Notes:

MEI can provide Standard pre-engineered sizes as detailed as well as Non-Standard or Custom sizes. Please consult your MEI representative.
See entrance details for sill recess and entrance wall requirements.
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

*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

2,500	29.1
3,000	33.7
3,500	38.0
4,000	42.2

Notes:

Hoistway dimensions based on maximum car speed of 150 FPM. Consult your MEI representative for speeds exceeding 150 FPM.
Total Travel = Maximum travel of 90' – 115'. Based on capacity.
Pit depth and overhead clearance are in accordance with ANSI code requirements. Local codes may vary these requirements. A pit ladder (by others) is required.
ANSI code requires that hoistways of elevators shall be provided with means to prevent the accumulation of smoke and hot gases in case of fire as required by the building code.
A 115 VAC GFI outlet and lights are required in the pit, and separate 115 VAC circuit to the elevator controller (by others).
Hoistway walls must support anchor forces. Forces to be specified by MEI on elevator layout drawing based on specific design conditions.
Pit floor must be adequately reinforced to transmit jack, buffer, and safety setting forces. Forces to be specified by MEI on elevator layout drawing based on specific design conditions.
Only elevator related equipment allowed in hoistway or equipment room.
All elevators require heat/smoke sensors (by others) at each floor and associated elevator machine room with wires returned to elevator control panel in machine room. (Verify with local code.)
Duties shown will meet general demands of most hospitals and institutions. Local codes and governing agencies may require special sizes.
ANSI code requires a locked governor access door at top of hoistway. This door (by others) is maximum size of 24" x 24" and must be accessible within the building or from the roof. The governor access door needs the same fire rating as the hoistway walls
