Now that all equipment is installed within the hoistway, there are far fewer restrictions on building design except for the actual space required for the shaft. Architects and interior designers have more design freedom than ever before.
More Architectural Freedom
Architects, builders, and even interior designers will appreciate the new design freedom that comes with the machine-room-less system. With all equipment installed in the hoistway, designers have far fewer restrictions on elevator placement and arrangement. There's no longer a need to include machine rooms in the plans, nor even factor load stress into the building structure*, since vertical elevator reaction loads are supported by guiderails.

Smaller Hoistway Footprint
Despite the fact that all elevator equipment is now installed in the hoistway, the shaft footprint is actually 13% smaller than in previous models.* This miniaturization extends vertically too.
*With GPS-III for EN81-1 code areas P8-CO, rated speed of 1.0m/s (3.3 ft./sec.), entrance width 800mm (31.5 in.).
Miniaturized and Optimally Configured
Mitsubishi Electric has succeeded in miniaturizing all key elevator equipment. The gearless traction machine and compact PM motor are installed within the hoistway, and the slim control panel (98mm thick*) is now located on the shaft sidewall. This arrangement of equipment frees up space normally required for separate machine rooms or penthouses. The control panel and equipment are configured for easy maintenance, and the entire compact system is optimally organized for performance and service.
