Elmhurst · Illinois, USA
the Office of the State Fire Marshal (with the City of Chicago for Chicago buildings) orders, obsolete parts and long lead times — we sort out what your Elmhurst elevators really need and in what order.
FAQ
When parts for the controller are hard to source, callbacks are rising, or inspection orders keep recurring. A condition survey shows whether you're there yet.
Cost depends on the number of cars and stops, whether the machine is replaced, door equipment and finishes. A condition survey produces an itemized scope and cost range; phasing spreads the spend.
Equipment age and type, controller generation, parts availability, inspection history, callback log review and a recommended scope.
Yes — car controls, signals, door timing and, where needed, platform or LULA lifts.
Usually several weeks per car, depending on scope. We phase multi-car buildings so at least one elevator keeps running.
Chicago metro
Owners across the Chicago metro area tell us the same story: the elevators still run, but parts take weeks and every breakdown costs tenants a day. Modernizing before the controller fails completely is cheaper and far less disruptive.
We also review existing maintenance contracts so the new equipment is looked after properly once it is installed.
Cold winters, road salt and grit wear door sills and tracks, and hydraulic cars slow down in unheated spaces.
