Factors affecting apartment elevator prices

To understand why prices can vary significantly, it is important to consider the following technical factors:

Elevator type and apartment elevator prices

  • Locally assembled elevators: Cabins are manufactured domestically while components are imported, resulting in lower prices and easier maintenance.
  • Fully imported elevators: All components are supplied as a complete system from the factory, resulting in higher prices and more consistent operation.

Load capacity and number of stops

  • The higher the load capacity, the higher the cost.
  • High-rise buildings can increase the cost by approximately VND 10 million per floor.

This is the most important factor when calculating the price.

Elevator speed

  • High speeds (≥1.75 m/s) are suitable for high-rise buildings.
  • Higher-performance motors and advanced control systems may increase costs.

Cabin interior and additional features

  • Mirror stainless steel cabins, glass cabins, and customized designs → higher costs.
  • Additional features: Automatic rescue device, keycard access control, camera, intercom, etc
