Elevator Industry OverviewElevator Industry Overview

MAJOR ELEVATOR MANUFACTURERSOtis, Kone, Schindler, Thyssen‐Krupp

MANUFACTURE / INSTALL / SERVICE

STANDARD ELEVATOR PACKAGES

• PRE – ENGINEERED / OFF THE SHELF• TYPICAL 2000 – 3500lb PASSENGER• FITS IN A SPECIFIC SIZE HOISTWAY

Elevator Industry OverviewElevator Industry Overview

INDEPENDENT ELEVATOR COMPANIESMUCH SMALLER THEN THE “MAJORS”

• Typically specialize in service / repair

• Typically offer modernization

• Some offer installation of new equipment – Unlike the majors, most independents don’t manufacture

What type of elevator lifting system

does my building have?1. Traction

a) Geared

b) Gearless

c) MRL (Machine Room-Less)

2. Hydraulic

a. Single Piston (In-ground)

b. Holeless

Traction Elevator

1. Cab is pulled from above by hoist ropes2. Operating equipment positioned above3. Moderate to high speed (200‐1200 FPM)4. Medium to high rise 5. Maintenance cost is higher

Geared Gearless MRL

Elevator Service Contracts Elevator Service Contracts


Why do I need a maintenance contract?1.Preventive Maintenance

• One of the more expensive pieces of equipment in your building

2.Parts replacement 1. Consumables (Fixture lighting, door gibs, wiper rollers, slide

guides / rollers, belts, fuses, starter contacts, )


Why do I need a maintenance contract?3. Law requirements / testing

• (MCP) Maintenance Control Program

• Annual safety test for hydraulic and Traction

• 5 year full load test for Traction

• Oil usage log

• Emergency Phone line test & monitoring

• Fire service testing


How is the contract cost determined?1. Age of equipment

2. Condition of equipment

3. Type of lifting system

4. Pre-existing problems

5. Full maintenance or preventative only

6. Frequency of Maintenance

7. Client expectations (after hours coverage)


A.What doesn’t a service contract cover?1. After hours calls (unless included in the contract)

2. Holidays (All the Major Holidays + read your contract)

3. Repairs needed because of vandalism, flood, fire, etc.

4. Cab lighting

5. Underground Piping (Hydraulic Oil line and Jack /Cylinder )

6. Special accessories (battery lowering batteries, cab fan,)

7. Specialty systems (inverted jack packings)

8. Code changes


Contract terminology1. Full Service contract - (repairs and regular hour callbacks are included)

2. Oil and Grease contract - (preventative maintenance only)

3. Exceptions / Exclusions

4. Callbacks

5. Price adjustment (Regular Hours, Overtime, After hours, Overtime difference)

6. Obsolescence

7. Fire service test

8. Emergency Phone monitoring

Elevator Service ContractsElevator Service Contracts

Contract Terms 1.Length of contract - (auto-renew, fixed term)

2.Service frequency - (quarterly, monthly, semi-annually, other)

3.Payment frequency -(monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, annual, 5yr)

4.Labor rates – (Straight Time, Overtime, Double Time)

5.Cancellation Window – (If you are looking to change)

Elevator ModernizationElevator Modernization

Elevator Modernization Elevator Modernization

WHY MODERNIZE? **Modernizations of an elevator are centered around the Controller “Brain of the Elevator”

1. Code Driven Modernizations • MN 1307 requiring the addition of fire service

2. Obsolescence • Controller / Brain of the elevator is not supported

by the Manufacturer

Elevator Modernization TrendsElevator Modernization Trends

For a School - Demand Non-Proprietary

1. Specify 3rd Party Components A. Controller / Brain of the ElevatorB. Door Equipment C. Fixtures

•Any elevator company can bid to a Non-Proprietary spec•Replacement parts are available on the open market•Cost associated with replacement components are competitive•Any elevator company can service a Non-Proprietary Elevator

New Construction Trends New Construction Trends


New Construction Starts with an Architect• Many Architects rely on specification services

• Products at the top of the list in a master spec. are not always the best fit for your facility

• Many specs we are seeing use a “Major OEM” as a basis of design


Standard “MAJOR OEM” Elevator Packages 1. Pre-engineered, Mass-produced, low up front cost 2. High cost of ownership due to the following

•In some cases; restricted serviceability•Restricted purchase on repair parts•Restricted purchase on diagnostic equipment•Tribal knowledge on troubleshooting•Idiosyncrasies with each different equipment design •Costly overhaul type repairs have been required within the first 10 years


Non-Proprietary Elevator Packages are Recommended for Schools

•Any elevator company can bid to a Non-Proprietary spec•Any elevator company can service a Non-Proprietary Elevator•Replacement parts are available on the open market•Cost associated with replacement components are competitive

**Lower cost of ownership on a Non-Proprietary Elevator
