Hoistway and pit notes
• A load bearing wall is required to sustain rail reactions (refer to the section “Loads on building”
on the previous page).
• Suggested hoistway pit floor construction consists of an 8” (203 mm) concrete slab poured on
a natural or compacted soil with a minimum allowable bearing pressure of 1.0 KSF.
• The minimum compressive strength of the concrete at 28 days must be no less than 3000 PSI.
#5 reinforcing steel (grade 60) must be placed at the bottom of the slab in two traverse
directions and at a spacing of 12” (305 mm).
• Hoistway pit floor to support a load (including impact) of 5.6 kips (5600 lb/24.9 kN) for Infinity
or 8.22 kips (8220 lb/36.6 kN) for Infinity HD.
• Minimum overhead clearance of 92” (2337 mm) for 80” (2032 mm) cab, 96” (2438 mm) for 84”
cab, and 108” (2743 mm) for 96” cab.
• Minimum pit depth of 8” (203 mm) for Infinity and 12” (305 mm) for Infinity HD.
• Hoistway sizes reflect running and access clearances only. Consult your local AHJ to assure
compliance with local codes.
