Product Overview
Intelligent customization redefines vertical transportation
A small passenger elevator is essentially a compact version of a standard elevator, typically categorized by its lower rated load (e.g., 3-6 person capacity) and smaller car dimensions. These systems are specifically designed to be installed in existing buildings or in new constructions where the available space for the lift shaft is limited. They are commonly used in residential complexes, boutique hotels, small office annexes, and multi-story retail units where traffic flow is moderate.
To achieve the small footprint, many small elevators employ Machine Room Less (MRL) technology, with the drive system and control cabinet housed within the shaft's overhead space, eliminating the need for a dedicated machine room. The design prioritizes space maximization within the car, ensuring that even with reduced dimensions, accessibility requirements for mobility aids are often met. They provide the speed and convenience of a standard elevator but are tailored for environments that demand a minimal structural intrusion.

Product Advantages
Why choose Tenau elevators?
Preservation of Floor Area
The compact shaft design allows for maximum utilization of the building's floor space, a critical factor in urban and commercial real estate.
Aesthetic Integration
Smaller scale and often glass-shaft options enable better visual integration into small lobbies or existing architectural styles without becoming an imposing structure.
Product Features
Innovative technology, superior experience
- Low Headroom Requirement: Advanced MRL designs often require less overhead clearance than traditional machine room elevators, simplifying structural design.
- Rapid Installation: The integration of components within the shaft often streamlines the installation process, reducing overall project time.
- Smooth Ride Quality: Utilizes frequency-controlled drive technology to ensure a comfortable and stable ride, despite the compact size.

Existing Building Modernization
Offers a viable solution for adding vertical access to older structures that cannot support the large shafts of conventional elevators.
Factors To Consider When Choosing Elevator
Comprehensive assessment, wise choice
Technical Factors
- Shaft-to-Car Ratio: Maximizing the usable internal car space relative to the total shaft footprint to ensure efficient use of space.
- System Load: Ensuring the weight and dynamic forces of the MRL system are adequately supported by the building's load-bearing structure.
- Motor Efficiency: Selecting permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) for high efficiency, critical in small MRL installations.
Usage Factors
- User Comfort: Balancing the need for a compact design with ensuring a non-claustrophobic and comfortable passenger experience.
- Code Compliance: Ensuring the smaller car still adheres to all relevant accessibility (ADA/EN) codes for minimum maneuvering space.
- Maintenance Access: Verifying that the MRL component placement allows for straightforward and safe maintenance access without extended shutdowns.
