STEP 1: Travel Height

The elevator travel distance will help you select the

hydraulic elevator for your project.

Use the chart below to identify the most commonly

selected Otis hydraulic elevators for your specific

travel heights. Colors indicate recommended range

of minimum and maximum travel height.

STEP 2: Elevator Quantity and Size

Determining factors include floor population,

building use or type, as well as national and

local codes.

Stretcher access requirements by many states

include a minimum load capacity of 3,500 lbs. and

side-opening doors.

For additional help in selecting proper size and

number of elevators, refer to Architects Assistant

on Otis.com or contact your local Otis representative.

STEP 3: Hoistway Requirements

Additional hoistway space is required for heavier

reinforcements to rails in seismic zones 2 or greater.

Specific requirements can be determined by

reviewing individual product pages in this guide.

STEP 4: Machine/Control Room Requirements

Hydraulic systems require a separate machine

room at the bottom landing.

Locate machine room adjacent to hoistway at the

bottom landing or remotely.

STEP 5: Car Design and Finishes

Otis provides design and selection flexibility with

car walls, ceiling, lighting, handrails, bumper rails

and fixtures.

General Requirements by Others

Specific requirements for factors such as power,

smoke detectors, entrance-wall construction

and telephones are available in the General

Requirements By Others section of the typical

layout. For more information, consult your Otis

representative.

Standardized Installation

Relying on Otis standardized installation process

helps ensure elevator projects are completed on

schedule and within budget. We also systematically

visit project sites before installation to coordinate

general contractor efforts with our own. Thiscollaborative effort saves time and maintains the

highest standards for safety and quality.

guidelines; and ICC/ANSI-A117.1. Although local codes

may vary, Otis representatives can help ensure that

specific requirements are met.

Double Bottom Cylinder With SealedPVC ProtectionOtis hydraulic systems feature sealed PVC protection

to diminish potential damage by corrosion. The in-

ground cylinders wall and bottom are surrounded

by PVC and sealed at the cylinder head.

Sealed PVC protection permits monitoring of the

space between the cylinder wall and the PVC lining.

Its evacuation port removes much of the unwanted

liquids that may collect between the PVC and cylinder.
