Bengaluru is a city of vertical growth.

How the drive system changes the lift

Traction lifts use ropes or belts with a counterweight and suit most buildings. Hydraulic lifts push the cabin up and suit shorter travel. Machine-room-less (MRL) lifts place the machine in the shaft to save space. Read hydraulic vs traction vs MRL lifts and how lifts work.

What decides the cost of a lift in Bangalore

  • Number of stops and travel height.
  • Capacity and speed.
  • Door type and cabin finish.
  • Controls and safety features.
  • Shaft condition and civil work.
  • AMC and warranty.

See lift price in Bangalore for a full breakdown.

Planning steps for a new lift

  1. Decide the use and number of users.
  2. Check shaft space with your architect.
  3. Invite lift companies for a site survey.
  4. Compare written quotations.
  5. Plan power, finishes and inspection.
  6. Agree AMC before handover.

Safety and rules

Every lift should have door sensors, overload protection, alarm, intercom, emergency lighting and a rescue method on power failure. Lifts in Karnataka are subject to inspection and licensing. See lift safety features and inspection and licence in Karnataka.

Service and AMC

A lift is only as good as its maintenance. Choose a written AMC with visit frequency, covered parts and response expectations. See lift AMC companies in Bangalore and lift service and AMC.
