800 kg / 10 Person Passenger Lift
A practical passenger-lift capacity for apartment, office, commercial and other multi-storey projects where the building needs more cabin capacity than a smaller passenger lift can provide.
An 800 kg 10 person passenger lift can be considered where expected passenger traffic calls for more usable capacity than smaller lift classes. The final cabin, shaft, door, speed, stops and drive arrangement must be selected for the actual building rather than assumed from the 800 kg rating alone.
Where does a 10-person lift make sense?
Capacity should match the people who will use the building, not simply the number of floors. An apartment building has a different traffic pattern from an office or busy commercial property.
An 800 kg passenger lift gives a project team another option when a smaller cabin may be too restrictive for expected daily use. The right choice still depends on passenger demand, available shaft space, travel, entrances and the complete lift configuration.
- Apartment and residential developments
- Office and mixed-use buildings
- Hotels and other guest-use properties
- Commercial buildings with regular passenger movement
800 kg is only one part of the lift decision
The rated load helps define the capacity class, but it does not provide a complete building specification. Passenger demand, cabin arrangement, door opening, travel height, number of stops and available shaft space all affect the final selection.
This matters in Bangladesh projects where the structural opening may already exist before the elevator specification is final. Confirming the site conditions early can reduce redesign later.
Six items that need project confirmation
There is no single shaft dimension, speed or door size that should be assumed for every 800 kg passenger elevator. These points should be checked against the building and the actual lift configuration.
Number of stops
Confirm every landing the lift needs to serve and the required entrance arrangement at those floors.
Shaft condition
Check the clear hoistway dimensions and structural condition before treating a lift model as suitable.
Pit and overhead
Required clearances depend on the selected elevator design. They should be coordinated before civil work is closed.
Door arrangement
Door type, opening and landing configuration affect both passenger movement and the space required around the shaft.
Travel and speed
Building height, traffic demand and the selected elevator system should guide the speed requirement.
Electrical provision
Power requirements must be confirmed from the final equipment specification and coordinated with the building electrical work.
Check the building before locking the specification
A lift quotation becomes more useful when it is based on real project information. Existing buildings may need an on-site check, while new projects can coordinate lift requirements with the architect and structural team before construction advances.
Review the building
Confirm building use, floor count, stops, travel and expected passenger demand.
Check the shaft
Record the available shaft, pit, overhead and landing opening conditions.
Select the configuration
Match the capacity, drive, doors, controls and cabin requirements to the project.
Coordinate installation
Civil, electrical and lift work should follow the confirmed project drawings and equipment requirements.
What affects the price of a 10 person passenger lift?
There is no useful single price for every 800 kg lift project. Two buildings asking for the same rated capacity can require different equipment, installation work and finishes.
Is 800 kg the right capacity for your building?
It may be suitable if your expected passenger demand and available building space justify this capacity class. But choosing between an 8-person, 10-person or larger passenger lift should be based on building use and traffic, not simply on choosing the largest cabin that fits.
If you are still comparing capacities, use the passenger lift capacity guide before requesting the final equipment specification.
800 kg passenger lift FAQs
Short answers to the points buyers commonly need to clarify before asking for a quotation.
Is an 800 kg lift the same as a 10 person passenger lift?
800 kg is commonly associated with a nominal 10-person passenger capacity. The actual elevator must still be selected and documented according to its manufacturer and project specification.
What shaft size is needed for an 800 kg passenger lift?
Do not assume one universal shaft size. Required dimensions depend on the selected lift system, cabin, doors, layout and project conditions. Confirm them from the final technical arrangement before construction.
How much does a 10 person lift cost in Bangladesh?
The project price depends on factors such as stops, travel, speed, equipment configuration, cabin finish, doors, shaft condition, installation and imported component costs. A project quotation is more reliable than a generic fixed figure.
Can an 800 kg lift be used in an apartment building?
It can be considered for apartment projects where the expected traffic and building design support this capacity. The project team should still assess passenger demand, shaft space and the full lift specification.
What information should I send for a quotation?
Start with the project location, building type, number of floors and stops, available shaft dimensions or drawings, and any known door, cabin or performance requirements. A site assessment may be useful when the existing conditions are uncertain.
Planning an 800 kg passenger lift for your building?
Share the building type, floors, stops and available shaft information. The technical requirements can then be reviewed before the lift configuration and quotation are finalised.
