What a finish kit contains
| Component | Typical options | Coordination point |
|---|---|---|
| Wall panels | Brushed / mirror / etched stainless, wood veneer, laminate, glass | Panel joints, fixing method, car internal dimensions |
| Handrail | Stainless tube, flat bar, wood-capped | Height, bracket positions, load requirement |
| Flooring | PVC, stone, marble, composite, carpet inset | Weight budget, thickness, threshold level |
| Ceiling | LED panel, indirect light, designer diffuser | Electrical load, access for emergency hatch |
| Mirror / skirting | Full or partial mirror, stainless skirting / kick plate | Glass safety specification, fixing detail |
| Fixtures | COP, landing indicator, button finish, voice/display language | Language, braille, accessibility requirements |
Skirting (踢脚线 / skirting board / baseboard) is the trim at the base of the cabin wall. In export documentation we use "cabin skirting" or "kick plate" to avoid confusion with architectural floor skirting.
Identifying crates when several elevators ship together
A single container may carry two or more complete elevators plus their interior kits. If crates are only numbered, the installation team can spend days matching panels to the right unit. We use a four-layer identification rule:
- Unit code — each elevator gets a project unit code (for example U01, U02) printed on every crate.
- Colour — a colour band per unit, visible in photos and from a distance in the container yard.
- Shape / symbol — a simple geometric symbol per unit, so identification survives faded tape or poor lighting.
- Crate number & contents — sequential crate number plus a short contents code tied to the packing list.
The same unit code appears on the finish schedule, the GA drawing set, the test record and the packing list. A site photo can then be matched to a unit without opening the crate.
Refurbishment projects
For an existing elevator, a cabin interior kit can be supplied without replacing the machine. The critical checks are the existing car's internal dimensions, the fixing method, and — most importantly — the added weight. Heavy stone flooring or thick panelling changes the car's dead weight and must be evaluated against the original machine's balance and safety components before anything is ordered.
How to specify a finish
- Send the cabin internal dimensions and the number of units.
- Attach the interior design reference or material sample codes.
- State the desired display/fixture language (English, Arabic, or bilingual).
- Confirm whether the kit is for new production or refurbishment.
- Confirm the unit codes to be used for crate marking.
