Structural Steel Support for Commercial, Multi-Family & Residential Elevator Shafts

Elevator Hoistway Structural Steel Systems

Bare Steel Inc. fabricates and installs the structural steel framework that supports modern elevator systems. Working alongside elevator manufacturers, general contractors, and structural engineers, we provide precision-built steel components that create a safe, code-compliant hoist way ready for elevator installation.

Our scope includes custom fabricated hoist beams, structural columns, guide rail support systems, embedded plates, divider beams, equipment support steel, pit steel, and other miscellaneous structural steel required throughout the elevator shaft.

Rail Support Plates

Rail support plates provide welded or bolted attachment locations for elevator guide rail brackets. These steel plates are integrated into the hoistway structure to create a rigid mounting surface capable of supporting operational and seismic loads.

Each support plate is fabricated to project specifications for accurate field installation.

Guide Rail Brackets

Guide rail brackets securely connect elevator guide rails to the building’s structural steel or concrete shaft. Proper bracket placement is critical for maintaining rail alignment and ensuring smooth elevator operation.
Bare Steel fabricates custom structural bracket support systems based on approved engineering drawings and elevator manufacturer requirements.

Embedded Plates

Embedded plates are cast into concrete walls and structural elements before the elevator system is installed.

These embedded steel plates provide permanent attachment points for:

1. Guide rail brackets
2. Structural framing
3. Divider beams
4. Miscellaneous elevator supports
Proper placement of embedded plates helps reduce field modifications while improving installation accuracy.

Divider Beams

Divider beams separate multiple elevator shafts or support framing between adjacent elevator openings.

These structural members transfer loads throughout the building while providing support for shaft construction and related structural components.

Divider beams are commonly found in commercial buildings, apartment complexes, hospitals, hotels, and high-rise developments.

Machine Support Steel

For elevators requiring dedicated machine rooms or overhead equipment, Bare Steel fabricates custom structural support steel designed to carry elevator machinery and associated loads.

Machine support steel may include:

Wide flange beams
Tube steel framing
Equipment support platforms
Structural connection plates

All fabrication is performed according to project engineering and elevator manufacturer requirements.

Elevator Pit Steel

The elevator pit contains several structural steel components that support installation and long-term operation.

Bare Steel fabricates pit steel including:

Embedded angles
Support channels
Structural framing
Equipment support members
Miscellaneous fabricated steel

Our pit steel is manufactured for accurate fit-up, helping streamline installation in the field.

Equipment Platforms

Many elevator systems require dedicated access platforms for maintenance equipment, controllers, or machinery.

Bare Steel fabricates custom steel equipment platforms designed for:

Safe maintenance access
Equipment support
Service walkways
Mechanical access areas

Platforms are built to project specifications with safety and durability in mind.
