Georgia Welcomes Modular Elevators – Morrow, GA. With our partners at Georgia Lift Solutions an MEM Elevator System is now in place in a community center in the state of Georgia.
The two-stop project is the first modular elevator for Georgia Lift Solutions and demonstrates how easy installing an elevator can be.
Kyle Floyd and Dillon Graham of Georgia Lift Solutions became interested in the MEM Elevator System a year ago and saw the potential of a product that cut the project time, reduced ancillary expenses, and provided a high-quality solution. They toured the MEM factory and found that the MEM product would be a perfect match for their organization and many of those needing elevators in their service area.
For them a modular elevator is a great way to grow their business. As the units come fully installed, placement takes less than a day and start up less than a week. They recognized that a traditional elevator would suck too many resources and take too long to complete for their business model. The MEM solution was perfect.
To further explain: a traditional elevator arrives on pallets and is literally assembled, one piece at a time, in an existing elevator shaft. Unbelievable but true. That process is labor intensive, slow, difficult, and dangerous. The difference is manufacturing of the MEM product. In a factory setting a sturdy steel elevator shaft containing all the parts and components is produced.
Everything is installed including the doors, rails, wiring, hall calls, and even the elevator car. MEM National Sales Manager – David Torres explained the difference this way. “A traditional elevator is like buying a car from a dealership, but instead of a new car arriving, it comes to your driveway in crates and boxes, then a mechanic shows up when they want and assembles it right there.” He went on to say that, “No one would ever purchase something as complex in that fashion. As a modular elevator arrives fully installed modular just makes more sense.”
The set at the community center went as promised with the entire process taking less than a day. The elevator arrives on a truck and it is lifted at four points by a crane. It is then rested on cribbing and the crane connection are adjusted. Then it was lifted vertically and carefully placed on bolts in the pre-poured concrete elevator pit. Easy.
Now, once permanent power is provided the Georgia Lift Solutions team will return and start up the unit. They will make sure it levels properly at each floor and then ready it for inspection and use. Simple.
This fast and smoother modular product is revolutionizing the elevator industry and it is long overdue. See, the traditional way of elevator installation is one piece at a time in an existing elevator shaft. That has not changed since the 60s…the 1860s. The need is for revolution. And, the MEM Elevator System is leading that revolution. See the video below.
So, are you ready for a better alternative to the old-fashioned elevator industry? If so, we are ready for a conversation. For your next project it maybe time to explore the possibilities of the MEM Elevator System.
