How much do you know about the precautions for installing elevators in old buildings?

Old-style houses used to be cheap, but there were no convenient elevators. Young people can go up and down the stairs as exercise, but it is really inconvenient for the elderly to go out. With the introduction of the national support policy for old residential buildings, many people now want to install an elevator for their homes. However, if you want to install an elevator in an old building, in addition to increasing the cost, you also need to pay attention to many safety issues.

Because there are many ways to install elevators in old buildings, in addition to having different load capacities and sizes, there are also great differences in running speeds. Some families want to increase the standards for size and speed, but in fact, this practice does not meet the national standards for building houses at all, especially when the wall structure of old houses is not strong, failure to follow the standard may lead to safety risks.

Usually, if it is an official agency, the selection of elevator installation companies will be carried out in the form of direct bidding, which can guarantee the interests and safety of residents. However, some residents spontaneously organize the installation of elevators in old buildings. At this time, it is necessary to understand the relevant elevator installation standards, and do not choose elevator companies without after-sales service because of the low price. After all, the structure of the old house itself is very complicated, and improper installation of the elevator will only cause structural damage.

If you want to install an elevator in an old building, you must conduct on-site measurements of the entire house. After the design company has designed a complete floor plan and construction drawings, choose a more appropriate installation plan to ensure that it will not affect the lighting of most residents, while also reducing the waste of space. Try to install it while ensuring the original structure, which is not only practical but also safe.
