Danger Lift Machinery Access Forbidden Multi-Message Signs warn people about lift machinery hazards while making it clear that only authorised persons should enter. Use them on lift motor rooms, plant access doors and service entrances where moving equipment, electrical systems or maintenance risk must be controlled.

Where Danger Lift Machinery Access Forbidden Signs Should Be Fitted

You should install this sign directly at lift machinery room doors, service cupboards, plant room entrances and restricted lift equipment access points, where people decide whether to enter. Clear face-level positioning helps you stop casual entry before someone reaches moving machinery or electrical equipment.

Viewing Distance Guidance for Lift Machinery Access Points

Choose the larger size where the approach is longer, lighting is poor or the sign is seen across a corridor. For close plant-room doors, the smaller option is usually enough; for wider service areas, 300 x 500 mm gives stronger recognition before the door is reached.

Size option	Practical viewing use	Typical distance guide
H 150 x W 300 mm	Close doorways, lift cupboards and narrow corridors	Up to around 5 m
H 300 x W 500 mm	Plant rooms, wider approaches and shared service areas	Around 10 m or more

What This Sign Helps Change on Site

Once fitted at the right access point, this sign helps you create a clear stop-and-think moment: authorised engineers understand the risk, while staff, visitors and contractors are less likely to enter a lift machinery area without permission.

✅ Reduces casual entry into lift machinery spaces

✅ Supports clearer control of service-only access

✅ Helps maintenance teams identify restricted equipment areas faster
