Certified Prefabricated Steel Elevator Shaft Manufacturer
A steel elevator shaft is a prefabricated steel structure designed to safely house elevator systems in residential, commercial, and high-rise buildings. Compared with concrete shafts, steel elevator shafts offer faster installation, greater design flexibility, lower lifecycle cost, and certified safety compliance.
As a Steel Structure / PEB Manufacturer & Producer, BST supplies factory-built, EN 81-20 compliant steel elevator shafts with full construction drawings, load calculations, and global delivery—direct from our manufacturing facilities.
Product Overview
BST steel elevator shafts are engineered for modern construction projects that require speed, precision, and long-term reliability. All systems are manufactured under strict ISO 9001 quality control and delivered as prefabricated or modular units for fast on-site assembly.
Key Applications
High-rise buildings
Commercial complexes
Residential towers
Hospitals and hotels
Industrial and public infrastructure
Key Advantages of Steel Elevator Shafts
Fast Installation – No concrete curing, install in days
Flexible Design – Slim walls, custom sections, curved layouts
Lower Lifecycle Cost – Reduced labor, maintenance, and downtime
Sustainable Construction – 90% recyclable steel, low site waste
Seismic Performance – Excellent earthquake resistance
