Project Highlight | MacroLift Completes an 8-Stop Elevator Installation at Jinqiao Xindu in Chongqing

Hours Release Date:

Installing elevators in existing residential buildings requires careful consideration of building structures, available space, and construction conditions. Recently, MacroLift (Chongqing) Co., Ltd. completed an 8-stop elevator installation project at Jinqiao Xindu Residential Community in Shapingba District, Chongqing, using its on-site modular assembly method and an integrated hoisting approach.

A Solution Tailored to Existing Buildings

Built between 2009 and 2018, Jinqiao Xindu is an established residential community with multiple walk-up apartment buildings. To accommodate the existing building conditions, MacroLift adopted a steel-structure elevator shaft with metal-carved panel cladding, together with a staggered-floor access arrangement designed to suit the building layout.

Modular Assembly for More Efficient Installation

For this project, MacroLift applied its on-site modular assembly method, using an integrated hoisting approach for elevator shaft installation. Compared with conventional on-site welding and assembly, this method allows part of the fabrication and assembly work to be completed in advance, reducing on-site welding operations.

This approach helps shorten on-site construction time and reduce noise and dust associated with construction activities, minimizing disruption to residents’ daily lives.

The project reflects MacroLift’s approach to adapting elevator installation methods to the conditions of existing buildings. By combining appropriate structural configurations with tailored construction solutions, MacroLift continues to address the practical challenges of elevator modernization in residential communities.

MacroLift will continue to develop elevator solutions for existing buildings, helping improve vertical accessibility through practical engineering and installation expertise.
