450–480 kg / 6 Person Passenger Lift in Bangladesh
A practical passenger-lift capacity for projects that need everyday vertical transport without moving into a larger cabin category. Final dimensions, stops, speed, doors and equipment should be selected around the actual building.
A 6 person passenger lift can suit smaller apartment, office and similar buildings where expected traffic is moderate. Capacity alone is not enough to select the lift: stops, shaft space, door arrangement, travel, power, expected traffic and the selected lift system also need to be checked.
What does 450–480 kg mean for a six-person lift?
In the Bangladesh market, six-person passenger lifts are commonly discussed in the 450–480 kg capacity range. The exact rated load belongs to the selected model and manufacturer, so the final quotation should identify it clearly.
Do not select a lift only because the brochure says “6 person.” Two lifts sold under the same passenger-count description can have different cabin dimensions, shaft requirements, door sizes, drive arrangements and building-work requirements.
- Confirm the rated load stated for the exact offered model.
- Match capacity to expected building traffic, not only floor count.
- Check cabin and entrance dimensions against actual user needs.
- Confirm shaft, pit and overhead requirements before civil work is finalized.
- Compare quotations on complete specifications, not capacity alone.
The cabin has to work after the specification sheet is forgotten
A passenger lift is used every day, so cabin planning should cover more than decorative stainless steel. Entrance clearance, lighting, controls, floor finish and usable cabin space all affect the experience.
Cabin size and shaft size are related, but they are not the same
Buyers often ask for a single “6 person lift size.” That number can be misleading because the required lift well depends on the selected system, counterweight arrangement, doors, clearances and manufacturer design.
The safer approach is to share measured site dimensions and obtain the project drawing for the exact lift being quoted.
Usable internal space. Request the exact width and depth for the offered model.
The building opening around the lift equipment. It must be coordinated with the chosen system.
Required depth can vary by lift design. Do not construct from an unrelated sample drawing.
Top-of-shaft clearance is another model-specific item that should be confirmed before structural work.
Door width, height, opening type and landing arrangement should be stated on the project drawing.
Is a 6 person passenger lift suitable for your building?
This capacity can be considered where passenger demand is moderate, but building type alone does not determine suitability. A busy building may need a different capacity or more than one lift even if the number of floors appears modest.
Information that should be confirmed for the project
A useful quotation needs more than “six person lift.” Give the supplier enough building information to prepare an equipment offer that can actually be coordinated with the site.
If construction is still at drawing stage, lift planning should be coordinated before the shaft and related structural work become difficult to change.
| Rated capacity | Confirm whether the offered model is rated at 450 kg, 480 kg or another stated load. |
|---|---|
| Floors & stops | State every level to be served and whether entrances are on the same or different sides. |
| Available shaft | Provide measured clear width and depth rather than an approximate room size. |
| Pit & overhead | Confirm these from the selected lift's project drawing before construction. |
| Door configuration | Check opening arrangement, clear entrance and landing-door requirements. |
| Power | Confirm the electrical supply and dedicated requirements specified for the selected equipment. |
| Traffic | Consider occupants, visitors and peak periods to judge whether six-person capacity is appropriate. |
| Finish | Identify the preferred cabin, ceiling, flooring and landing-door finish before comparing final prices. |
Site coordination matters as much as equipment selection
Confirm location, building use, floors, stops and expected passenger demand.
Check shaft dimensions, access, structural condition and electrical preparation.
Agree the exact capacity, lift arrangement, doors, controls and finishes.
Coordinate civil and electrical work from approved project information.
Equipment installation is followed by adjustment, testing and project handover procedures.
What affects a 6 person lift price in Bangladesh?
Current market advertisements show that lifts described as six-person units are offered with different brands, specifications, stops and equipment packages. A headline price therefore does not tell you enough to compare two quotations properly.
A useful comparison puts two quotations side by side using the same capacity, stops, doors, cabin finish, technical scope and installation assumptions.
Send these details before asking for price
Better project information reduces guesswork and makes it easier to compare the resulting lift offer.
- Project location in Bangladesh
- Building type and intended use
- Total floors and required stops
- Existing or proposed shaft dimensions
- Pit and overhead information if available
- Preferred 450 kg or 480 kg capacity, if already decided
- Door opening arrangement
- Cabin finish preference
- Construction status
- Architectural or structural drawings if available
Questions about 6 person passenger lifts
Is a 6 person passenger lift 450 kg or 480 kg?
Both descriptions appear in the Bangladesh market. The rated load should be confirmed from the exact model and technical offer rather than assumed from the phrase “6 person lift.”
What is the standard shaft size for a 6 person lift?
There is no single shaft dimension that should be copied into every project. Lift well requirements depend on the selected manufacturer, cabin arrangement, doors, drive system and required clearances. Use the approved project drawing for the specific lift.
How much does a 6 person lift cost in Bangladesh?
Advertised market prices vary considerably because the offers are not identical. Capacity, stops, technical configuration, cabin finish, doors, site condition and installation scope can all affect the final quotation. Compare complete specifications rather than one advertised number.
Is six-person capacity enough for an apartment building?
It can be suitable for some projects, but floor count alone cannot answer the question. Occupancy, peak traffic, expected waiting time and building use should be considered before capacity is finalized.
Should the lift be selected before the shaft is built?
Early coordination is preferable. Once a specific lift arrangement is selected, its shaft, pit, overhead, door and electrical requirements can be coordinated with the building design instead of trying to fit equipment into unsuitable completed work.
Planning a 450–480 kg six-person passenger lift?
Send the project location, building type, floors/stops and available shaft information. A quotation can then be prepared around the project requirements instead of a generic lift package.
