Elevator cab shells and enclosures

Elevator cab shells, built to your specifications.

Complete cab shells and enclosures for new construction and elevator modernization — welded steel walls, canopy and fronts, fabricated in Stevensville, Maryland to the platform dimensions and door layout on your drawings, and delivered ready for the interior.

For elevator companies

The cab shop for independents.

The big four build their own cabs. Everyone else has to buy them somewhere, and that is the work CabCraft was built for. Send us the cab drawing, the platform size and the door configuration, and we fabricate the shell to it: walls, car top, front returns, strike jambs and headers, with every cutout and support for the fixtures and the door operator you are providing.

Outfit your new shell with a Fusion interior system. One vendor, less headache, guaranteed to fit.

Construction

How it is built

Every shell is drawn as a complete virtual assembly in SolidWorks before anything is cut. The individual parts are then exported straight to our CNC fiber laser and CNC metal folder, so every panel, stiffener and cutout is fabricated to the model. Standard construction covers most passenger cabs; heavier gauges and stainless walls are available when the job calls for them.

Parts exported from the SolidWorks model to the fiber laser — no re-drawing, no hand layout

Standard and optional

Built the way your job needs it.

Every shell ships with a reinforced canopy, operator supports, steady plates, hatch switch and exhaust fan. Car-top railings and sound deadening are added when the job calls for them.

Reinforced canopy

Car-top railing system

Sound deadening

Drawings to delivery

Every shell starts as a drawing set

Shop drawings for approval before anything is cut: finish schedule and weights, every wall elevation, the front wall and the plan section.

Sheet 1 — finish schedule, weights and isometrics
Sheet 2 — wall elevations and canopy from below
Sheet 3 — front wall and plan section
Before we engineer

The platform survey

We engineer every shell to the platform it will sit on. Pick the sheet for your door arrangement, fill it in on screen and send it with your request, or send your own platform drawing. A budget price needs only the request form below; nothing is engineered until we have the platform on paper.

Tell us about the cab

Platform size, door configuration and the front finish are enough for a budget price. Attach the platform survey or your own drawing when you have it and we quote from those.
