It is recommended to contact Bayern Qatar, the best elevator suppliers in Qatar, to obtain custom types to meet the needs of your project and provide you with an accurate idea of the expected cost.

Explanation of the installation of electric elevators

Installing electric elevators is a process that requires specialized engineers and a trained technical team provided by Bayern Qatar. The following is an overview of the process of installing electric elevators:

• Installation begins with careful study of the site and the technical and mechanical requirements, where the location of the elevator must be determined, including the required space, floor requirements, load and required speed.

• After the study carried out by Bayern, the necessary civil and structural works will be dealt with to secure a solid base for the elevator and create the necessary structure for the elevator’s movement. This includes building the elevator pit in what is called the elevator well or (core) and installing supports and columns to support the elevator structure.

• Electrical cables and wires are extended and connected to the electrical control unit and other parts of the elevator, and in addition, piping work is done to transport hydraulic fluids or other media required to operate the elevator.

• Then comes the stage of installing the internal structure. This stage includes installing the internal structure of the elevator, including the walls, door, ceiling, and floor. These components need careful installation and ensuring compliance with technical and safety standards.

• After the internal structure is installed, other components such as external doors, control switches, lights and ventilation system and other devices required to operate the elevator are installed.

• Once the installation is completed, tests are carried out to ensure the safety and performance of the elevator according to technical standards, after which the elevator is operated and the necessary settings are adjusted for smooth and efficient operation.

How electric elevators work

The way electric elevators work depends on a group of parts and processes that work together to achieve smooth transportation of people or goods between the different floors of the building. The following is an overview of how electric elevators work:

• Electric elevators include a roof and a door at the top floor of the elevator, relying on the door opening and closing automatically at each floor to allow entry and exit of passengers.

• The elevator car, or what is called the cabin, is the place for passengers and goods, and in turn, it provides comfort and safety during the elevator trip. The cabin includes a floor, walls, ceilings, lighting, and ventilation.

• The cabin has internal doors that open and close automatically to enable passengers to enter or exit the elevator, and the cabin doors work with the floor door to ensure safety during movement.

• Electric elevators contain an electrical system that controls the operation of the elevator. An electric motor with a capacity of 20 to 30 horsepower is used to move the crane and the cab smoothly between floors. The motor is then controlled by the electrical control unit in the cab.

• In addition, passenger elevators rely on a crane operated by an electric motor, where the crane is attached to the cabin and metal rope systems or belts to support the cabin load and vertical movement between floors.

• These systems include a set of keys, locks and mechanical communications that operate at a specific time and deal with the operations of opening and closing doors and stopping and launching the crane.

• Safety devices include a set of devices and sensors that monitor the condition of the elevator, sense the presence of people, and control the movement of the elevator to ensure safety.

• All these parts and processes work in precise interaction to achieve a smooth and safe trip inside the elevator. The elevator is operated by moving the crane using the electric motor and opening and closing the doors in a synchronized manner with the arrival and departure of floors.

How much do electric elevators cost in Qatar?

There are many types of electric elevators available on the market that vary in sizes, designs, and prices. We will review some of the common types of electric elevators and talk about price estimates for each type below:

• First, the home elevator. This type of elevator is designed specifically to meet the needs of its users in residential homes. The cost of a home elevator usually ranges between $15,000 to $35,000, and the cost is affected by sizes, specifications, and installation costs.

• Then come commercial elevators. Commercial elevators come in different sizes and capacities to meet the needs of commercial places such as commercial complexes, hotels, and offices. The price of this type of elevator varies based on the load, speed, and other specifications, and the cost usually ranges between $25,000 and $75,000 and more.

• In addition to the other type, which are industrial elevators, these elevators are used in factories, warehouses, and other industrial facilities. The cost varies according to the load and the specific industrial use, and the cost usually ranges between tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars, depending on the specifications and design.

• The last type at Bayern Qatar is the so-called tourist elevators, which are used in hotels and other tourist buildings. They are characterized by luxurious and elegant designs. The cost of tourist elevators may be higher than commercial elevators depending on the unique specifications and custom designs.

How to use electric elevators

Using electric elevators is easy and simple, but there are some general guidelines that Bayern Qatar should note and which must be followed to ensure safety and discipline while using the elevator, including:

• First you should wait at the door and upon reaching the door, wait for the door to open automatically before entering the cab, and never try to force open the door or approach it while it is closed.

• Entering and exiting the elevator must be straight and smooth. You must ensure that you do not drag heavy bags or large objects into the elevator, and do not try to get off the doors as soon as they move.

• After entering the cabin, find the button for the floor you want to go to and press it only once. Avoid pressing the button repeatedly as it may cause the floor sequence to be disrupted.

• One of the most important safety features is that in the event of an emergency or a flight cancellation, the stop and start button can be used to temporarily stop the elevator. However, you must use this button with caution to avoid stopping the elevator at the wrong time or causing delays for other people.

• Also, something that should be noted is that when you reach the desired floor, wait until the door opens automatically before leaving the cab, and do not try to push the doors or exit before they are fully opened.

• In emergency situations such as a power outage or elevator malfunction, use the emergency button located inside the cabin to call the control center or call the caretaker of the property where the elevator is located, and do not attempt to open or close the doors manually or exit the elevator yourself.

• Finally, we note that caution must be exercised while children are in the elevator. Use the interior and exterior doors with caution and make sure that personal items do not obstruct the doors. You should avoid standing near the edges of the elevator or trying to exit the elevator when it is uneven.
