Based on car speed of 350 FPM - Cab Height = 8'-0" - And AMSE Code A17.1-2000 - For seismic applications add 2" to hoistway width

* Speeds exceeding 200 FPM require additional overhead and pit depth. Increase the pit depth and overhead by the amount listed below if the speed exceeds 200 fpm. Minimum overhead and pit depth are based on the use of spring buffers for 200 fpm and less. Add 5" to overhead and pit depth if oil buffers are required.
Speed	Overhead	Pit
225 FPM	6"	5"
250 FPM	7"	5"
300 FPM	8"	5"
350 FPM	10"	6"

*To allow for variations in cab designs, an increase in the maximum inside net platform area not exceeding 5%, shall be permitted for the various rated loads.

GENERAL NOTE:

1 lb. = 0.454 kg 1ft² = 9.29 E-2m²

APPROXIMATE CLEAR INSIDE DIMENSIONS OF CAB:

WIDTH = Platform less 4" Returnable Panel, Platform less 3" Laminate

DEPTH =
Single Opening
       With Single Slide or Center Parting Doors
       .......Platform less 9 ½" Laminate, Platform less 10" Returnable Panel
       With Two Speed Doors
       .......Platform less 11" Laminate, Platform less 11 ½" Returnable Panel

Double Opening
With Single Slide or Center Parting Doors
.......Platform less 16 ½" Laminate or Returnable Panel

With Two Speed Doors
....Platform less 19 ½" Laminate or Returnable Panel

Notes:

MEI can provide Standard pre-engineered sizes as detailed as well as Non-Standard or Custom sizes. Please consult your MEI representative.
Adequate supports for rail fastening are required per layout drawing. Inserts must be installed in block or brick walls. Block must be filled with mortar around inserts to provide rigid support. NOTE: per rail force shown on layout drawing.
Wood and steel/frame walls require suitable header support with inserts at each rail bracket location. NOTE: per rail force shown on layout drawing
