Ankeny · Iowa, USA
Across Des Moines, Urbandale, West Des Moines and Ames, Crestline Elevators helps owners move from patch repairs to a planned, code-compliant modernization.
Iowa
Buildings in Des Moines, Urbandale, West Des Moines and Ames span several generations of elevator technology — relay controls in older towers, early microprocessor systems from the 1990s and newer machine-room-less units. Our work starts by identifying which generation you have, because that decides what can be repaired and what should be replaced.
Where a building in Ankeny needs better accessibility, we combine modernization with upgraded signals, door timing and car controls.
Cold winters, road salt and grit wear door sills and tracks, and hydraulic cars slow down in unheated spaces.
How it works
Every car documented: age, controller, parts and history.
A written modernization scope with options.
Phasing that keeps the building moving.
Installation, testing and acceptance records.
