Dimensions of the 4-person Elevator Cabin
Constructing an elevator cabin requires precise knowledge and information, indicating the scientific and technical justification behind the construction of this vital transportation means. One of this information is the dimensions and accurate measurement of the elevator shaft. Proper measurement of this shaft is the most crucial step in constructing an elevator cabin; as it determines how well the cabin will align with the shaft and whether the transportation device will function properly or not. In other words, the proportion between the elevator cabin and the elevator shaft can significantly impact its performance and efficiency.
The measurable components in various types of elevators are diverse, but the main dimensions that need to be measured in all elevators include the width and depth of the cabin along with the door threshold. Proper measurement of these components can directly affect the elevator cabin’s capacity and efficiency; based on these dimensions, we can calculate the capacity and number of people that can be transported in it and ensure that the designed cabin conforms to the appropriate dimensions for the elevator shaft.
According to national building regulations, standard dimensions for a four-person elevator cabin with a carrying capacity of 300 kilograms have a width of around 900 millimeters and a depth of around 910 millimeters. The height should also be at least 220 centimeters. However, these dimensions may vary depending on specific conditions and requirements.
If you lack specialized manpower for measuring dimensions, the measurement and engineering team of General Cabin is ready to provide free services to assist you in the installation and construction process of the elevator cabin and ensure its accuracy and reliability.
What motor for a 4-person elevator?
In the world of elevators, the motor is recognized as one of the essential elements that provide the driving force for the elevator. Therefore, choosing the most suitable motor is one of the most important steps in building a quality elevator.
When selecting an elevator motor, two key factors must be considered: speed and capacity. For any type of elevator, the feasibility of using the motor and its performance must first be examined before making a decision. Elevator motors are usually classified into three categories: geared, gearless, and hydraulic, with gearless and geared motors being the most commonly used in Iran.
Among geared motors, brands like Alberto Sassi, Secure, and Montanari are recognized as the most prominent and superior ones. These motors are all manufactured in Italy and are considered some of the best in the world. If your elevator is geared, our recommendation is Ziehl-Abegg and Wittur motors, which are among the best and most efficient options.
How much does a 4-person elevator weigh?
The total weight of an elevator cabin is the sum of the weight of all its components and the weight of the passengers it can carry. This includes the weight of the elevator cabin without decorations, cabin decorations, floor tiles, elevator car, elevator doors, and passengers inside the cabin.
On average, each person weighs about 75 kilograms. For a 4-person elevator cabin, the total weight reaches 300 kilograms.
The weight of a 4-person elevator cabin, including the weight of all components and decorations, is approximately 900 kilograms.
The weight of floor tiles depends on whether they are natural or artificial. Natural stones usually weigh more than artificial stones, averaging around 75 kilograms.
Additionally, the weight of the elevator car is approximately 260 kilograms, and the weight of the elevator door is approximately 90 kilograms. With this information, the total weight of the elevator cabin can be accurately calculated to ensure optimal installation and use.
Price of a 4-person elevator cabin
Several factors affect the price of a 4-person elevator cabin, including the type of elevator (traction or hydraulic). Additionally, capacity and cabin height have a direct impact on the price because increasing them leads to higher costs.
Decorations also affect the price of the cabin. Some special decorations, such as Zahaa elevator cabins, which are produced in a mold and use glass as the main material, or Victoria elevator cabins, which are made of MDF, incur different costs.

Suitable Rails for a 4-Person Elevator
In elevator engineering, metal components with a T-shaped profile are used to guide the cabin or counterweight. These components, known as cabin rails and counterweight rails, play a crucial role in the elevator’s performance.
Rails have fundamental duties in elevators, including guiding the cabin and counterweight in vertical movement, reducing horizontal movement, resisting cabin oscillations caused by forces outside the center, and stopping the cabin in case the safety mechanism is activated.
The cabin and counterweight frame are connected to the elevator rail via shoes. These rails are automatically lubricated along the travel path to ensure better performance. Lugs and brackets are used to securely attach the rails to the elevator shaft’s body.
Typically, T70-size cabin rails and T50-size counterweight rails are used in 4-person elevators. However, due to the smaller capacity and relatively smaller dimensions of the cabin, there is no need for larger rails. Nevertheless, some prefer to use T90-size cabin rails and T50-size counterweight rails.
Lighting Level
Interior lighting in elevator cabins is a prominent aspect that significantly influences passengers’ attention and creates a positive atmosphere for them. This element is also crucial for safety and preventing potential accidents.
When designing lighting inside elevator cabins, factors such as ceiling height and the elevator’s continuous movement must be considered. Proper methods and tools should be used to provide suitable lighting inside the elevator cabin that matches its specific dimensions and conditions.
The use of LED, SMD, and halogen lights are primary methods for providing illumination inside the elevator cabin. The choice between these types of lighting depends on the type of decorations and interior design of each cabin. For example, LED lights are commonly used in linear lighting decorations, while halogen lights are used in point lighting decorations.
According to standards, permanent lighting inside elevator cabins, including the illumination of push buttons and door fronts, should be at least 50 lux. In the active state when a passenger enters the cabin and the cabin is in motion, the internal cabin lighting should reach 150 to 200 lux, which also enhances the elevator cabin’s appearance.
