Getting a lift fitted is a building project, not a shopping trip. Good lift installation in Bhabua depends on three things coming together: a shaft built to the right drawing, a clean and safe power supply, and an installation team that checks its own work at every step. Eldeal Engineers handles the lift side of that job for houses, clinics, schools and market buildings in the town.
We are open about how we work here. There is no Eldeal office in Bhabua. Every project in the town is served by our Sasaram corporate office team, the same engineers who survey your site, install the lift and later maintain it. Because our team travels in for each stage, we plan carefully so that no visit is wasted.
Lift installation in Bhabua: homes and buildings are different jobs
Family houses
In a house, the lift usually serves two to four floors and carries a few people at a time, often elderly parents. The shaft is small, and it may be placed in a corner of the house, near the staircase or on an outside wall. The family is often living in the house during installation, so we keep the work area barricaded and tidy, and agree working hours in advance. Our home lift range is designed for this kind of building.
Clinics, schools and market buildings
Here the lift works much harder. A nursing home needs a car long enough for a stretcher and a very smooth ride, so a hospital elevator is the usual choice. A school or coaching building needs capacity for crowds at fixed times. A market building may need a goods lift for stock, a passenger lift for customers, or both. These buildings often stay open while we work, so the site has to be managed around patients, students or shoppers.
What to send us before the first visit
A little homework before the survey makes the visit far more useful. Photos and rough figures sent on WhatsApp let our engineer arrive with the right drawings and questions.
| Send us | Why we ask |
|---|---|
| Number of floors, including terrace access if needed | Decides the number of stops and the travel height |
| Building plan or a hand sketch with the proposed lift position | Shows whether the shaft can serve every floor sensibly |
| Photos of the shaft or the space for it, top and bottom | Gives a first idea of pit and headroom |
| Photo of the electricity meter and main board | Tells us whether the supply needs upgrading |
| Who will use the lift and what it will carry | Decides capacity, car size and door type |
None of this replaces the free site survey, but it lets us give you better advice on that first day.
Preparing the site: the owner's part of the work
The civil and electrical work is arranged by the owner, using the drawing we provide. In practice, these are the points that most often hold up a project:
- A shaft that is not true. Walls must be plumb and to the drawing size from pit to top. We check at several heights before installation starts.
- A pit that takes in water. Heavy monsoon rain finds its way into badly sealed pits. Waterproofing is far cheaper during construction than after.
- Missing headroom. The space above the top stop is needed for safe overtravel. It cannot be added later without breaking the slab.
- Power not ready. Apply early for any new or upgraded connection, provide proper earthing and a dedicated supply to the lift controller.
If the building does not have space on the roof for a machine room, read our guide on MRL vs machine room elevators before the drawings are fixed.
Delivery and storage of lift equipment
We confirm the shaft is ready before the lift equipment is sent to Bhabua. This avoids material lying unused for weeks on a half-finished site. On arrival, the equipment is unloaded into a covered, dry and lockable space close to the shaft. Please keep that space free for the duration of the work. Design-tested components arrive packed, and we check them against the order before erection begins.
Installation on site, in order
- Setting out. Plumb lines are dropped and the shaft is measured again against the drawing.
- Rails and brackets. Guide rails are fixed and aligned so the car travels straight and quietly.
- Machine and controller. The machine is placed and the controller with its V3F (VVVF) drive is mounted and wired.
- Car and counterweight. The car frame, cabin and counterweight are assembled and connected.
- Doors. Landing doors on each floor and the car door are fitted, with a light-curtain sensor to protect passengers.
- Safety equipment. The automatic rescue device (ARD), overload sensor with voice prompt, intercom, alarm and emergency light are installed.
Each stage is inspected by our engineers before the next one starts. Problems found early cost little to correct. You can read about our general method on the lift installation service page.
Testing, handover and the file you keep
Before anyone rides the lift, we test levelling at every floor, door timing, the overload warning, alarm and intercom, brake operation and the rescue function during a simulated power cut. Load tests are carried out at rated capacity. At handover we show the owner or building staff how the lift works, what to do if someone is stuck and whom to call. You receive the test records and user instructions, which form the start of the lift's maintenance file. Our lift maintenance checklist explains what should be checked from then on.
Standards for new lifts in Bihar
Any lift installed in Bhabua today should be designed to IS 17900. BIS made this standard, which is aligned with the European EN 81-20 and EN 81-50 codes, mandatory for new installations from 22 December 2025, in place of older codes such as IS 14665 for traction lifts. Among other things, it asks for protection against unintended car movement (UCMP), protection against the car overspeeding upwards (ACOP) and an automatic rescue device. The Bihar Lift and Escalator Bill, 2024, passed by the Bihar Assembly on 2 August 2024, covers registration, inspections, maintenance and third-party insurance. Please confirm current notifications with the local authority before you begin.
After the installation
A lift in Bhabua still needs regular care once it is running. Maintenance and AMC visits are planned in advance from Sasaram, and breakdown support is available 24/7. To learn more about how we look after buildings in the town, see our lift company in Bhabua page.
