I found this seems correct

Definition:

The maximum elevator travel length is the greatest distance within a structure traveled by a single elevator. It is measured from the lowest utilized position of the elevator floor to the highest position of the same floor. If the elevator's travel path bends, the distance is calculated along the curve or track of its route rather than a straight line.

 

[RLGA]

ASME A17.1-2007, considers this a "rise" and is defined as "the vertical distance between the bottom terminal landing and the top terminal landing of an elevator, dumbwaiter, or material lift."
