MP Mega cars and shafts
The drawing below shows the 2000 kg machine-room-less version. A shaft of this size is planned at the building design stage, as it becomes part of the structure.
| Persons | Rated load, kg | Speed, m/s | Car without MR | Shaft without MR | Car with MR | Shaft with MR | Pit | Headroom |

MR = machine room. Pit and headroom are given for 1.0 m/s; these are the manufacturer’s typical values, and car sizes are external dimensions. For your project we will confirm the figures from the drawing.
MP Mega with and without a machine room
The machine room affects the shaft dimensions and, for loads up to 2500 kg, the car shape as well.
| Up to 2500 kg | The 2000 kg car differs between the two versions: 1500 × 2700 mm without a machine room and 2000 × 2100 mm with one. The shaft shape changes too. |
|---|---|
| From 3000 kg | The car is the same, but the shaft with a machine room is narrower: by 150 mm for a 3000 kg load and by 250 mm for a 5000 kg load. |
| Which to choose | The choice depends on what your building has less of: shaft width or space above the shaft. We will work out both options from the drawing. |
Where high-capacity lifts operate
According to the manufacturer, MP GO! Mega, MP H and MP GO! Evolution lifts operate in IKEA stores in several countries. Cars for shoppers with trolleys and cars for goods are finished differently.


Lifts for loads over 6500 kg
The MP Mega table ends at 6500 kg, but MP also builds heavier lifts to custom designs.
For the international ITER fusion project in Cadarache, MP built five highly complex lifts, including a gearless goods lift rated at 12,000 kg. They are designed for category 3 earthquakes, magnetic fields and radiation.
If the car you need is not in the table, we will send the manufacturer a request for a custom design as soon as we know the dimensions of your building.

Questions about MP Mega
How many stops does MP Mega have?
According to the manufacturer’s website, MP Mega has up to 32 stops, while the 2019 catalogue states 16 stops and 50 m of travel. We confirm the exact number for each specific project.
Is it a goods lift or a passenger lift?
The manufacturer’s table gives MP Mega capacity in persons, from 26 to 86. If the car will mainly carry goods, it is worth also considering dedicated goods lifts for 1500-6500 kg, which have different doors and loading methods.
How does rescue work during a power failure?
MP Mega uses a different rescue arrangement from MP GO. We specify the arrangement for your configuration in the proposal.
