Pre-Inspection Meetings Provide Benefits

For new construction projects perhaps the most important  consideration is setting up a pre-installation and pre-inspection meeting with your elevator company.  Genesis will provide a site checklist for you to assist in getting everything in place in order to have a seamless installation.  Your elevator installation requires the coordination of many trades and a miscue here can not only delay your installation but also result in unnecessary costs with your project.  Genesis prides ourselves in partnering with our general contractors to keep the project moving along with regards to the elevator installation.

Genesis performs better than our competition on service and maintenance

Property owners and managers don’t often look at their elevator pits however they should.  As seen below this elevator pit is left in bad shape.   The property owner thought its elevator service provider was keeping on top of this when in reality they were not. 

Leaking oil managed by soak rags instead of repacking the hydraulic jack not only is not proper elevator maintenance this is also a fire hazard.  This item is covered within your maintenance and service agreement and is something you are paying your elevator service and repair company to perform.  Call us for a free inspection and survey to ensure you are getting what you pay for and that your elevators are being routinely serviced and maintained.   770.423.1095

Elevator Models Incorporated with Diverse Technology

To ensure maximum comfort and convenience to users, a wide variety of technologically advanced models of residential home elevators are available now.  These include hydraulic, cable, chain, gearless, and vacuum.  Home elevators afford a smooth travel at a reasonable price.  The cost of residential elevators mainly depends on the incorporated technology along with the materials used in manufacturing.

Considering the safety features, many of these elevators are provided with:

 • Cable safety devices• Door and hoistway interlocks• Slack chain• Emergency alarm and light•                Emergency stop switch• Telephone system

 In addition, most of these home elevators can carry loads up to 950 pounds and have an operating speed of about 40 fpm; slight variations are likely, based on the models and technology used.

Battery Lowering Device Important Upgrade with High Rise

There are many things that building owners may not understand about their elevators.  For instance in buildings under a certain rise the code does not require a means of emergency lowering.  This essentially means that if the user is between floors and the power goes out that they will be stuck in the elevator until power is restored or a technician gets them out.  Battery powered lowering will allow the elevator to get to the lowest floor and open the doors in the event that the power goes out to your building while the elevators are in use.  Give Genesis a call today to quote battery powered emergency backups for your elevator today!
