Passenger and cargo elevators are designed to form the basis of logistic systems of residential buildings of medium and large type.The efficiency of the operation of these systems is the rational choice and placement of elevator installations at the stage of development of logistics systems. Thus one of the main criteria of type and load is the productivity of elevator plants.We performed a study of the required productivity and the number of elevator installations for the logistics system of residential buildings.The obtained results allow to make selection and placement of lifting installations of different purposes, which are produced serially.
