A lift may have enough internal space while its entrance still makes bicycle access difficult. “Will it fit in the lift?” therefore needs measurements and a description of the approach. The turn between a corridor and the door matters too.
Record three parts of the route
Entrance: measure the clear width with the door fully open. Note fixed obstacles and changes in level.
Cabin: record usable width and depth, excluding recesses that cannot accommodate the equipment. Allow room for the person handling the bicycle as well.
Exit: check the lobby, corridor turn and next doorway. Getting into the building does not guarantee access through the rest of the route.
Do not base the decision only on the cabin's diagonal. A geometrically possible arrangement may require an impractical manoeuvre or conflict with handling instructions.
Specify the model and configuration
When contacting OnEll, identify whether you are considering a fixed or folding frame. Request measurements for the configuration you intend to move through the building. Do not substitute shipping box dimensions for folded dimensions.
A useful enquiry includes the model, door width, cabin width and depth, corridor width and any steps. Photographs can supplement measurements; they do not need to include people, apartment numbers or other personal details.
Confirm access rules
Ask your building management which lift may be used, required precautions and any time restrictions. OnEll can advise about its product but cannot authorise access on behalf of the building.
If the only alternative involves carrying the equipment on stairs, confirm net weight and assess handling before purchasing.
Review your choice after confirmation
Explore the folding collection when folding might help. For final storage space, use the storage guide. Keep the response you receive and assess the complete route: the model must work with entry, exit and your storage routine.
