Where would you install a service lift?

Many people like the idea of a service lift, particularly when they’ve been told what a difference it can make to office output or restaurant efficiency, but there is no point in making a substantial financial investment if a service lift would not actually make that much of a difference. 

If you run a busy restaurant then a service lift would certainly help as it would do in an office or administrative concern set over many floors where employees regularly had to walk around with large boxes of files. In terms of physically where a lift should be placed then, obviously, every office is different and so no firm answer could really be given to the question.  You need a place which is out of the way, at the corner or the back of an office and somewhere where the wall is going to be able to accommodate the lift shaft.

Also, you need to find a place in your company where the lift can correspond to the same spot between floors; this basically means that, if you find a spot on one floor for the lift, there is no point if the lift shaft opens up in the middle of a crowded office or behind someone’s desk on the floor below.
