The Right Elevator for Your Building - Let’s Make It Happen!
FINDING THE RIGHT PLACE FOR YOUR ELEVATOR
We can install an elevator in almost any building. The size and shape of your stairwell will determine whether the elevator will be installed inside or outside.
Installation options:
Inside the stairwell with the stairs on either side
In the middle of the staircase
Partly replacing the staircase, which is extended outside the building
In a pre-assembled shaft on an exterior wall; because the shaft is pre-assembled then lifted into place to save time and money.
CHOOSING AN ELEVATOR DESIGN
We can create a solution that matches the interior design and architecture of any building. You can choose an elevator shaft material that matches both your building’s interior and the car wall and floor materials.
