How Elevator Capacity Affects Building Traffic Flow

Ever noticed how some buildings feel congested around elevators? Often, the problem isn’t the elevator itself—it’s the capacity planning behind it.

The right elevator capacity ensures smooth traffic flow, especially during peak hours.

Here’s what you should consider:

  • Passenger Load: Offices and malls require higher capacity due to continuous footfall.
  • Peak Times: Morning, lunch break, and closing hours create traffic spikes.
  • Speed & Efficiency: A larger cabin paired with the right speed reduces waiting times.

At Talha Elevators, we guide builders and architects in selecting the ideal capacity for their building type, ensuring both comfort and efficiency.
