The calculator that speaks your language: feet, inches, and fractions. Elevator Calculator is a field calculator built specifically for elevator mechanics and constructors. No generic construction fluff - every tool maps to work you actually do in the hoistway. TAPE-MEASURE CALCULATOR - Add, subtract, multiply, and divide in feet-inches-fractions (down to 1/32") - Integer math under the hood - answers are exact, never 5.999999' - One-tap unit toggle: feet-inches, decimal feet, decimal inches, metric - Calculation tape and memory, just like the desk calculator you grew up on ELEVATOR TOOLS - Hoistway: total height, rail length, and bracket count from floor data - Rope/cable length with roping ratio, sheave wraps, and termination allowance - Clearance checker: pit depth and overhead PASS/FAIL by rated speed - Bracket spacing layout, standard or seismic ELECTRICAL TOOLS - Ohm's law solver - enter any 2 of V, I, R, P - NEC voltage drop calculator with 3%/5% pass/fail - Wire gauge reference: resistance and 60/75/90 degree C ampacity, 14 AWG to 500 MCM - NEC 240.4(D) small-conductor breaker limits noted right in the table BUILT FOR THE FIELD - Dark, high-contrast UI readable in a machine room - Works completely offline - no signal in the pit, no problem - No account, no ads, no subscription Reference values are typical industry minimums - always verify against ASME A17.1, the NEC, and your job specs. If you spend your day converting 7' 6-3/8" in your head, this one's for you.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Elevator Calculator at Free against Civil Engineering Pack's $19.99. Elevator Calculator also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 8 months). Civil Engineering Pack's advantage is ratings volume (21 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
