Racine · Wisconsin, USA
Ageing controllers, rising callbacks and inspection orders are the three reasons Racine owners call us. We turn them into a phased modernization plan.
FAQ
Yes — elevating devices are subject to periodic inspection and testing requirements under the elevator safety code (ASME A17.1 / CSA B44) as adopted in Wisconsin, administered by the state or local elevator authority. We schedule and document required tests.
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.
Modern drives and LED lighting usually reduce elevator energy use compared with older motor-generator or relay systems.
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.

Milwaukee metro
Buildings in Kenosha, Greenfield, Milwaukee and West Allis 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.
Typical scope in Racine: new controller and drive, door operators and restrictors, hall and car fixtures, and — where needed — machine replacement. Shaft, rails and car frame are usually retained.
Cold winters, road salt and grit wear door sills and tracks, and hydraulic cars slow down in unheated spaces.
