An office passenger lift in Kotputli-Behror should be planned around the number of people on the upper floors, the height of the building and the space for a shaft. For most office blocks on the NH-48 corridor, a machine-room-less (MRL) traction lift sized for six to thirteen people gives a smooth, quiet and safe daily ride. This guide explains the choice in simple steps.
Kotputli-Behror is one of the new districts of Rajasthan. Towns like Kotputli, Behror, Shahpura and Neemrana are growing fast, with new office buildings, bank branches, clinics, coaching centres and showrooms along the highway. A well-planned lift makes these buildings easier to rent, easier to visit and safer for staff and elders.
Why an office building in Kotputli-Behror needs a well-planned lift
An office lift is used many times a day, often in short peaks: in the morning, at lunch and in the evening. If the lift is too small or too slow, people wait and use the stairs. If it is planned well, the building feels modern and calm.
- Staff and visitors reach upper floors without effort.
- Elders and people with limited mobility get level access without stairs.
- Upper floors become as useful as the ground floor for tenants.
- Files, equipment and deliveries move without carrying on stairs.
The best time to plan the lift is at drawing stage, before the columns and slabs are cast. That is when the shaft, pit and headroom can be set without changing the structure later.
Office passenger lift sizes and options at a glance
The table below shows common choices for office buildings. It is a planning guide, not a fixed rule. Your final size comes from a short traffic check of your own building.
| Building type | Typical floors | Suggested lift | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small office or bank branch | G+2 to G+3 | MRL lift for 6 to 8 people | Compact shaft, no machine room |
| Mid-size office block | G+4 to G+7 | MRL traction lift for 8 to 13 people | Plan a lobby wide enough for queues |
| Office with clinic or diagnostic floor | G+3 to G+6 | Passenger lift plus a stretcher-friendly cabin | Deeper cabin for wheelchairs and stretchers |
| Showroom with offices above | G+2 to G+4 | Panoramic glass or capsule lift at the front | The lift becomes a design feature |
| Larger office campus | G+6 and above | Two lifts in a group | Group control cuts waiting time |
MRL or machine-room lift: which suits your office?
An MRL lift keeps the machine inside the shaft. A machine-room lift keeps it in a room above the shaft, usually on the roof. Both are safe when built to the right standards. The choice depends on your roof, building height and future plans.
| Point | MRL lift | Machine-room lift |
|---|---|---|
| Roof machine room | Not needed | Needed above the shaft |
| Best building height | Low and mid-rise offices | Taller buildings and heavy use |
| Ride feel | Smooth, quiet gearless drive | Smooth, depends on machine type |
| Roof use | Roof stays open for solar panels or a terrace | Part of the roof is used by the machine room |
For most office buildings in Kotputli, Behror and Neemrana, an MRL lift is a sensible, space-saving choice. You can read more in our guide to MRL vs machine-room lifts.
Five steps to plan an office lift
- Count the people. Estimate how many people work on each upper floor and how many visitors come at peak times.
- Fix the shaft position. Place it near the main entrance and the stair, so people find it easily.
- Check pit and headroom. Confirm the depth below the bottom floor and the clear height above the top floor on drawings.
- Choose the cabin and doors. Automatic centre-opening doors move people faster; a deeper cabin helps wheelchairs and trolleys.
- Plan care from day one. Agree inspection visits, a rescue drill for power cuts and a contact for breakdowns.

Safety features every office lift should have
Safety is not an extra. These features should be part of every office passenger lift:
- Automatic rescue device that brings the cabin to the nearest floor during a power cut.
- Door sensors (light curtain) so doors reopen if someone is in the way.
- Overload warning so the lift does not move when too many people enter.
- Emergency alarm and intercom inside the cabin.
- Overspeed governor and safety gear that stop the cabin if it moves too fast.
- Fire-rated landing doors where your building plan needs them.
A design based on IS 14665 and the principles of EN 81-20 and EN 81-50, with installation planned to the National Building Code of India 2016, Part 8, Section 5, gives a clear safety basis. See lift safety systems explained for a simple walk-through.
Lift care for offices in Kotputli-Behror
Highway towns have heat in summer and dust most of the year. Dust settles on door sills and tracks, and heat affects controllers if the shaft is not ventilated. A good care plan includes regular cleaning of door tracks, checks of brakes and ropes, and testing of the rescue device. Dedicated care keeps the ride smooth and the doors quiet for years.

Frequently asked questions
What size passenger lift does an office in Kotputli-Behror need?
Most small and mid-size office buildings here use a lift for six to thirteen people. The right size depends on how many people work on the upper floors, how many floors there are and whether visitors arrive at the same time. A short traffic study at design stage settles it.
Is an MRL lift good for an office building?
Yes. A machine-room-less (MRL) lift keeps the machine inside the shaft, so no roof machine room is needed. It suits G+3 to G+7 office buildings well and gives a smooth, quiet ride with precise levelling.
Which standards should an office passenger lift follow?
Ask for a design based on IS 14665 for electric traction lifts and the safety principles of EN 81-20 and EN 81-50, along with National Building Code of India 2016, Part 8, Section 5 for lift installation planning.
Can a lift be added to an existing office in Behror?
Often yes. A shaft can be added in a stair well, a light well or an outside wall. A structural check of slabs and the pit area comes first.
