Petr- you will need 10ft of entryway system in front of the elevators. Perhaps there is some sort of heavy grate system that be used where it crosses the traffic lanes.

Petr - if you can't manipulate the primary direction of travel to be out of the vehicle lane, perhaps try an alternate compliance path where 5' or 6' is outside, and an open grid mat on the floor of the elevator serves as the balance. Elevator floors always need frequent cleaning anyway. Has anyone else tried something like this?
