Common lift questions — plain answers

It depends on flats per core, peak traffic and shaft dimensions. Many NCR societies use 8–13 persons per car; high-rises may need larger cars or multiple lifts. We size from data, not sales pressure.

Practical tipIf the builder gave a small shaft, a bigger car simply won't fit — we'll say so clearly.

Machine-Room-Less lifts put the drive in the shaft or on top of the car — no separate machine room. Popular in new towers to save space. We install and maintain MRL passenger lifts; retrofitting old buildings can be harder.

Practical tipMRL still needs overhead clearance — space above the false ceiling matters.

Sometimes, if shaft or common-area space allows. It needs structural review, civil work and licensing steps. We'll tell you honestly if it's not feasible.

Practical tipStilt parking below can make shaft extension expensive — plan funding with the RWA early.

Written scope, timeline, warranty, AMC response time, local service presence from Vaishali/NCR, and references from similar societies. Compare before the vote — lowest price alone is risky.

Practical tipDelay penalty clauses are rare — a clear written scope protects the RWA more than verbal promises.

Lifts must follow applicable safety rules and periodic inspections for your building class. We provide handover and maintenance records RWAs and auditors expect. Confirm exact requirements for your building type locally.

Practical tipKeep the maintenance register updated — 'where are the papers?' is a common panic during fire audits.
