Benefits

Complete Hydraulic Elevator Expertise

Cylinder Replacement

The most significant hydraulic elevator repair, we handle complete cylinder replacements including underground extraction and installation for in-ground systems.

Valve & Pump Service

Hydraulic control valves and power units are critical for smooth, safe operation. We repair, adjust, and replace valves and pump/motor assemblies for all hydraulic configurations.

Emergency Battery Lowering

Battery lowering devices allow controlled car descent during power failures. Required by code in many applications and essential for passenger safety.

Underground Leak Detection

In-ground cylinders can leak undetected, contaminating soil and groundwater. We perform cylinder condition assessment and PVF testing to identify issues before they become environmental problems.

FAQ

Common
questions.

Have more questions? Contact our team or call (425) 821-7289.

What causes poor leveling on a hydraulic elevator? +

Poor leveling is most commonly caused by valve wear or misadjustment, seal leaks causing drift, oil viscosity changes from temperature or contamination, or pump performance issues. We diagnose the root cause rather than just re-adjusting.

How serious is an underground cylinder leak? +

Very serious. Underground cylinder leaks can contaminate soil and groundwater, creating environmental liability. Older single-bottom cylinders can fail catastrophically. We perform PVF (Pressure Vessel Field) testing to assess cylinder integrity.

What is a battery lowering device and is it required? +

A battery lowering device allows controlled lowering of the elevator car to a landing during a power failure, enabling passenger egress. It's required by code in many applications and is an important safety feature for any hydraulic elevator.

How often should hydraulic oil be tested or replaced? +

Hydraulic oil should be analyzed periodically for contamination, wear particles, and viscosity breakdown. Frequency depends on usage and equipment age. Our maintenance programs include oil condition monitoring as part of routine service.

Can you modernize an old hydraulic elevator? +

Yes. Modern controller upgrades, power unit replacements, and valve modernizations can significantly improve performance, efficiency, and reliability. Some hydraulic elevators can also be converted to machine-room-less configurations.
