Lift sizes are often described by persons: 6, 8, 10, 13 and so on. The right size depends on the building and its peak traffic, not on a rule of thumb. This guide shows how to think about each size.
Typical uses
| Size | Common use |
|---|---|
| 4 to 6 persons | Small apartment blocks, clinics, homes |
