along the cab depth, the item is 33 in and the space allows 52 in — 19 in to spare.

EAxis inequality · cab height✓ PASS

↓ SUBSTITUTE

16 \;\overset{?}{\le}\; 52\quad(\text{cab height})

↓ EVALUATE

16\,\text{in} \;\le\; 52\,\text{in} \;\Longrightarrow\; \Delta = +36\,\text{in}

Plain English: Along the cab height, the item is 16 in and the space allows 52 in — 36 in to spare.

FDiagonal clearance · Pythagorean✕ FAIL

\sqrt{a^2 + b^2} \;\le\; \sqrt{a_{\text{sp}}^2 + b_{\text{sp}}^2}

\sqrt{94^2 + 16^2} \;\overset{?}{\le}\; \sqrt{36^2 + 80^2}

↓ EVALUATE

95.4\,\text{in} \;>\; 87.7\,\text{in} \;\Longrightarrow\; \Delta = -7.6\,\text{in}

Plain English: Even tilted corner-to-corner the face spans 95.4 in, past the opening's 87.7 in diagonal — angling it doesn't recover the fit.

G3D space diagonal✕ FAIL

\mathcal{D}_{3D} = \sqrt{L^2 + W^2 + H^2}

↓ SUBSTITUTE

\sqrt{33^2 + 94^2 + 16^2}

100.9\,\text{in} \;>\; 87.7\,\text{in} \;\Longrightarrow\; \Delta = -13.2\,\text{in}

Plain English: Corner to corner the item reaches 100.9 in — keep that swing room in mind for the turn after.

HMinimum required space · cab width✕ FAIL

d_{\text{req}} = d_{\text{item}} + t

↓ SUBSTITUTE

94 + 0 = 94

Plain English: Smallest space on the limiting axis that would admit this item (with handling tolerance).

ILargest item that fits · cab width✕ FAIL

d_{\max} = d_{\text{space}} - t

↓ SUBSTITUTE

68 - 0 = 68

Plain English: Largest item dimension this space admits on the limiting axis (after handling tolerance).

How the elevator-cab check works

An elevator gate is a 2D opening (cab door) followed by a 3D box (cab interior); items must enter the door AND fit inside the cab.

Generate the 6 item permutations and test each against the elevator door opening (width × height).
For permutations that enter, test against the cab footprint (depth × width) once inside.
If the item is longer than the cab depth, check whether it fits rotated diagonally across the cab.
Subtract 1.5 in handling clearance on each axis for movers loading and pivoting the item.
Verdict ladder (verdict-tiers.js, shared with door): FITS ≥ 2 in; FITS_TIGHT 0.5–2 in; FITS_VERY_TIGHT 0–0.5 in; DOESN'T_FIT below.

Cab dimensions come from the building’s posted load plate; rotation diagonally fits longer items than the cab depth alone.
