HOSPITALS AND HEALTHCARE FACILITIES

Modernizing your elevator not only replaces worn parts and equipment, it also upgrades your elevator to improve safety and efficiency and accommodate new features, such as robotic interfaces and new security or accessibility requirements.

Hospital elevators also require the installation of heavy-duty equipment such as stainless steel finishes, bumper rails and vandal-resistant buttons.
