escape hatch
I think this is the exit hatch of a lift - so the escape hatch is the best translation in my opinion
Note from asker:
| I think it is the uppermost part of the shaft but thanks for the suggestion. |

This is the space above the cabin when the elevator is at the top floor.

This term has come up more than once and there is no compelling evidence to suggest one preferred term:

Spanish term or phrase: huida (ascensores, etc.)
English translation: clearance
http://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish_to_english/other/771948-zo...
zona de huida > overhead space
"Continuaremos el replanteo en la zona de foso fijando el tubo abierto correspondiente de forma idéntica a la descrita en la zona de huida."
Explanation:
The original features a great diagram that shows the "zona de huida" as the upper part of the hoistway (shaft), starting from the floor of the top story to the ceiling of the shaft. I think it's "overhead machinery space". If anyone can confirm or correct, I'll be much obliged.
http://www.wikiwords.org/dictionary/zona_de_huida/197238/
Some individuals also suggested "escape shaft" or similar wording, but again I can find nothing too convincing.
These are a start and perhaps worth investigating.

: I'm with you on this one, though if some creativity is allowed, I would make a merging of the first two terms and go with "overhead clearance".

Thanks Alberto. In fact not too long along when I did some manuals on elevators, I seem to recall I had this very same dilemma. Again, thanks.

En Adralift disponemos de ascensores con certificados de diseño y soluciones que permiten resolver, de manera eficiente, situaciones planteadas por foso ó huída de dimensiones reducidas, de forma tal que, mediante la utilización de medidas supletorias -que garantizan los espacios de seguridad cuando se detecta el acceso a la zona peligrosa-, se pueden montar, por ejemplo, aparatos con solo 250 mm de foso, ó 2350 mm huída.
