Introduction
This planning guide is designed to assist architects, contractors, home owners and elevator professionals in
planning for an INFINITY Residential Elevator to meet the requirements of ASME A17.1 Part 5, Section 5.3
and CAN/CSA B44 Part 5, Section 5.3.
We strongly recommend that you contact the code authority having jurisdiction in the area(s) where the
elevator will be installed to become familiar with all the legal requirements governing the installation and use
of elevators in private residences. It is extremely important for you to know and adhere to all regulations
pertaining to the installation and use of elevators.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
This Planning Guide provides nominal dimensions and specifications useful for the initial planning of an
elevator project. Before beginning actual construction be sure to receive application drawings customized
with specifications and dimensions for your specific project.
Elevator configurations and dimensions are in accordance with our interpretation of the standards set forth by
ASME A17.1 Part 5, Section 5.3 and CAN/CSA B44 Part 5, Section 5.3. Please consult Concord Elevator Inc.
or the authorized Concord dealer in your area for more specific information pertaining to your project,
including any discrepancy between referenced standards and those of any local codes or laws.
The dimensions and specifications in this Planning Guide are subject to change (without notice) due to
product enhancements and continually evolving codes and product applications.
Planning for an INFINITY Residential Elevator
1. Determine customer’s intention for use.
2. Determine code requirements of site.
3. Determine installation parameters of site.
4. Use Page 4 and 5 to determine the car type and hoistway size requirements.
5. Use pages 5 to 8 to plan for machine room and electrical requirements.
