Elevator system with controller located under elevator landing

摘要

An elevator system includes a hoistway defined in a surrounding structure, with a front wall that extends along a length of the hoistway. The front wall includes at least one elevator door frame that accommodates an elevator door, with a landing provided frontwardly of the elevator door frame. A recess defined in the front wall extends a predetermined distance along a length of the hoistway from a first end below the elevator door frame to a second end that opens into the landing. A controller is disposed within the recess to provide easy and safe access to the controller from the landing.
