Designed Around Your Building
Every building has different traffic, space, and operational requirements. Instead of using one standard specification for every project, Unity Express helps determine a practical passenger elevator configuration based on how the building will actually be used.
Passenger Capacity
Select an appropriate load and cabin size based on expected users and building traffic.
Number of Floors
Travel height and number of stops affect elevator speed, equipment configuration, and overall system requirements.
Shaft & Building Space
We review available shaft dimensions, pit depth, overhead clearance, and machine-room requirements.
Flexible Shaft & Cabin Configuration
Passenger elevator dimensions can be configured around an existing shaft size or planned based on a desired shaft dimension for a new building, subject to technical and safety requirements.
Traffic Requirements
Office buildings, condominiums, hotels, and commercial properties can have very different peak-hour passenger demand.
Cabin Design & Finishes
Choose practical or premium finishes depending on the building type, design requirements, and budget.
Project Budget
We help avoid unnecessary specifications while maintaining the performance and reliability required for the project.

Passenger Elevator FAQs
Planning a passenger elevator for your building?
Find answers to common questions about elevator capacity, speed, shaft requirements, installation, customization, pricing, maintenance, and choosing the right passenger elevator for your project.
1. What is a passenger elevator?
A passenger elevator is designed to transport people safely and efficiently between floors. It is commonly used in condominiums, offices, hotels, commercial buildings, schools, hospitals, and mixed-use developments.
2. What passenger elevator capacity do I need?
The required capacity depends on the building type, number of occupants, expected passenger traffic, number of floors, and peak-hour demand. Unity Express can help determine an appropriate capacity based on your project requirements.
3. How many people can a passenger elevator carry?
This depends on the elevator's rated load and cabin size. Passenger elevators are available in different capacities, from smaller systems for low-traffic buildings to larger elevators for busy commercial and residential developments.
4. What elevator speed is suitable for my building?
The appropriate speed depends mainly on the number of floors, travel height, passenger traffic, and expected waiting time. Low-rise buildings generally require lower speeds, while taller or higher-traffic buildings may benefit from faster elevators.
5. Can a passenger elevator be installed in an existing building?
Yes, in many cases. The building must first be evaluated for available shaft space, structural conditions, pit depth, overhead clearance, electrical requirements, and access for installation.
6. What shaft size is required?
Shaft dimensions depend on the selected elevator capacity, cabin size, door configuration, and equipment type. The required dimensions should be confirmed through technical evaluation and the manufacturer's specifications.
7. What is an MRL passenger elevator?
MRL means Machine-Room-Less. An MRL elevator places the main lifting equipment within the elevator shaft, reducing or eliminating the need for a separate machine room. This can help save building space, depending on the project configuration.
8. Can the elevator cabin design be customized?
Yes. Depending on the selected model, cabin finishes, wall materials, flooring, lighting, ceiling design, handrails, control panels, and door finishes can be customized to suit the building's design and budget.
9. How much does a passenger elevator cost in the Philippines?
The cost depends on factors such as capacity, number of floors, travel height, speed, cabin finishes, door configuration, shaft conditions, installation requirements, and selected equipment. A project assessment is recommended before providing a final quotation.
10. Does Unity Express install and maintain passenger elevators in the Philippines?
Yes. Unity Express provides passenger elevator supply, installation, testing, commissioning, preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, repair, modernization, and after-sales technical support in the Philippines.
11. Can the passenger elevator size be customized to fit an existing shaft?
Yes. Unity Express can configure passenger elevator dimensions based on the client’s existing shaft size or desired shaft dimensions for a new project, subject to technical requirements.
