One of the biggest advantages of an MRL (Machine Room Less) elevator is its ability to fit into compact residential spaces without the need for a separate machine room. This makes it an ideal choice for villas, duplexes, builder floors, and even smaller homes.
In most homes, minimum space required for an MRL elevator ranges between 1 square metre to 1.5 square metres (around 10–16 sq. ft.) for the shaft area. The actual cabin size inside usually varies from 600 mm x 600 mm for a compact lift to 1100 mm x 1400 mm for a wheelchair-friendly car. Your final requirement depends on how many people will use the lift at one time and whether it needs to accommodate a wheelchair.
The minimum overhead clearance is usually around 2500 mm to 2800 mm, while the pit depth can be as little as 100 mm to 300 mm, and in some cases, a pit-less model can also be installed. This is especially helpful when adding a lift to an already-built house.
What makes MRL lifts even more suitable is their flexible installation- these can fit inside staircases, corners, or along an external wall in a glass enclosure. A professional site inspection helps determine the exact dimensions needed for your layout.
MRL elevators are designed to make luxury and convenience possible even in limited spaces. Check a complete guide for residential elevator space requirements.
