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.

Elevator Revolution – Low-Rise Really Easy. Projects are complex with lots of moving parts. Electrical, plumbing, heat and air, structural concerns, finishes, the foundation, openings, and more needs constant attention and adjustment. The logistics of all those construction divisions suck time and resources from already busy schedules. This makes keeping everything on track, on time and moving forward more than a headache to say the least.
So, every once in a while it is a relief when there is a simple solution. A solution that takes an entire part of the project off the critical path, instead of placing it on the to do list. The MEM Elevator System does just that and makes it easy. It allows you to scratch a line through that part of the building project and not think about it again.
The MEM Elevator Solution is a simple solution because with a modular elevator there are only two steps for you once the contract is signed, the purchase made, drawings are approved, and the pit is poured. The first step is a fully installed elevator delivered to the site and craned into place. This step takes less than four hours and none of your time unless you want to watch it go in. The second step is once permanent power is supplied, the elevator is started up. This take around a week. This was exactly the process of one of our most recent projects, Los Osos High School.
Projects like Los Osos High School demonstrate our fast, high-quality solution through forward thinking and superior engineering. See, traditional elevator companies are just stuck in old thinking when it comes to elevator systems. Traditional elevators are anchored in the 60’s (the 1860’s) with no desire to upgrade their product models. As a result they have no idea as to why installations are such a pain for the owner, architect, project manager and designer. And they certainly have no idea as to how to find solutions. Traditional elevators are stuck in a time warp.
Engineering experience and knowledge in the elevator industry is crucial to make your project a success. We have both. The end user needs to know nothing about an elevator other than it goes up when you press a button, but we do. And it matters.
It matters because that is what allows the installation to go in smoothly and quickly without delays and complications. The process is then a success and it leads to a headache free jobsite. Also, because of our expertise and knowledge we are able to accommodate special requests and special circumstances. Others run from projects that need to incorporate a corner post, or difficult applications such as inside the Spruce Goose Hanger for Google. Because of our engineering, knowledge and experience we enjoy the challenge and the results.
This was true on the Los Osos High School project. Everything went according to plan and according to the timeline that was most beneficial for the project. As we all know, schools have a difficult timeline to say the least. Even when it is new construction the calendar of the school district reigns supreme. That brings lots of pressure to bear.
At Los Osos High School a fully installed elevator was delivered when promised. And it was up and running on time with no complications. Wouldn’t it be nice to know that the elevator is taken care of completely? That is possible with the MEM Elevator System. Through engineering and our knowledgeable team we can deliver.
We have a well thought out approach when it comes to durability, quality, safety, and speed. That is due to our decades of experience in the elevator industry in both service and manufacturing. We know the challenges so you benefit from our years of knowledge. Bottom line, we know what it takes to design and build one tough elevator. But beyond that, we deliver it when you need it on the jobsite as a fully installed unit. Here are some videos showing how easy it is.

Elevator Engineering Services – When you start looking at an elevator for your projects, often times the engineering is a mystery and it is easy to feel neglected. Sure, all elevator companies have downloadable plans, but sometimes that is the only information you the building owner, architect or engineer are privy to until it is too late. Then any changes or issues are on you.
To address that problem in the elevator industry we felt a revolution was needed. That meant frontloading the discussions about placement, engineering, hoistway size, cab size and capacity to the front of the process. We do this in a collaborative meeting with all the parties needed called an engineering/design charrette.
A great example of how we help was in a recent engineering charrette.
The building owner wanted as large an elevator as possible attached to the exterior of the existing structure and at first blush, it appeared as if a larger gurney compliant elevator could be placed. This is despite it being only a two-stop building that code did not require a gurney sized elevator at all. They downloaded the plans from our website and dropped them into place. But then the architect and engineer dug a little deeper and found some problems leading to some serious questions.
The hoistway was going to be just a little bit too wide.
The meeting or charrette was schedule and through working together all the questions were answered and simple solutions were discovered. In just one short meeting we were all on the same page. The project went forward, the architectural plans were updated and the project was scheduled for manufacturing. The adjustments also went to our engineering team to make the proper alterations. We then shared our engineering with the customer.
Everyone was happy and everyone had all their questions answered.
When you think outside of the box instead and are willing to communicate instead of obfuscate things generally go very smooth. That is how we see it and why we are leading an elevator revolution.
But that consultation was not something special or out of the ordinary. We provide that service on all of our projects. We want each elevator project to go smooth and so it only makes sense. And get this, if you want engineering completed early and a meeting to go over everything in your package… it is still a part of the total package price. There are no added fees or charges for completing engineering or having the design/engineering charrette

Elevator Revolution – It really is that easy. Projects are complex with lots of moving parts. Electrical, plumbing, heat and air, structural concerns, finishes, the foundation, openings, and more needs constant monitoring and adjustment. The logistics of all those construction divisions suck time and resources from your busy schedule. This makes keeping everything on track, on time and moving forward more than a headache to say the least.
So, every once in a while it is a relief when there is a simple solution. A solution that takes an entire part of the project off the critical path, instead of placing it on the to do list.

Projects like Los Osos High School demonstrate our fast, high-quality solution through forward thinking and superior engineering. See, traditional elevator companies and other modular elevator businesses have significantly less experience or are just stuck in old thinking when it comes to modular elevator systems. Traditional elevators are anchored in the 60’s (the 1860’s) with no desire to upgrade their product models. With the modular elevator business, many elevator novices jumped into the market with little understanding of what makes an elevator tick. As a result they have no idea as to why installations are such a pain and certainly had no idea as to how to find engineering solutions. For them, often times, each elevator produced is an experiment that the builder pays for in real dollars.
But why should superior engineering matter to the developer, building owner, architect, project supervisor, or other building professionals? I mean really the most you really need to know about an elevator is when you press the button, it goes up. In simplest terms an elevator is just a box that goes up and down inside another box.
However, the engineering matters because that is what allows the installation to go in smoothly and quickly without delays and complications. The process is a success because what we say about a simple solution is true. And it leads to a headache free jobsite. Also, because of our expertise and knowledge we are able to accommodate special requests and special circumstances.
