As per the topic, can a king size mattress enter a normal lift? Yes ? No? Apparently this was one question my client asked me last Monday during a meeting.
Well I looked up bed sizes (kingcoil.com.my) and a king size mattress is 1830mm (W) by 1900mm (L). A typical 15 person lift is 1600mm (W) and 1550 (D). Looking at the numbers, 1.6m x 1.5m sure dun fit 1.83m x 1.9m.
However if one were to push the mattress horizontally on its side into the lift and place it across the floor in the lift car, the mattress can barely fit in. It can fit, I have drawn the mattress inside the lift car in autocad, but you do need to "bend" it a bit. If your mattress is thicker than 300mm then maybe it will be a little thougher. The mattress can go through the door because the door is 1m (W) by 2.1m (H), slightly bigger than our normal door. The lift car height is also high, 2.2m, so no problem hitting the roof of the lift car.
Of course the best option is to have a stretcher lift, where a stretcher lift of similar capacity can carry 2 or more mattress without bending the mattress to fit inside. A 15 person stretcher lift is 1.2m (W) and 2.1m (D), so you can just slide in the mattress into the lift on its side without bending.
That is why some condos dun have a stretcher lift, coz technically it is possible to fit a king size mattress into lift car. The questions is, can you actually do it when moving up into your unit?
