An elevator shaft is a vertical passage in a building for elevators to run up and down. Elevator shaft parts mainly include elevator guide rails, elevator guide rail accessories, elevator traveling cables and elevator compensation chains. Most of elevator shaft parts are wearing parts and need to be replaced regularly.

The elevator shaft is one of the key parts of elevator operation. If there is no elevator shaft, the elevator will have no place to run. Traditional elevator shafts such as lift compensation chain are made of concrete, and the building developers will pre-design the shafts according to the dimensions of the shafts of the mainstream elevator manufacturers in the market, and build the elevator shafts at the same time as the building is constructed. For some old buildings without elevator shafts, the current conventional practice is to use steel structures to build elevator shafts outside the buildings, so that people in these old buildings can also enjoy the convenience of elevators.
The size of a commercial elevator shaft will depend on the type of building and its purpose. Generally speaking, the shaft requirements of residential elevators are relatively small, while the freight elevators require larger shaft size.
Well size depends on many factors, including:
The larger the load of the elevator, the larger the car, so it requires more shaft space.
With the increase of high-rise buildings, the speed of elevators is also getting faster and faster. High-speed elevators also increase the requirements for the height of elevator machine and the depth of the pit.
Standard elevators generally have only one car door, but some special places such as hospitals have two or more car doors. This also requires more shaft space.
According to the different elevator standards of various countries, there are also different requirements for the size of the elevator shaft.
