Introduction
It started over 90 years ago with a passion to help an ailing friend access
his multi-level home. Now, almost a century later, the Inclinator
craftsmanship can be found in more North American homes today than any
other brand. We want to use our heritage of service to enhance each stage
of your building or remodeling experience and to help you create a uniquely
personalized elevator for your home.
Of all the stages, none is quite as exciting as the initial design phase. It’s
where you begin to imagine the possibilities of something that’s uniquely
yours. A home is personalized by the components you choose to fit your
needs.
Our Planning Guide is designed to simplify and assist architects,
contractors, home owners and dealers in planning for a home elevator that
meets or exceeds the requirements of ASME A17.1-2016 and CSA B44-13.
We recommend you contact an authorized dealer in the area where the
elevator will be installed. They will be knowledgeable about local codes
and restrictions. Become familiar with all requirements governing the
installation and use of elevators. It is extremely important for you to know
and adhere to all regulations concerning installation.
This Planning Guide provides nominal dimensions and specifications useful
for the initial planning of an elevator project. Before beginning actual
construction, be sure to contact a local authorized dealer and obtain
approval drawings customized with specifications and dimensions for your
specific project. Call 1-800-343-9007 to find a local dealer or visit our
website, www.inclinator.com. Inclinator hydraulic elevators manufactured
and installed under the proper parameters are warranted for 3 years. We
assume no liability for equipment not installed in compliance with national,
state, and local codes.

Hoistway Layout
The following specs are to be provided by the General Contractor (GC), except as noted,
prior to Elevator Contractor (EC) installing the elevator equipment.
1. Enclosed, plumb and square hoistway with smooth interior surfaces.
Include for fascias or furring of hoistway interior.
2. Doors, frames and door hardware.
3. Finish openings as per elevator contractor’s shop drawings.
4. Jamb boxes shall be flush to finish surface at specified height at each hoistway door.
5. Hoistway door security: All hoistway doors require door locking devices (provided by
Inclinator) as well as a door handle and a latch set. All doors must be swing type (single
hinge). Solid core doors are recommended.
6. Unfinished/Un-installed door: EC may prefer a minimum of one hoistway door and
associated framing be left unfinished to accommodate elevator installation and prevent
possible damage to door/framing. Preferably at the lowest floor.

Hoistway Layout
ADDITIONAL CONFIGURATIONS
There are many additional layout options available. Please contact Inclinator or your local dealer for further
assistance on shaft configurations.
NOTE:
STABILIZER IS MOST COMMONLY PLACED IN MIDDLE OF WALL
OPPOSITE THE RAIL. IF THERE IS AN OPENING ON THAT WALL THE
STABILIZER MAY BE RELOCATED TO WALL ADJACENT TO THE RAIL.
RAIL DETAILS
NOTE:
WHEN STUD AND SHEETROCK CONSTRUCTION IS USED ON THE
GUIDE RAIL SUPPORT WALL 4”x4” STUDDING IS NEEDED BEHIND
THE 2”x12” PLANK.
PN 67210815 Rev E
Alternate Hoistway Construction
The following recommendations are for hoistways constructed of concrete or hollow concrete block.
When mounting to a solid concrete wall or solid filled concrete block use (2) concrete screw anchors with a
minimum ultimate strength in tension of 3000 lbs (i.e. Redhead LDT – Large Diameter Tapcon) per a
mounting bracket.
When mounting to hollow concrete block it is best to use ½” threaded rod and thru-bolt the superstrut
to the wall. ¼” Steel plate should be used on the back side of the wall for additional strength.
Technical
Specifications
1. VERTICAL LOAD FORCES
STATIC = 1,350 LBS
IMPACT = 2,700 LBS.
The following specs are to be provided by the General Contractor (GC), except as noted, prior to Elevator
Contractor (EC) installing the elevator equipment.
2. Pit Requirements:
a. Substantial level pit floor slab to support 4,460 lbs. impact load.
b. Waterproof pit minimum 10” below lowest floor level.
3. Overhead Requirements:
a. If minimum 8’0” OH is not possible, consult Inclinator, or EC, about possible solutions.
5. Stabilizer system requirements: In line studs for stabilizer are to be located opposite rail wall
unless code 1 or 2, see drawings.
6. ASME 17.1 Part 5.3: Hoistway to be constructed in accordance with this code and all local codes. It
is the responsibility of the GC and the EC to comply with all appropriate codes.

Technical Specifications
PN 67210815 Rev E
Machine Room Specifications
1. Permanent 230 volt, single phase, 30 amp dedicated supply and disconnect by others to
operate the elevator.
2. 120 volt lighting supply and disconnect by others.
3. Telephone connection: Code requires a telephone connection. A phone line must be installed
leading to the controller.
4. CPU/Controller and Pump Control should be mounted in a temperature controlled environment
between 400 F to 1200 F (40C to 490C).
5. CPU/Controller and Pump Control should not be exposed to outdoor elements.
6. Machine room area to meet local and national codes.
7. Machine room must be lockable by code.
8. N.E.C. regulations require a minimum of 30”x36” clear unobstructed floor space in front of the
controller. N.E.C regulations also state the floor to ceiling height of the control space should be
6’-6” high.
