Technical guides, industry insights and expert advice on elevator systems
Pit depth is not a number the manufacturer picks. It follows from buffer stroke, the 0.50 m clearance under the car, the refuge volume a technician must fit into, and guide-rail overrun. This guide sets out what EN 81-20 requires, what changed from EN 81-1, and what to do when the building cannot give you the depth.

Learn how to assess their value for real building projects and prepare a practical elevator specification with Nazar Elevator, a Turkish manufacturer established in 2002.
Read more →Behind every normal elevator journey, a safety circuit checks essential conditions for movement. Discover how door locks, protective switches, brake monitoring and certified electronics help prevent hazardous operation, and why correct installation and maintenance remain essential.
Read more →A complete lift system is not a standard product but an engineered package. Here is what actually determines its cost, and how to compare supplier quotations.
Read more →For an importer in Lagos, Amman, Tashkent or Bogotá, the question is not whether European lifts are good. It is whether the European proposition — its price base, lead times, minimum volumes and service model — fits the market being served. For a large share of projects outside Western Europe, it does not, and Turkish supply does. Here is the case, with its limits stated.
Read more →Most lift traffic problems are not equipment failures. They are design assumptions that looked reasonable on paper and stopped being true once the building filled up. These seven mistakes share one property: the calculation passes, and the complaints start anyway.
Read more →Elevator traffic design comes down to two numbers: how many people the group can move in five minutes, and how long a passenger waits between cars. This guide derives both from first principles and works through a complete 10-storey office example, including the case where capacity passes but interval fails.
Read more →When sourcing elevators for export projects, two manufacturing origins dominate the shortlist: Turkey and China. This guide offers an honest, technical comparison covering compliance, quality, lead times and lifecycle cost — so importers can make better-sourcing decisions.
Read more →A Konya elevator manufacturer answering the questions buyers actually ask: how much can you build, how fast can you ship it, what is it certified to, and what do you need from me to quote. With figures rather than adjectives.
