Our modular Hoist way is made from 4x4 HSS structural steel. We include the code required overhead space within this structure. We build three hoist ways, an HW-1, HW-2 and HW-3. If you refer to page S3 in our PDF plan set you will see the elevators that fit into each hoist way.

Our most popular size is the HW-2 with a 3500 lb. gurney complaint cab. This is the smallest footprint available for diagonal gurney compliance. There is no hoist beam required as the elevator comes pre-installed within the structure. The hoist way walls come standard with a one-hour fire rating.

We can provide up to a three hour fire rating if required in your project. We use 5/8ths green board on the interior of our hoist way walls. Green board is mold and mildew resistant for moist environments.

We use 5/8ths brown board on the exterior of the hoist way walls. Brown board is ideal for external walls because it has some water resistant properties and can support almost any type of exterior finish. The hoist way and pre-installed elevator can be set in as little as four hours. Once the structure is set the installation is 90% complete. All that is left to complete the Installation is the final adjustment and inspection. This takes another two or three days. Total installation time should be less than one-week.

Modular Elevator Manufacturing builds a modular equipment room that can sit adjacent to the hoist way or up to thirty feet in a remote location. This modular machine room is only designed for exterior applications. If your project requires an interior elevator our elevator and hoist way typically sets during the early stages of the construction phase. This normally occurs before the walls are erected and after the poured foundation.
