The tables on this page are taken from the MP catalogue. These are the typical dimensions the manufacturer starts from when it designs a lift for a specific shaft. Shaft dimensions are clear internal dimensions and car dimensions are external; the car height is 2100 mm and the door height is 2000 mm in all series unless stated otherwise. For your building the figures may differ; the final ones are given in the manufacturer's drawing. Series names follow the catalogue; in the configurator and in the manufacturer's newer materials they are written shorter: MP GO, MP Flex, MP Mega.

MP GO Evolution: machine-room-less
The main series for new buildings. The maGO traction machine sits at the top of the shaft, the roping is 2:1, and the controller cabinet is on the top floor or, on request, on another one. The base model in the catalogue is specified for 16 stops and a travel of up to 50 m. The doors are automatic, two-panel side-opening; in the base version the landing doors have a fire resistance class of E120 or EW60.

The shaft in the table is given for a speed of 1.0 m/s; at 1.6 m/s some sizes need 50-100 mm more in width or depth. The manufacturer offers 2.5 m/s for cars for 8-21 persons.
In an existing building this series can also be installed in a shaft with reduced dimensions to EN 81-21: headroom down to 2900 mm, pit down to 695 mm. For the smallest, four-person car the manufacturer checks this option case by case. Cars for up to six persons at a speed of 0.5 m/s run on a single-phase supply.
MP GO Flex and Flex XL: existing buildings
Flex is designed for buildings where there is no shaft or the shaft is non-standard. The traction machine is fixed to the rear or side wall, so a car of the same rated load can be fitted into either a wide, shallow shaft or a narrow, deep one. Roping 1:1, speed 1.0 m/s, up to 16 stops. There can be one entrance, two opposite, two at 90° or three. According to the catalogue, the series allows spaces used by people beneath the shaft.

The minimum pit to EN 81-20/50 is 1024 mm for 320-630 kg cars, 1300 mm for the two smallest and 1350 mm for the two largest. To EN 81-21 it is reduced to 315 mm (up to and including 630 kg) and to 810 mm (800 and 1000 kg). Headroom to EN 81-20/50: 3400 mm for 320-630 kg, 4325 mm for the 180 and 225 kg cars, 3800 mm for 800 and 1000 kg. To EN 81-21, cars up to 630 kg need only 2800 mm without a machine room and 2450 mm with one. Cars up to 450 kg can be powered from a single phase, in which case the speed drops to 0.8 or 0.5 m/s.
Flex XL is made for 320, 375 and 480 kg. It is chosen when a hydraulic lift is being replaced with a gearless one and the car size is to be kept. The smallest shaft here is 1190 × 1360 mm for an 800 × 1100 mm car, with a pit of 1025 mm, or 525 mm to EN 81-21, and a headroom of 3321 mm.
MP GO Mega: 2000-6500 kg
A series for buildings with heavy passenger traffic, primarily shopping centres and hospitals. Up to 2500 kg the roping is 2:1 and the speed 1.0 or 1.6 m/s; from 3000 kg the roping is 4:1 and the speed 1.0 m/s; the three heaviest models, 5500-6500 kg, run at 0.5 m/s. The doors are four-panel centre-opening with a clear opening of 1400 or 1800 mm.

Lifts with a machine room and hydraulic lifts
MP GO C has the same gearless traction machine, but it sits in a machine room above the shaft. The series is chosen for the full replacement of an old lift while keeping the car dimensions. The 630 kg size: a 1100 × 1400 mm car in a 1650 × 1650 mm shaft, pit from 1050 mm, headroom from 3400 mm. MP V differs in having a geared traction machine.
The hydraulic MP H is designed for a travel of 12 to 18 m, depending on the car. For 630 kg this means a 1100 × 1400 mm car in a 1520 × 1650 mm shaft, a 1050 mm pit, 3350 mm headroom and a hydraulic power unit cabinet of 800 × 390 × 1900 mm. MP ARES is intended for buildings without a lift: a 315 mm pit and 2715 mm headroom to EN 81-21.
Hospital lifts
The car of a hospital lift is chosen according to what it will carry. The catalogue names five types: for a stretcher, for a 900 × 2000 mm nursing home bed, for a hospital bed of the same size with an attendant alongside, for a 1000 × 2300 mm bed, and the largest, which also takes medical equipment next to the bed. The table shows the gearless machine-room-less version; hydraulic hospital lifts have a speed of 0.5 m/s and a travel of up to 15 m.
| Load, kg | Persons | What it holds | Doors, mm | Car W × D, mm | Shaft W × D, mm | Pit, mm (1.0 / 1.6 m/s) | Headroom, mm (1.0 / 1.6 m/s) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| 1600 | 21 | 90 cm bed and two attendants | 1300 | 1400 × 2400 | 2400 × 2750 | 1400 / 1500 | 3700 / 3900 |
| 2000 | 26 | 100 cm bed and two attendants | 1300 | 1500 × 2700 | 2450 × 3050 | 1400 / 1500 | 3700 / 3900 |
| 2500 | 33 | 100 cm bed and bedside equipment | 1300 | 1800 × 2700 | 2750 × 3050 | 1400 / 1500 | 3700 / 3900 |
The catalogue offers two finishes for hospital cars: ION-X in satin stainless steel and SKANNER in steel with a white polymer coating. Both have plastic bumper panels, a non-slip floor and a ceiling that shields the lamps from the eyes of a patient lying down.
Freight and vehicle lifts
The GOOD freight lift comes in 1500-6500 kg versions. The car is 1400-2600 mm wide and 2000-4300 mm deep, with four- or six-panel centre-opening doors and a clear opening of 1300-2500 mm. The drive is hydraulic with a speed of 0.2 m/s, gearless (0.5, 1.0 or 1.6 m/s) or geared. An electric forklift can drive into such a car. The CAR vehicle lift is hydraulic, for 3000-4500 kg. Its car depth ranges from 4600 mm for compact vehicles to 6000 mm for limousines, and the door clear opening is 2200-2500 mm.
Full tables for all series are in the MP - LIFTPORTAL catalogue (PDF, 9 MB); cars, doors and operating panels are covered on the "Car finishes and options" page. If you have the shaft dimensions, send them to us: we will select the series and size.
