Slim Design, Powerful Performance
1. Elevator Load Classifications
Elevator load capacity is a core factor in determining its design, size, and application. Globally, and in the UAE, load standards follow a classification system tailored to the specific use case.
Common Classifications Include:
- Standard Passenger Elevators: 630kg, 800kg, 1000kg, 1250kg
- Large Passenger or Freight Elevators: 1600kg to 3000kg+
- Home Elevators: 250kg, 320kg, 400kg (with 400kg being the national upper limit)
As elevator suppliers in Dubai, Deneb Elevators adheres strictly to these classifications, ensuring all solutions meet rigorous safety and performance standards.
2. Load vs. Number of People: The Conversion Standard
According to the GB/T7025.1-2023 standard (aligned with ISO8100-30:2019), the relationship between load and number of persons is calculated based on 75kg per person. Here’s a quick breakdown:
Load (kg) | Persons | Car Size (mm) |
630kg | 8 | 1100 × 1400 |
800kg | 10 | 1350 × 1400 |
1000kg | 13 | 1600 × 1400 |
1250kg | 16 | 1900 × 1500 |
Car area:
- 0–1.3 m² per person for 630kg and 800kg elevators
- 3–1.7 m² per person for 1000kg and above
3. Special Provisions for Elevator Types
Home Elevators:
- Load limit: 400kg
- Speed: Max 0.4 m/s (no door: max 0.3 m/s)
- Passenger capacity:
- 250kg: 2–3 persons
- 320kg: 3–4 persons
- 400kg: 4–5 persons
Construction Elevators:
- Load: Up to 2000kg
- Typically accommodates 8 workers with standard safety equipment
Residential Elevators by Floor Height:
- 1–9 floors: 900kg, 1.0 m/s
- 10–18 floors: 900kg, 1.5 m/s
- 19–34 floors: 900kg, 1.75 m/s
- 35–45 floors: 1050kg, 2.5 m/s

A Perfect Example: 800kg (10-person) elevator
- Car size: 1350 × 1400 mm

- With machine room: 1900 × 2100 mm
- Without machine room: 2000 × 1900 mm
5. Important User Guidelines
To maintain safety and longevity of the elevator system:

- Avoid carrying oversized items that may cause jamming
- Choose elevators as per building type—passenger, freight, or residential
- High-rise elevators require greater load and speed capacities
