A machine room adjacent to the hoistway will be required to accommodate the elevator drive and control system for a hydraulic elevator. The LEV, Minivator and Windsor do not require a machine room. The machine room must have a self-closing, self-locking, keyed door and the clearance shown in the diagram.
The best orientation for a machine room is on the same side of the hoistway as the elevators rails. Other orientations are possible, but require allowances for pulling the wire ropes or hydraulic lines around corners.
A machine room may also be located above (in an attic) or below (basement). Likewise, allowances must be made for accommodating wire ropes or hydraulic lines. Consult your local Access Industries elevator contractor for specifics concerning non-standard machine room placement.
