831 BEACH AVE RES23-0016 Elevator Specs (1)Elevating your standard of living
ATTENTION FRAMERS:
This home is receiving a home elevator which will require structural
support for the elevator rail system and loads built into the framing of
this elevator shaft.
Attached are two detailed drawings showing the layout and material
needed to support this load.
For this project the Rail Support Wall is located on the:
Right Hand Wall Left Hand Wall Rear Wall
(Always orient the rail wall from the lowest level served by elevator)
If you have any questions or comments,
you can call me, ___________________ at _______________
Thank you.
I have stapled this document to the wall that will require the

Residential Elevators manufactures and installs a fully code compliant elevator per the ASME ANSI A17.1
National Safety Code for Elevators - Section 5.3 Private Residence Elevators as modified by various states.
ASME 5.3.1.7.2 of the above referenced code Clearance Between Hoistway Doors or Gates and Landing Sills and
Car Doors or Gates and 2016 Supplement “Code Fixes” to Florida Building Code Section R321.4 Clearance
Requirements between elevator doors for elevators inside a private residence state: The clearance between the
hoistway doors or gates and the hoistway edge of the landing sill shall not exceed 3/4 inches. The distance
between the hoistway face of the landing door or gate and the car door or gate shall not exceed 4 inches.
Note: Concrete block / masonry shafts and some commercial metal door
frames can often create Rule violations.
Note: An out of plumb shaft will greatly affect running clearances
and exacerbate the Code Compliance Issues. Hoistway doors
MUST be plumb to each other from floor to floor.
This is a code requirement in . Residential Elevators takes pride in ensuring safety Florida
in the use of their equipment and as a policy wants to make sure all Builders, Architects,
Developers, Owners / Users are aware of and adhere to this Code requirement.
This is a safety issue.
