Ok his may be a weird question but I have to ask anyway. Our elevator company is modernizing our two elevators. The replaced the old dover or Otis geared machines with new Hollister Whitney geared machines. They have set the first one in place and the machine is 6" longer than the old machine, and now we do not have proper code clearance at the machine room door. When I looked at the machine, if we just flipped it (180 degrees) the clearance issue would go away.
So the question is, can this be done?
Thanks for your help in advance
