Buying an Elevator is a huge investment-
Top 10 Things before you make investment 

Buying an elevator is a huge investment, whether it is residential or commercial. With modern housing codes changing every day, we are constantly required to upgrade to the more suitable and convenient options. An Elevator might be the largest moving object in your residence, or boutique office or a corporate office, and needs utmost care and planning before proceeding with the huge investment . Here are a few things you must know, before buying an elevator, of any kind, for any purpose.

Pre-plan the installation
Installing an Elevator in your already decorated and beautifully designed home will invite a lot of modifications and messy changes. Since an elevator requires a lot of space to move around, it’s better to plan your building accordingly, and not the other way round.

A crisis for space
The elevator cab itself will require a considerable space, and combined with the hoist cable and machines, an elevator becomes the most spacious and bulky machine in the vicinity.


Get your Location inspected
If you plan to refurbish your home with a designer lift sitting petite at the center, you need to get your home inspected by a licensed well qualified Lift Consultant ,  to decide the optimum position and design for your home.

Maintenance
Make sure your supplier provides you with a long-term lucrative maintenance and servicing offer. Your elevator will need regular maintaining, more often than you think, so better to keep help ready at hand.

  
Stick to your need
Analyze your need of buying an elevator properly. Choose the perfect design accordingly. The space required, expense, durability, safety and a lot of other options will depend on the type of elevator you choose.

Right design:
 There are various types and designs of elevators and lifts to choose among. You must make a careful selection so that you are not stuck with fancy hydraulic elevator for your small home or designer office space.


Capacity and longevity
Elevators also differ in capacity and longevity in an obvious manner. An elevator cab designed for 3-4 persons max is way different from one designed for 10-12 people. Everything starting from installation to maintenance or even replacing parts becomes a headache when you are stuck with the wrong kind of elevator.

Must meet safety norms
The elevator you install must come with latest safety features, preferably levers to pull down the lift backwards in an emergency situation, or alarm buttons to stop the lift, etc.


Proprietary designs: 
The agenda of proprietary designs is to sell the products at a considerably low price and hence trap them thereafter. These designs can only be maintained and handled by these individual companies, and also their parts are not easily obtained in the market. It is better to avoid these designs and go for non-proprietary products because a few pennies well spent now can save a lifetime of expenses.

Do not get carried away by whim: 
Do not get carried away by fancy looking delicate elevators that are only good to be looked at. Stick to your basic requirement always.
