COVID-19 Notice

Preferred Elevator would like to assure our customers that we are taking all necessary steps to do our part in flattening the curve of COVID-19. We have developed a “No Family Contact” process for service, repairs and installations. Our Mechanic, who will be wearing a mask and gloves, will call you when we are at your front door and will discuss the issues or concerns you have with your unit. Our customer can then unlock the door, but there is no need to further greet the Mechanic or be present for the service, repair or installation. Please feel free to move to another part of the home while we are working. Final payment can be left for technician or can be done over the phone with our office.
We greatly appreciate your business during this time.

Sincerely,
Ken Gough

URGENT SAFETY NOTICE

Elevators installed with more than 4 inches of “gap space” between the hoistway doors and the elevator car doors can pose a serious safety risk. Children may become entrapped in the space and could be seriously injured or killed. This risk can be reduced with the proper installation of space guards at each floor.

Material Lifts

Material LiftWhen you need to move cargo between floors, you need to be able to count on strength and reliability. A material lift installation from Preferred Elevator can provide you with that peace of mind. A commercial material lift can be an excellent addition to your business or multiple unit residential building, to significantly reduce the work involved in moving whatever needs to be moved across multiple levels. Safety always comes first, and material lifts are designed and equipped to carry a wide range of materials, from lighter items like cleaning supplies to heavier cargo items like manufacturing materials. Keep your staff safe, and help to keep them productive with this back-saving, time-saving technology. Using less energy and less space than a passenger elevator, our material lifts are as efficient as they are sturdy with commercial grade construction throughout. And, with options for stainless steel or primed finishes, you’ll not have to sacrifice appearance.

If you work in an environment that requires strict separation of materials, such as hospitals, medical facilities, laboratory settings, and other places that handle potentially hazardous materials, you know the challenges of moving these items safely and correctly. A material lift from Preferred Elevator helps you move these hazardous materials within regulatory guidelines. If you work in the hospitality industry where time is of the essence, like in restaurants or hotels, you want to be able to move essential items quickly without burdening your guests. Keep the dinnerware and linens out of the way, and get them where they need to go quickly.

As you’re deciding which size and model material lift might be right for you, it’s important to take its purpose into consideration. Our elevator industry experts at Preferred Elevator can help you assess and determine your exact need. Ask us about car sizes, space requirements, and opening options, and heavy duty weight bearing. We install, improve, update, and maintain material lifts throughout Central Maryland, so Contact us today for a free consultation. Features and benefits of a material lift include:

  • Custom built to any purpose
  • Loads upward of 10,000 lbs.
  • Lift distance up to 100 ft.
  • Multiple loading configurations
  • Precision guide rails
