Key Cost Drivers Breakdown

  1. Fuji (China): Most Cost-Effective

    • Procurement & Setup: Starts around BDT 13 to 18.5 Lakhs for standard 630 kg units.

    • Maintenance: Features low maintenance overhead because replacement components (sensors, rollers, door operators) are widely stocked by suppliers in Dhaka and Chattogram.

  2. Turkish Lifts: Mid-to-Premium Range

    • Procurement & Setup: Typically ranges between BDT 30 to 35 Lakhs for standard configurations.

    • Maintenance: European-compliant safety components (such as progressive safety gears and Italian/Turkish drive units) require specialized maintenance routines, driving higher AMC fees.

  3. Jakosc (Spain): High-End Premium

    • Procurement & Setup: Starts around BDT 36 to 42 Lakhs. Built strictly to EN81-20/50 directives.

    • Maintenance: Requires trained engineers for microprocessor diagnostic testing and authentic European replacement spares, resulting in higher long-term maintenance costs.
