Motor Room Options

Motor Room-less: MRLi

MRLi is simply a truly motor room-less lift. The drive system is located within the pit. The controller can be located to suit: either recessed in the landing architrave or lift shaft wall or wall mounted remotely, within 8 metres of the lift well.

The advantage: flexible installation options, reduced building and operating costs combined with improved performance.

The Stannah MRLi has low headroom and a low pit, can be installed for journeys up to 6 stops and, like most of the Stannah lift range, can be supplied structure-supported to alleviate the need to provide a load bearing lift shaft.

• No motor room required
• Manufactured in the UK
• Short delivery
• Opposite and adjacent entrances available
• Reduces building and maintenance costs
• Lower power requirements
• Structure supported model available – removes the need for a load bearing wall
• Fully compliant with EN81-70

Motor Room Cabinet: MRC

MRC means a lift with a motor room cabinet. The drive system and controller are housed in a cabinet that can be remotely located or on an adjacent wall on any landing.

The advantage: a reduction on the lift shaft width and no dedicated lift motor room, saving valuable space in smaller premises and safety for an engineer.

• Space saving; e.g. an 8 person model requires a 1500mm shaft not 1600mm and a lower pit depth
• Short delivery
• Maintenance work on drive and control equipment conducted in safety, outside of lift well
• No excessive loading on shaft - reduces building costs
• No increase in lift well dimensions
• Flexible design
• Opposite and adjacent entrances available on lift car
• Structure supported model available – removes the need for a load bearing wall

Motor Room: MR

MR simply means a separate motor room; for customers with large premises who prefer the traditional arrangement for the housing of the drive system.

The advantage: reduce lift costs and shaft size.
